MU is actually a really nice, smart guy in RL. He doesn't seem to be anything at all like his MU persona. Unfortunately though, sometimes I think even HE forgets when he is supposed to be MU and when he is real.
I know he was trying to start over on this board, but even he fell back into the MU persona at times. Even HE joked around about being the MU. It is hard to treat his persona differently when he is posting the same type of stuff.
I like MU and I hope he comes back. I like the real person behind MU.

"MU" is an act, and if people can't see that he wasn't real, then they lack a sense of humor. He said some things to me on the old place that cut deep, but we discussed it privately and settled our differences, and then moved on. If you really are wanting him to stick around, most of you already have a way to contact him and let him know.

I can get word to him too if this is the case. Most of you already know that the R/L guy is the polar-opposite of the MU.

SL, please do email him for me too. I never got his email, just talked to him on FB. And yes--he really is a great guy! A little "dense" (that isn't meant to sound mean, don't know how to word it better) like all guys at times I think, but a caring person.

Who is "MU"?
I found long ago that being "myself" was the easiest way to go. "Myself" is in quotes because I put up with more extraneous crap IRL than I do on message boards, probably because of (1) more complete information about both the crap dispenser and the issue at hand and (2) the fact I'll have to continue to deal with the crap dispenser on a regular basis.
That said, I don't put up with disregarding relevant facts on boards or IRL.

You don't "act" like an ass for years.

You're acting the same way everyone else did when they came over here and started bitching about what a horrible mod you were on the old board.

I've spoken to people (women in fact) who have actually met MU in person, who have wonderful things to say about him. The FACT that so many people on this thread are jumping to his defense should tell you that maybe there are facts you're not aware of, or choosing to ignore. As far as Looney goes, I've always found her entertaining (when I could understand her).

I admitted to giving MU some karma, and still gave him grief over here, but all in fun, smilies included. I understand that in R/L he is a decent guy who has not merely admitted, but given serious credit to his XW for doing a great job raising son of MU. The guy also really loves his dad. Aw.
He may well be sitting on his dinghy (the boat, not his tuchas), waiting for an invite to return and announce triumphantly that he is loved and missed. He may be waiting for the distribution of the "Free MU!" T-shirts.
Whichever it is, I think he will return.

He came here wanting to drop the old character, and tried to ignore the continuous ragging on him, but I guess some people just couldn't let the "old" MU persona fade away and die along with the old place, and it got tiresome. Some people just kept taking cheap potshots at his character. As far as his high Karma count, I think a lot of people must have secretly liked him, but just didn't admit it openly in front of their other online friends
and by some people, you really mean 2 people.

May? Yanno, I thought he used to be a nice guy until the one too many digs at Jen and this was after he supposedly apologized. After that, not anymore.

After that, not anymore. why are you getting more offended about it than I am? It didn't even happen to you. Yeah, MU got on my nerves a lot. Yeah, he said some insensitive things, some worse than others. But some of you are really trying to put this guy's head on a pike for your own petty reasons. What satisfaction do you get? Really? Some new poster makes threats toward another regular and people don't get as upset as you get over MU making another one of his stupid jokes. There are more important things to get upset over, and if you can't think of any, you have a better life than most.

Oh, so you don't defend your "friends", Jen? I am not offended by it, I think it was rude, crass and totally beneath him. FYI, I don't put his head on a pike. I am trying to ignore him for the most part and have been for quite a while. As for the threats, I didn't see them, just heard hearsay.

It will be interesting to see who he presents himself as when he comes back. There is a reason or three he picked a persona that treats women as second class citizens. IMHO, if he really were a polar opposite in RL he wouldn't choose that kind of persona. Who is he really, don't know, not going to worry about it. Does make me think just a little of those quiet guys who go wacko and then on TV the neighbors are interviewed and they all say "He was so quiet and kept to himself. This isn't like him at all." Truthfully there always was a wacko within it just took the right circumstances to bring it out.

Sometimes. Sometimes, it's a matter of a little booze and a really good imagination.

Basically, yes. Most were eager to clean slates and make a fresh start here, but some are far more reluctant than others to let the last place (and everything that went along with it, whether good or bad) go. When you make a change in real life (like changing residences...) it's usually done to have a new start, and you leave the history of the old place behind. Something to think about.....

Mostly lurker here. I miss MU. Sure he could be obnoxious, but the plethora of personalities makes the boards interesting reading.

IRL I'm EXTREMELY shy! A shameless flirt, but shy. I'm also someone that might speak a whole 100 words a day, and that's when I'm talkative. Online I'm me, but a much more outgoing version of me.
