Death Wish

Even though I consider Mike a brother, I have pretty much stayed out of the ongoing virtual battles with  Kerodin for the same reason I let men settle their own fights. But, as I will in real life, I do get involved when someone else jumps in, at which point, friends enter the fray.

That's why I was not going to give a link to the latest on SSI, that is, until this comment showed up:


Y'know, Sparky, what we all intuitively know has been pretty well corroborated: internet trolls are sadists and psychopaths. Further documentation shows many are infiltrators and disruptors serving the agenda of enemies. Look at you, hoping a person struggling with cancer goes terminal.  What a demented and despicable loser you are -- that and a coward, for doing it anonymously.

As we're known by the company we keep, it certainly does not reflect well for those on the side of the argument you purport to ally yourself with. Were I part of that faction, I would repudiate and condemn you, and if I knew, let everyone else know who you are and publicly disassociate myself from you.

The only positive out of this is that no one so twisted in hatred can possibly be happy and whole, and have love in his life. Which means you know that you're a contemptible loser, and have to live with it and seethe in it. No wonder you rage so against those who do not share your self-imposed defects.

When Mike dies, as we all will, good men will mourn his passing and continue to benefit from his legacy. When you go, of the few who are even aware of it, the prevailing sentiment will no doubt be "Who cares? The guy was a real asshole."

I saw that comment and wondered what kind of asshole says something like that in the first place,and if they really feel that way-why not post using their real name?
I stayed out of the latest drama involving Kerodin and Wirecutter on Knuckledraggin and WRSA because I don't know either of them personally,and it's not my fight,nor is the Kerodin/Mike V.fight.
None of it does any good for anyone,what it does do is make anyone who claims to be a part of the III% look bad.
Wishing someone who has cancer a painful death crosses a line,it's something you just do not do-if you don't like Mike V.fine,don't read anything he writes,don't go to hear his speeches,and stay off of his site.
I read a lot,I visit a lot of sites,and Sipsey Street was the first site I read anything about the III% on,as I'm sure is true for many people.
What is not needed is a bunch of infighting/arguing-now is when people who value our rights and freedom need to stick together.
I will say the the apology to Mike,and his response showed that both guys decided to be men,and take the moral high ground.
That's what adults are supposed to do.

Mr. Codrea. Thank you for posting this. I have never commented on your site, nor Mike's. I thought about saying something about 'sparky', the slug slim that he is. But just thanks.

It like when I hear about what Jimmy Carter is going through... I feel awful for him, but he has had a long, and hopefully fulfilling life. He has done some good things for sure, but I can't stand his politics. So what? Have a place in your heart for everyone.

Thank you, David, for such a great response to Mike's antagonist. It was right on point and also made me and my wife laugh. Thanks!
