When I left this board yesterday, I assumed whatever transpired on the other thread was over for good. This isn't the first time Marquise has picked a fight with someone, and then tried to play nice later on. (Bipolar?) I haven't blocked Marquise - I find blocking to be the equivalent of plugging your ears and going, "Neener, neener, sticks and stones! I can't heeeeaaar you...." The funny thing is my first post on the other thread in question was a diplomatic and valid suggestion that would have stopped the fighting over a misunderstanding, and had he understood that instead of assuming I was picking on him, none of this would have happened. I never had any problem with Marquise - in fact, I thought we were on good terms (and bonded over our sadness of Destiny's Child's disbanding). And then his meltdown...
And if I really am blocked, then he won't read this post anyway, which indicates a lack of ability or willingness to reason and work things out, and that's a shame, but fine by me.
But in the off chance that he does read this, I'd like to question why he felt the need to start this thread in the first place instead of PM us, or--better yet--just dropping it. Wasn't this rift OVER? It's old news to those of us who were involved. (Well, those of us who aren't Marquise.) Is he so insecure and immature that he needs to draw more attention to himself (and thus, that thread)? Did he just need to stir more trouble by having hundreds of views from people who weren't involved?
For someone who said he was just joking, and that he wants to celebrate the diversity of the members here, he's sure shown some different colours that would suggest otherwise. For someone who said he didn't care what we thought about him and that he was having a grand old time, his insistence on dragging that baggage around to the present thread (and pre-existing ones) would be a dent in his credibility.
The difference between the four of us and Marquise? We all said we were over it. But only one person decided to block everyone (after HE went on the offensive) and start a brand new thread to announce it.
