Mike

Are we still giving Mason the benefit of the doubt? This sounds a lot like blaming the victim. “If she was murdered, maybe she deserved it.” I’m really uncomfortable with that. It’s a slippery slope to “If she was raped, maybe she deserved it.” I’m not afraid of Mason, but I’m a little afraid of Mike now.

Also, @mike, I hope you meant child…[Read more]

@mike I don’t always agree with you, but when I do, I do.

Hey @mike I respectfully understand your position on this one. You’re going to have your opinions and I’m going to have mine which is fine. IF Joyce was a horrible person and did stuff that was just unbelievably awful I get it why some folks would just want to take matter into their own hands. What seems to me the problem here is that it’s just…[Read more]

@mike This may surprise you. I AGREE with you. Buuuuttttttttttt…….

Which is why I kept my comments last night brief… I will continue to rely on my friends, hopefully we can protect one a other if we need protecting. As far as violence goes, you and I do have slightly differing opinions, but I see your point… and yeah, you know I have…[Read more]

As an intellectual concept, I hear you on the “benefit of the doubt” thing, @mike – but that take requires one to intentionally ignore a slew of other things Mason has done that give us a real sense of his intent and overall character.

These include, but are not limited to:

-Manipulating @kevin into asking Joyce to expose herself, knowing that…[Read more]

@mike It’s not Joyce’s responsibility to prove that she didn’t deserve to be murdered.

How do you know someone is a rapist, pedophile, or sadistic murderer that it is now “acceptable” to murder sadistically? Because someone accuses them of it? Because someone implies that they might have been a “bad person”? Because someone believes it very…[Read more]

I agree with @mkarrett… we can hope the child is not fully aware of everything going on.

I get what you are insinuating @mike

I just hope she hasn’t been abused in any way.

If any portion of what Mason has hinted at actually unfolded and he still has control of this child, which he seems to… this child IS being emotionally abused right now.

Holy shit @mike that is insane!!! I just hope for the kid’s sake that he/she is blissfully unaware of what exactly is going on and @coryphella is coming up with a brilliant plan.

Christ @mike. It almost makes it sound like they’re on the run. I have to trust Megan knows what she’s doing. She has to be okay. She has to.

I appreciate everything that has been said here. @russell I hope you’re right about being optimistic.

I was doing something in the kitchen and couldn’t get to my phone in time. Fuck. I am not doing well right now. She called me again. I tried calling her back and I got the message “Your call cannot be completed as dialed.” WTF is going on? I had…[Read more]

Holy shit, @mike. This is insane.

Confirmed. The car did, in fact, smell funny.

@sfire8 and @erisbonn – I was not the first person to theorize that… I think @mike was.
The thing that struck me is that it makes more sense to me NOW to consider it possible after his over-the-top dealing with her. It’s too vicious… too personal in feeling.

@larry He said “Other people’s messes, his own messes.” It could go either way. That one we can’t be sure about. I think I maybe took it as Joyce was someone else’s mess.

@russell Your optimism is refreshing, but nope. That one I’m pretty sure about.

@shaun Meh. It was a dark parking lot. I wouldn’t have thought twice about the risk.

@mike…[Read more]

Uhmmm… HUH?
As @izryn and @mike point toward… what did I miss? The Midnight Commission lives and @111error is leaving Briarberg and that decision is (rather conveniently) timed and revealed as…
well…
HUH?
apparently… even people I thought I could trust I cannot trust.
I can’t even say this is highly suspect. It’s freaking ludicrous.

When Morgan came in, it wasn’t a huge shock to me since we found the connection between TMC and Briarberg. I did get kind of sad because that was my friend in real life and in this world, I feel like he can’t be. So that was a bum out.

@mike I will forever be your friend.

Wow. Thanks to everyone for giving the recaps of their experiences.
Especially after @rizzzoooooo ‘s description of what was said near the end of the Lisa conversation, I am pondering and overthinking… as I do.
One of the things that has puzzled me overall since Chapter One of LUST is the desire to have this “Community” split apart… to turn…[Read more]

Sorry I didn’t post earlier but as soon as I got home I crashed. Okay, so….

I nailed the time bet and get the pear–I should have got a lottery ticket last night or something. Anyhow…

This whole thing left me with way more questions than answers.

@daela it was an assload of spent cold meds. Seeing that I’m in the toxicology world IRL…[Read more]

@thebuz, seriously, NO. 🙁
I just got @mike back.

I apologize for the delay. My head is spinning just trying to remember what happened and catching up on what everyone else was relating. We didn’t think it was a good idea to just post all at once or it’d be an unreliable vomitorium.

I’ll preface this by saying that, despite 4 runs through Ascension inc. The End, and The System Seminar, while…[Read more]
