Topic: Merrin here, important announcement: I'm dropping the shtick but keeping the name.
Father Merrin !u5oFWxmY7U started this discussion 5 years ago #101,365
I'm not actually a priest. Or TGComix. Or Bobby2Sox. I'm keeping the name though because I like it.
Thanks, that'll be all.

"An elevated knowledge of Catholic theology" to you apparently meaning a rudimentary grasp of its most basic tenets.

Yeah, I just figured the shtick had run its course. Like I said earlier it was never really meant for here, it was a TC thing. Pissing off the mods at Tinychan was part of the fun but I never felt comfortable playing the role here because this place is decent and the priest iteration of Merrin is kind of an all-or-nothing character. It's only funny when I'm being a full-on troll. It was amusing doing the obnoxious casuistry with the salivating pedophiles at TC but here it doesn't fit, especially with Syntax gone. I've also grown to like Svet, despite finding his politics stupid and abhorrent, and wanted to confirm his suspicions about who's behind the wind-ups.

Sometimes when the topic of "Is he really TG?" would come up on TC I'd use the search function to look up old posts of his and name-drop people he'd mentioned or refer to things he'd done. Syntax would then consult his 87 volumes of forensically-archived Tinychan posts and write a new wall of text about TGComix. It was immense fun.

Matt is incredibly easy to spot. I've outlined the litmus test before, it goes like this: "If it's dumb and obvious, it's Matt".
Matt likes to scour the length and breadth of the internet for arcane tidbits of information that he feels he can use as 'gotcha' moments to show that people are not educated in the things they claim to be educated about. Threads that open with things like "Father Merrin, is pre-marital sex a venial sin?" are precursors to him posting the article he just read about an 11th century Pope banging his unmarried sister and then issuing a papal decree to absolve himself of any guilt. People who are poorly-educated, as he is, take refuge in pedantry.

It's not "putting up" with anything. I enjoy his posts and always have. In particular, the Merrin character annoyed all the right people.
None of the bizarre anons who've repeatedly asked for OP to be banned have ever been able to state why. What rules were ever broken? I'm not trying to be disingenuous, and I don't want to derail OP's thread, but I really don't understand. How are you so upset? Can you go through it with me?

The Merrin shtick was cool I enjoyed it whether trolling it or just rapping. I will leave you with this thought. If you ever decide to change the name may I suggest Father Jethro would be a good fit.

Neither would he. He's the infamous TC Madspammer who gets himself into ludicrously obsessive 'battles' (as he thinks of them) with people. I got under his skin a while back and now he follows me around like a puppy dog. It's endearing and tragic by equal measure.

Yeah I was gonna say that. It's just "pathetic" in French. I know Latin supports the usage of an adjective without a noun in some cases, but French doesn't.

Etymonline disagrees.
pathetic (adj.)
1590s, "affecting the emotions or affections, moving, stirring" (now obsolete in this broad sense), from Middle French pathétique "moving, stirring, affecting" (16c.), from Late Latin patheticus, from Greek pathetikos "subject to feeling, sensitive, capable of emotion," from pathetos "liable to suffer," verbal adjective of pathein "to suffer" (from PIE root *kwent(h)- "to suffer").

Just before the bit about Late Latin, you'll see
> from Middle French pathétique "moving, stirring, affecting" (16c.)
The définition of the word in English has shifted since 1590, but it still entered English from French.
The modern definition of "pathétique" in French apparently includes both the old "arouses a deep feeling" as well as the contemptible sense mirroring the modern English "pathetic". I'd imagine the latter usage is more common in speech, but I couldn't claim to be certain.

Yes, and both words ultimately come from Proto-Indo-European via Latin. Your point?

Yes, that is true, but the English word 'pathetic' has not had the former meaning for quite some time, again, hence my "not really" comment.
If one uses the French word 'pathétique' in an English context, it pretty much always takes on the 'invoking emotions' meaning. Anyway, I used the word because it was what came to mind following Dave's "endearing and tragic by equal measure" description. I'm not surprised it got a hit elsewhere as a candidate for a collective noun for sycophants. It's quite fitting IMO.

You should see his Tinychan stuff.

That hysterical attempt to justify his "pathetique" erreur is a decent example of how weird he is.

That's easy, since you have repeatedly made the schoolboy error of assuming anything Matt says(or anybody else on this board for that matter) can be taken even slightly seriously. Go and reread all those idiotic Catholicism threads, e.g. "Will you perform extreme unction on me, Father?"

I actually have something I'd quite like to ask you. It was you who went hard on trying to troll The Doctor a while back, right? Could I ask, did you get much enjoyment out of it? Why'd you go for him?
Because, it really was like watching an unstoppable force fighting an immovable object. You went for him quite hard, but he was never the least bit phased by any of it.

On the contrary, I was counting on the fact that you would not be able to resist looking it up for me and trumpeting your triumph all over again (though I see you steered well clear of the ludicrous language challenge). And I was right. Thanks. That was most satisfying. The fact that 2 months on you are still taking it all so seriously and seem to be so desperate to come out on top... of Matt... well. Nuff said.
You failed to cite an example of a TC thread you think I participated in. OK, let's see... Here's a half decent conversation I once had with you. I was Anon B (only): https://tinychan.net/topic/54203

Lol, how do you keep track of all these "guys" you imagine? If anybody, the "Joshy eats peepee" guy is Matt.
Are you saying that all I have to do to become "the xyz-guy" in your head is make a reference to xyz? How on earth do you cope with reality?
> What does "Joshy eats peepee" even mean?
As far as I know, Josh was what Scatman started calling himself, and Matt used to annoy him with it (hence my comment to Anon C, who is almost certainly Matt). It seems he did this in retaliation, because although the board was called scatchan, Josh would regularly delete anything and everything to do with scat, i.e. 90% of Matt's schtick.
I think it's also a reference to peepeeandpoopoochan (yes, there really was such a place).

Don't worry, I'm doing perfectly fine, thanks. :)

It's mildly interesting to me how Minichan and Tinychan diverged, and MC ultimately did okay while TC just kinda deteriorated.

Yeah, I was surprised too. She and Svet were friends and he mentioned it recently.
In hindsight, it was telling that she would never answer any inquiries about her gender. But I can understand why a woman might keep that on the down-low on the chans.
