Re: Dearest Jim (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate
Surely my effusive "From The Bottom Of Mark's Heart" post mortem indicates that I'm probably not the most objective judge of what is or is not strange, where matters related to Mark's death are concerned. Notwithstanding same, I don't think your having enduring thoughts or dreams about Mark is strange at all.
I'm of the belief that a person's life burns like a spiritual flame. Though the spirit gradually and ultimately consumes the body by which it is sustained, if at some point that spiritual flame commingles with and brightens the fire that burns in other people, it becomes a part of the latter's own flame. It continues to burn in those it touches and, in turn, commingles with the flames of the people they touch.
A life force is composed of energy. I think mah E=MC2 boy Einstein'll back me up on this one; energy can't be destroyed; it just converts to other forms; transfers to other places; alters the substance, structure, motion or direction of the other matter and energy that becomes a part its ongoing cause/effect domino chain. The people whose lives Mark touched are the permanent recipients of his unique spirit; they become a permanent living record of his enduring spiritual presence. How that spirit manifests itself is different with each of us. That he shows up in your dreams neither surprises me nor seems strange to me. I think I'd be more surprised if Mark didn't leave you with a lasting impression.
I'm glad you decided to fill me in about your Mark thoughts and dream, K. He continues to frequent my thoughts too. Hard_to_Please in life has become Hard_To_Decease in afterlife, eh? Here's to it, Mark-buddy...
Much Love Right Back, K,
Jim the 29th

Dearest Jim (Reply to this comment)
by kristinafh
I don't know if you keep up via alerts to your stuff, but here I am - rating your review (years later) AND leaving a comment.
Jimbo, is it just completely nuts to miss HTP? Last night, I had this dream that he was in and I kept on saying to him, Mark...Mark...is that you? He saw me across the way and we could barely make out each other. We both kept moving around the obstacles to try and get to each other - but it never happened.
Anyway...that's all for now.
Much love, KFH

Allow me to reflect ........ (Reply to this comment)
by ginzo
Hard to Please,…. Well, I’ll tell ya. I met Mark at the very beginning of both his and my days here at Epinions and we did not get off on the right foot. He was offended that I revenge rated one of his reviews. He got really offended. The problem was, it wasn’t me and I was offended!!
We all know how I get when I’m offended!
We exchanged MANY emails and after some actual tears we learned that we were making mistakes, we both had it wrong. We were both embarrassed and humble. We became good email friends and moved on to a much nicer relationship. After all that has happened in the life of Mark, I’m so glad we were able to work out the misunderstandings we were having. It says a lot about the guy Mark was.I wish i didn't have to use that word. I’m proud to say that we both trust each other and have for most of our Epinion years.
I never forget his final days and how hard it was on everyone at Epinions to come to terms what was happening to Mark. My hat goes off to 29th_candidate who became one of Marks best buddies here and through all that difficult time, Jim managed to keep us all informed through reviews, comments and emails. He shared with Marks family the love that existed and still exists today here at Epinions for HTP. You serve us well Jim.
Rest in peace Mark. We’ll never forget you! O

Although I arrived here long after Mark's passing on, I think the fact that many of us are still reading and posting on his death is a tribute to how wonderful his reviews were and how he continues to touch all our lives (however lightly) - even those who did not know him before his death.
The amount of caring that obviously went into supporting Mark and his family from the epinion community really says something about just how great the people here really are.
Thanks so much for sharing your stories and thoughts.

Hello again... (Reply to this comment)
by arielssong
It was interesting to see your new post concerning Mark. I know you must miss him. I am so sorry for your pain. He seemed very genuine and loving, like your baseball hero, just as Ken seemed perfectly wicked and witty and crass, like your rock and roll heroes. Strangely, or perhaps not so strangely, I think there is a bit of both of those things in you. My mother used to say, "With every person you meet, a little bit of them becomes a part of you." Perhaps that is why you are so genuine and loving and real, like Mark, and also why you are so rebellious and wicked and witty, like Ken. Perhaps after my knowing you, I'll be both a little more loving, as well as a bit more wicked (although if I may say so myself, I have always been witty). ;-)
I love and miss you, my Deviant Robin Hood (i.e., lovable rogue),
Ariel

...even now, almost two years later.
I re-read this wonderful tribute in response to sleeper54's urging (in his "Read this now!" comment-off).
Thanks, Jim, for chronicling all this for us. Mark was One of a Kind.

Oh, Jim~~~ (Reply to this comment)
by Mimi369
I am not quite sure why or how, but I ended up reading this blessed tribute to dear Mark tonight!
My husband came into the living room and caught me reading and sobbing. Of course, when he asked "what's wrong, hon?", he never suspected that I was crying over the death of a friend from the internet.
Well, I just finished reading the many, many comments and I was encouraged by my God to express my thoughts. Hopefully, I can quietly grieve, then move on.
During my two year absence from this site, I missed a great deal, apparently. Discovering, in a most shocking way that Mark had died threw me into a real tizzy. I was still very, very depressed and this horrible news really affected me.
I miss him so much!! I believe that had I been an active member at the time of Mark's passing, I would have ended up totally crushed and possibly hospitalized. I think that God wanted me strong enough to handle it, thus, my just reading this now.
I must stop now...

by stellarsight
...but I certainly wish I did. From what I have read about him in your review and in this comment section, he was a beloved member of this site as well as a caring person and he is missed dearly. 29th, I thank you for insight on Mark, and to all of those who knew him, I am very sorry for your loss. Just remember: he's in a better place now.
You're straight to the top of my WOT,

Ode to someone I did not know... (Reply to this comment)
by jealusie
After reading Jim's article and everyone's responses, I began thinking deeply (as I sometimes do) and I just had to get some things out of my head. I hope you all don't mind me posting this here in memory of Hard_To_Please.
Like many of you, I did not know HTP, but having these thoughts in my head doesn't help without sharing them.
However, I do not want anyone to think that I wish to have sympathy for some of the things I am about to mention...this is totally about HTP and what I've read about him and how it all made me feel.
Here goes nothing:
Just Because
I’m the one who doesn’t want to be alive
All the while he’s struggling not to die.
So I allow myself a moment
To feel foolish and cry
Over someone I’ve never met
In my entire life.
Given the choice,
He’d gladly have taken
The years remaining for me.
Not just to stay alive,
But to save me from my misery.
His friends and family remember
a man of love and gratitude,
who never complained of himself,
and always had a good attitude.
That’s what we should all aspire to be
Not because it is right or nice…
Just because.
~~~~~~
Incase anyone doesn't understand my poetry (very few do) I am speaking mainly about how HTP didn't want to be remembered (therefore, didn't act as such) as "that dude with cancer". He wanted to be remembered for other things, more important things. He accomplished that, for sure. Just from what his family and friends have said about him, I take him as the type of guy that would give you the shirt off his back in the dead of winter. I have no doubt that is true.
Blessings to you Mark and your family. I wish I could have met you while you were here, but I'm sure I'll get my chance later :o)

Just returned from your profile page. I see you haven't written anything yet, and there's no e-mail address for you--yet, what you've written in this one comment has made you worthy of my WOT, for whatever that's worth to you.
I came here again after being notified by e-mail that a new comment had been added (yours). I was also negatively-amazed that some sort of free-for-all had been started here in the comment section of this heartfelt tribute, and I, for one, appreciate your positive words!!!
Welcome to Epinions.com!!!

Friend for Friend (Reply to this comment)
by mjmd
This unusual situation has many meanings. Mark is someone that I do not know, because I am a new member to this group. The calm and peaceful manner used to describe Mark's passing is very noteworthy. More than noteworthy can be visually seen inside the mind of the candidate. One promise, one completion of acknowledgement, and an essay in form that can only be truly felt inside the soul of the reader. Whether or not you knew Mark, the description of true, heartfelt comments that were written by his devoted friend is superlative. My request is that you say a prayer for Mark's Mom and Dad. Their loss of Mark will never be forgotten. The son they raised was the love of their hearts. The void created with Mark's passing can only be filled with love and understanding, and memories of Mark's love for his ability to inspire and communicate integrity to everyone.

by goodluckcharm
I already rated your review about Mark a while ago.
I have read some of Mark's reviews and feel very bad about his passing last year. I get vibes that he is ok where he is though. I know several people left the site when he died. Someone even posted a picture of him. Can you leave me a comment about if I can still send remebrances to his family or will it bring up pain to them?

I have been gone for so long I had no idea. Needless to say I have been in tears for an hour. The first thing I do when I come to Epinions is go straight to Marks page. Obviously the last time was well over a year ago. Now today I come to see what humorous tidbits I have missed and I find out our "funnyman" has passed away.
Although I am no longer a full fledged member of Epinions, I will miss just knowing he is here to make me laugh. He always made me almost "urinate" in my pants.
Thanks for your wonderful letter on his behalf. You did him proud!

by 29th_Candidate
Elsa, John & Arathi--
My apologies for the lateness of my response to your comments. My reason for stopping in here is the same as yours: to acknowledge someone who was a really great guy. Though Mark is gone, his spirit still lives and influences a lot of people; both those of us who were lucky enough to get to know him before he passed on, and those who learn of him afterwards, by way of his review archive, his sitewide comments and by the third party references of his family, friends and acquaintances. On behalf of Mark, I thank the three of you for stopping by. Your thoughtfulness was never lost on Mark while he was alive; I doubt it's lost on him now.
Best Wishes,
jim

Back again (Reply to this comment)
by MrReEvolution
I just came back to the Epinions community after being away since early August of 2001. Reading this, plus seeing Mark's epitaph on his profile felt to me like discovering that a friend from High School had died sometime after you had graduated and moved away.
I did not know Mark very well. However, when I was starting out, he was one of the few higher rated reviewers on the site that helped out me out, giving me advice on how to succeed within this virtual community. A small thing, but something that seemed to be Mark's forte in everything in his life, great and minute.
Thanks for these contributions, Jim, even if this is coming about eight months after the event that caused all of this to happen. Take care.
Pleasant sailing in the skies beyond this life, Mark.

Who knows why (Reply to this comment)
by elsa70
I came back to read this review again, 6 months after I'd read it the first time.
Guess it was so inspirational and touching I just felt the need to read it all over again.
I joined Epinions after Mark left. I got acquainted with his writing only, and only after reading your tribute.
I'm sure many others followed my same beeline and got to know and appreciate HtP because of you. And I'm sure Mark, from wherever he is right now, must be nodding in approval. HtP must be very pleased with having you as a friend.

by arathi
and I am inconsolably sobbing, after reading your tribute to Mark, and his message to all of us.
Please accept my condolences, though they come a little late. But I got to know about HTP only after reading this.
To quote "The Bhagvad Geeta"(an ancient Indian text)
"It (the Self ) is never born, nor does It ever die, nor, having once been, does it again cease to be. Unborn, eternal, permanent and primeval, it is not slain when the body is slain."
I hope these words bring you some comfort.
Sincerely,

"I'm very sorry for your loss, but please, please use a few periods. I counted one sentence at 330 words! There is such a thing as using too many adjectives too. I am not a talented writer by any standard, and am not a big reader either, but sentences that have more than a few commas in them are just unreadable.... I'm just asking for a few periods, maybe even snazz it up with exclamation points, i don't care. Just a few pauses, please!!
Thank you for sharing, with your own individual style and in your own personally-preferred manner of expressing it, your unique opinion and original perspective, regarding my own very personal, uniquely-expressed, if publicly-shared, communication, jimblakey. I suppose both of our messages; --my tribute to Mark and your critcism of it, stand as indisputable proof that, ultimately, the goal of personal expression is neither to please those to whom it is expressed, nor to live up to/sink down to that recipient group's individual standards. Its goal is simply to communicate ideas in a manner and to a degree that satisfies the communicator. Since I am exceedingly satisfied with the manner of expression and content of my communication, I can assure you, jimblakey, your odds of seeing Mark rise up from his grave to write his own tribute, are substantially less astronomical and incalculable than the odds of my ever changing or altering this tribute based on your questionable assessment of its validity or merits. You're as welcome as anybody else is who downloads it, then puts it on their dartboard and peppers it with "periods" to their heart's content, but the last period you're going to see written by me, motivated by your comment, is this one"."

Re: Re: Get a life, you pathetic.... (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate
Petra; Snake',
Nice to catch up with you both here. My apologies for the "bar-room brawl," (hey, at least it was a virtual one; the real-life ones raise havoc w/ my campaign folks.)
I was actually going to just pass over this upstart's flame, (I hate to pick on such obvious lightweights, and this little pantywaist didn't say anything that wasn't more insulting to himself than it was to me,) but I thought about Mark, and what his call would have been. Mark had a fiery temper, and on more than one occasion, called me up to tell me "so-&-so had flamed me," and "what was I going to do about it?" I was genuinely touched that he would feel such genuine indignation, and told him so. He responded by saying something like: "Indignation, nothin'! I just like to laugh at your responses!" I replied, "Well that's real good, mthrfckr, because based on that smart-ass little response of yours, your going to be doing a lot of laughing this phonecall!"
He knew I knew he was kidding; that he genuinely WAS indignant, and wanted to respond to the flame himself. He seemed genuinely surprised that I took them (flames) so lightly. I told him that in New York, (where I'm originally from,) we measure our success by how many enemies we have. Besides, if I were to respond to all the flames I get in just one day (while in court litigating, w/ my political activities, etc.,) I would end up doing nothing but flamethrowing.
"On the other hand," I told him, "I get a very itchy trigger-finger when I encounter some fool picking on, or flaming, friends or family members; particularly ones that can't fight back, for one reason or another." So when Mr. Jack-Ass, for all his unworthiness as a combatant, didn't show the common sense, decorum or dignity to keep his filth outside of Mark's (this) comment section, it was a given that I paint the commentary walls with this fool's innards. As far as I'm concerned, Mark fulfilled all three categories (at the beginning of this paragraph, i.e., friend, family and unable to respond for himself.)
Anyway, Petra, Snake', Thanks For Your Comments, Shared Indignation, And For Inadvertently Inspiring Today's "HTP Anecdote."
Cheers--

Defiant of words (Reply to this comment)
by snakeayez
There are those moments and events of life, and the constant carnival of the human spirit, which defy and baffle those of us whom use, or at least pretend to use, words as our means of communication and expression to the world. I read the majority of your words Jim, I shall print and read the rest, far away from the dim light of this monitor, and in the peaceful and innocent facade of reality that we all wander around in. The words that I did read were honest, heartfelt, and made me both feel as I knew him, and I wish that I had. His soul and spirit will live on through each and every one who allows it to, and your words help to do that as well. I cannot even begin to imagine what it took to write these things, but also know that it is unimaginable not to have. My words cannot even begin to scratch the surface, so I just say thank you, bravo, good work, and keep it all going as you always do. Your words to me on my reviews have been inspirational, and your quality and talent, both in writing, and humanity, has never shown brighter
(and as for Buford..err, Mr Just-Kiss-My-A$$, I shall not tread on Jim's words, as they have thoroughly outclassed you, and sent you scurrying to your keeper for a decoder ring, a flashlight, and a clue, suffice to say, you have shown what a clueless soul you are, and why evolution sometimes makes mistakes)

Re: Get a life, you pathetic.... (Reply to this comment)

You miserable little troll.... okay okay, I know, little and troll is redundant since troll already implies little ... oh, wait, Mr. Justice would never have noticed himself. Oh well. He's learned something now.
29th, I have to disagree with you. There's some much more imaginative things Mr. Monkey can do with his bananas. (Oh my, I just insulted everyone on this site who uses the word "monkey" in their name by comparing him to this fruitcake.)
I must disagree with you once more, 29th. If you think this dimwit does not understand the meaning of this review, you are wrong. The stilted and carefully crafted while still incessantly incoherent and unintelligible ranting he put on here as well as his profile page suggests that this is nothing but a second account by someone who is too much of a coward to snivel on this tribute to HTP under his real account name.
Frankly, this just screams Buford and the likes.
Whoever you annoyed around this site shows us that he's too yellow to come out and speak up with his real name because he covets his 5 cents a month income share too much. Probably hoping if he collects his income share a little longer, he might just be able to buy a backbone with it.
If this was the tribute of anybody else, our little "loser community" would probably be quiet. But anybody screwing around on the 'Dude's' memory won't last long, which is exactly why you opted to open your little second account and pretend to be little Endicott.
Now scamper off to my reviews, lift your hindleg and piddle your little NH on everything so you can sleep better tonight.
29th gave us something from the bottom of Mark's heart. Mr.Justice gave us something from the bottom of Mark's kitty's litter box. Let's just call it a continuation of the tribute.

Re: Get a life, you pathetic.... (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate
My Dear Mr.Just-An-Ass,
You say you "[...found (your) way to Epinions by way of Google,]" but you make plain by the abysmal writing sample provided on your behalf, most likely by your supervising zoo-keeper or circus trainer, that your lethargic brain would be forced to compromise your body's involuntary motor functions just to generate the intellect you'd require to find your feeding trough unassisted by your trainer's gentle leash-tugs and prodding-stick pokes. Find your way to epinions by way of Google? Hah! That's funny. Nice try... (--I mean for you.)
["...I was simply looking for advice on buying a computer for my mother,..."]
By your saying you were "simply looking...," considering that it defies logic that you'd be capable of "looking" in any other manner, or at all, you'd be well-advised to ask a trainer less prone to being redundant, to type your next set of commentary grunts into english.
As far as your "[...looking for advice on buying a computer...]" goes, why start so small? Even your keeper could have told you what you wanted to know; specifically, that you have to find some human who you can bribe with the bananas your keepers feed you, to take you to a computer store, you then, point at the computer you like, after which your trainer pays for it. He'll probably require you to reimburse him with your cooperative behavior and submissive attitude when they begin; on second thought, when they continue their experimental drug tests on you, but that's another whole discussion.
While we're on the subject of ["...buying a computer for my mother...,"] why not instead, do something for your mother she'd REALLY benefit from, like permanently eliminate the sole source of the limitless shame and embarrassment she currently endures? Hell, Mr.Just-Puss, I'll even write the suicide note for you... .
["...and found this chump "the 29th Candidate's" review of an advertisement of the iMac instead."]
"Chump, eh? I was wondering what the particular grunt was, that creatures of your laughably diminutive stature, and at your primitive stage of the evolutionary scale, use to pay homage to their god-like superiors and owners.
["...As I navigated my way through the site, I found some very helpful content."]
Really. I was unaware that this site performed miracles of that scale. I'm pretty sure that only the good Lord himself could provide a hopeless loser like yourself, with the life you so obviously lack. Since I'm pretty sure the site doesn't provide euthanasia-assistance related information, I can't imagine how anything else this, or any site, for that matter, could provide you w/ the variety and magnitude of help YOU require.
"[...HOWEVER, I also found a bunch of crap and was particularly dismayed that someone who has provided a handful of actual content on products had something like 17K people reading his [irrational] nonsense!"]
Yeah. Kinda breaks you up, doesn't it? :::sniffle:::
Wow. "Irrational nonsense." --Hee, hee... Keep worshipping, slave.
You honor me, Mr.Just-An-Ass. When so prolific a purveyor of "Irrational nonsense" as yourself, claims that I am a producer of it, then, logically speaking, I'm in damn good shape.
You, on the other hand...
["...So I am committed..."]
Well, that explains a whole bunch of things. You be sure and have your transcriber leave me the address of the state mental facility where you are being treated, and the room number of your padded cell, so I can send you a "Get Sane Soon" card, 'kay? Don't get your hopes up though, it's pretty apparent you've got the better part of your treatment ahead of you.
"...to return to Epinions from time to time..."
You should have your keepers send me a schedule of the days/times they let you out of your cage and off your leash, so I can harness you and employ your particular talents where they could be used to their fullest potential; just think how happy my horses would be with you making their stables all fresh-smelling and sparkly clean.
["...to rate bad content poorly..."]
I truly admire your consistency, Mr. Ass-Kiss. Is there anything you don't do "poorly?" Don't feel too badly; epinions has many "poor-raters" to keep your incompetent-self company.
["...so that innocent shoppers like myself..."}
"Innocent?" I think the word you were looking for is "clueless."
["...are protected from the rants of people (like the 29th Candidate)..."]
Perhaps, but unfortunately for you, it leaves your biggest problem still unaddressed: yourself. Who will protect you from yourself? (Perhaps the more relevant question would be: "Who would WANT to?")
["...that have nothing better to do than to hang out with a bunch of other losers..."]
So uhhhmm, what was it you said you were doing here in the first place, Mr. Just-A-Ditz? I didn't seem to catch it... Oh yes, of course: "[...looking for advice on buying a computer...]" in the comment section of an editorial tribute to a deceased epinions member. Imagine that. It's so uncommonly generous of you; a person of such obvious stature and importance, to be hanging out with us "bunch of losers," and lavishing us with what scarce few seconds of private time ALL those "better" things you have to do, and all those "non-losers" with whom you have to do them, must leave you...
Jeez, could there be anything MORE pathetic than a "loser"-worshipper, like yourself, with nothing better to do with his wasted life, than to hang out in alleged "losers'" comment sections and make even the worst of them seem, in comparison to him, like winners? Actually, just one "look" at YOU tells me there IS: --being exposed as a loser, while getting bitch-slapped into a stuttering stupor by your exposer, in that exposer's comment section.
Boy, Ms.Just-piss, you are one, sorry-lookin' mess...
When you're finished picking yourself and your teeth up from the commentary floor, and while you're hopelessly trying to think of a response with even a fraction of the knockdown power of those I've, here, used to make you into my docile bitch-slave, why don't you finish shoveling the shit out of the horse stables; the familiar stench should help bring you back to your non-senses...
["...Beware merchants of hollow ideologies and those who use the vehicle of product reviews for their excess leisure time..."]
Jeez. That verbal beating I threw you, must have really rung your bells (and I was doing my best to pull my punches-- Sheesh!;) this last cornball attempt at a comic book speech of yours, makes no sense at all...
Do you know what a "merchant" is? "Webster's New Collegiate" has volunteered to give you a clue:
"Merchant: 1: A buyer and seller of commodities for profit: TRADER 2: The operator of a retail business: STOREKEEPER"
You may have noticed that people who fit the definition generously provided for you, generally will not be found "hanging out," as you do, in these parts. If you want to address "merchants," you should try doing what we humans do when we want to address them: go to a store or a mall. This place is neither.
Next part: "hollow ideologies"
How many storekeepers do you know that make a profit selling "hollow ideologies?"
I think you see what I mean.
Please. It's not fun using you as my personal punching-bag if I think you're too "punchy" to properly feel it when I deck you.
Look at the rest of this embarrassingly incoherent mess you've typed here:
["...write reviews on products and services that people other than yourselves really care about. For MrJustice will visit from time to time and monitor your pathetic community to remind you that the Google search (and hopefully this site) is a place for getting useful information -- take your mindless banter to GeoCities."]
With your apparent communication impediment; this habit you have of "speaking in tongues," any site that can string together two or more coherent sentences is (for you) a ["...place for getting useful information..."]
As you and your many superiors here, can plainly see, the only "mindless banter" here is yours. Don't bother taking it to GeoCities, though, they'll think your just as much of a horse's ass as everyone here does.
Go back to your cage. Tell your keepers I'll only accept possession of you if they repair the massive brain damage they neglected to tell me you've sustained. What entertainment value did they think you could possibly provide since you do so much irreparable damage to yourself with your inane comments, that you deprive responders from savoring that pleasure for themselves?
Don't feel badly, your brain damage is a common affliction sustained by all the arrogant piss-ants who, like yourself, regularly get the shit knocked out of them because, like you, they so desperately need the "wake-up call" it provides them (i.e., the ones who survive them.) They, like you, believe, for some strange reason, that they themselves are the only ones who are able to see themselves for the losers they are. The pain you are currently reeling in, is your long-overdue introduction to the truth. Savor it. You never know when the next one, is going to be your last one.
Now go play w/ those imaginary hordes of "non-loser" friends that await your triumphant return to that imaginary world where you are a person of such obvious stature and importance. Do us all a big favor: spare us the generosity of your lavishing us with those scarce few seconds of private time ALL those "better" things you have to do, leave you.
Or I might get bored w/ toying around w/ you, and squash you like the bug that you are...
