⭐ Merited by suchmoon (1)
I was just told over and over that I wouldn't be getting merit because of my attitude...
Who told you this?  The reason I ask is because that's generally an untrue statement--you can be contrary till your heart's content, but your contrarian thoughts had better be written in proper English.  And formatted properly.  What you wrote here is kind of a jumbled mess of words that aren't structured into sentences.  Normally this is something I'd probably just skip over.  

I had to look, because I swear I left you merit before.  I guess I didn't.  But I've left merits for people who've vehemently disagreed with me, and I have no problem doing so.  It's the scammers and shitposters who aren't going to get merited (from me).  You've already earned more merits than a lot of members of your rank, and that's because you can write English fairly well.  You just need to clean it up a little, and that's only my opinion.  You are free to do what you want and argue with whoever you want.

edit:  and I would like to know your opinion of the point I mentioned above about the guy w/ a 95 day old account w/ merit of 104...mostly for posting about the merit system over the course of 60 days...which is 1.73 merit points per day...thanks
I wasn't talking about you, and I don't know why you took this so personally.  *Oh, wait, I had to read further and recall blasting you for that quote*

What you wrote was total nonsense, and it sounded like the generic shitposts these idiots keep writing to satisfy quotas.  You'll have to excuse me if your irony/sarcasm/whatever sailed over my head, because I don't know who you are yet.  It's not the first time I've shot off my mouth without first saying hello.

I don't have an opinion about the 104-merit-guy, because I haven't looked at his profile yet.  Is there a link that I'm missing?  But I would point out that some people can be brilliant writers, like nullius, and they can earn merit very quickly.  That's super-rare, though.  More often than not, when you have a guy with that much merit and that much activity, it's a consummated merit trade.  People know how much merit is worth and they're stingy with it.  There's no way in hell that a typical shitposter is going to be given merits UNLESS he bought them or it's a friend or alt account.  That much I'm sure of.
