Probably got fed up with all the antics and criticism ..... it's a dayum shame !!!

I like Mac...He was a walking encyclopedia of MM knowledge and that is a natural resource that is irreplacable...Loosing that in itself is a shame...I will not miss my posts being deleted by him acting if he were the KGB in Russia...

You think someone with as much enthusiasm for the Marauder and this board would just simply pack up and go quietly into the night without a posting a reason.

True on all three points. Additionally, I do not miss "wolf in sheeps clothing" condesending comments he's made. Like everyone, you have to take the good with the bad. With him, there is more good than bad.

He should just buy Zacks new Trilogy and install it on his #3 Marauder. Then he should kick back with a tall glass of holiday cheer Kool-Aid and be happy. :coolman:

A Christmas Cop Story

This article appeared in the Rockville Centre Herald. The writer is a former Police officer and village resident.

In 1974 when I first joined the police department, I knew there would be special occasions my family would spend without me.

Knowing that fact didn't make the task any easier. The celebrations I missed those first year's depressed me and sometimes

made me feel bitter. Working on Christmas Eve was always the worst. On Christmas Eve in 1977, I learned that blessing can

come disguised as misfortune, and honor is more than just a word.

I was riding one man patrol on the 4 x 12 shift. The night was cold. Everywhere I looked I saw reminders of the holiday; families

packing their cars with presents, beautifully decorated trees in living room windows and roofs adorned with tiny sleighs. I all added

to my holiday funk. The evening had been relatively quiet; there were calls for barking dogs and a residential false burglar alarm.

There was nothing to make the night pass any quicker. I thought of my own family and sunk further into depression.

Shortly after 2200 hours I got a radio call to the home of an elderly, terminally ill, man. I parked my patrol car in front of a simple

cape cod style home. First aid kit in hand, I walked up the short path to the front door. As I approached, a woman who seemed

to be about 80 years old opened the door. He's in here she said, leading me to a back bedroom.

We passed through a living room that was furnished in a style I had come to associate with older people. The sofa has a afghan

blanket d***** over it's back and a dark, solid queen Anne chair say next to a unused fireplace. The mantle was cluttered with an

eccentric mix of several photos, some ceramic figurines and an antique clock. A floor lamp provided soft lighting.

We entered a small bedroom where a frail looking man lay in bed with a blanket pulled up to his chin. He wore a blank stare on his

ashen, skeletal face. His breathing was shallow and labored. He was barely alive. The trappings of illness were all around his bed.

The nightstand was littered with a large number of pill vials. An oxygen bottle stood nearby. Its plastic hose, with face mask attached

rested on the blanket.

I asked the old woman why she called the police. She simply shrugged and nodded sadly toward her husband, indicating it was his

request. I looked at him and he stared intently into my eyes. He seemed relaxed now. I didn't understand the suddenly calm expression

on his face.

I looked around the room again. A dresser stood along the wall to the left of the bed. On it was the usual memorabilia: ornate perfume

bottles, a white porcelain pin case, and a wooden jewelry case. There were also several photos in simple frames. One caught my eye and

I walked closer to the dresser for a closer look. The picture showed a young man dressed in a police uniform. It was unmistakably a photo

of the man in bed. I knew then why I was there.

I looked at the old man and he motioned with his hand toward the side of the bed. I walked over and stood beside him. He slid a thin arm

from under the covers and took my hand. Soon, I felt his hand go limp, I looked at his face. There was no fear there. I saw only peace.

He knew he was dying; he was aware his time was very near. I know now that he was afraid of what was about to happen and he wanted

the protection of a fellow cop on his journey. A caring God had seen to it that his child would be delivered safely to him. The honor of being

his escort fell to me.

When I left at the end of my tour that night, the temperature had seemed to have risen considerably, and all the holiday displays I a saw on the
way home made me smile. I no longer feel sorry for myself for having to work on Christmas Eve.

I have chosen an honorable profession. I pray that when it's my turn to leave this world here will be a cop there to hold my hand and remind me
that I have nothing to fear.

I wish all my brother's and sister's who have to work this Christmas Eve all the Joy and warmth of the Season.

Mac left because a group of people would not let things settled down around here and they to keep pushing his buttons. Now most of those have left to another site where they still mock him. Mac was a little heavy handed, but he did what he thought was the best for the site.

For all those here that criticized him and are now wondering where he is, just think to yourselves how you could have better worded your thoughts. Mac's absense is a lost to this community.

I am glad that most the whinners and trouble makers have left this site and hope they stay away.

[gja]

His last post was 11/28, make of it what you will.
That's heading on a month. My guess is Mac "packed it in and called it quits".

[Leadfoot281]

As I understand it, Sgt Mac left due to a change in his work hours/duties.

I have absolutely no reason to believe other wise. If he did leave due to being tired of all the whinning I wouldn't hold it against him though 'cause it does get old, fast.

Before anyone acuses me of brown nosing, let me add this; I've never had a post deleted.

Maybe that's because I believe any arguement/beef/feud/fight that's not settled face to face, in person, is just plain yellow.

Know the expression, WWJD? Well, forget that! Try this out;WWDHD? (What Would Doc Holiday Do?).

[Blackened300a]

Wow!! almost a deletion record!!!

If Mac had a change of hours and duties, It still wouldnt prevent him from logging on for a few minutes during his day

There have been a few threads started asking where he is and what happened.
He threw his weight around here and offered advice when he could. You think out of common courtesy he would post one last time as a farewell or a give a explanation.

True but if he did, it would just be immediately cut and pasted somewhere else, then ripped to shreds.
Maybe he just had enough?

[LILALLEYKATT]

I think the some of the vendors realized his overzealous triggerfinger deletions was starting to affect their bottom line and they asked him to stop deleting posts and he got pissed and left end of story...

[Bigdogjim]

Wow!! almost a deletion record!!!

I really did not know that there was a "record" Is there some group that keeps these records? Any post delete was just off topic, just like this is the thread title is Where's Mac. We are not conspiring to do anything. The thread is open for posting.

[Dennis Reinhart]

I have watched this thread for over a week now, I have seen it go up and down, I have watched the comments, and yes the thread deletions when its drifted way off topic. I have a simple question, what business is it for any one of us to question where Mac is or why he has not posted recently, its not mine for sure, the person that needs to answer this is Mac, and when he deems it appropriate I am sure he will let all of us know.

God broke the mold when he made Mac, his distinguished writing style is unique to only him, he could write a post, and any one could put there name on it, and all of us would know it was Mac, he has been severely at times criticized for his up front no hold barred style, and then he quits posting and god forbid, that starts as much controversy as some of his comments. This is a great site we have so much camaraderie when we all get together, and yet we fight over such trivial matters, but yes that is what makes this club so unique.

I hope every one has a safe and Happy New years, lets focus on the new year and this club, and look forward to new events and improving this great car club.

He hasn't returned my call, but I'll make a "best guess"... With all the goings on here, he just decided to take a break from mm.net for awhile. He did it once before but came back after a few weeks when things had settled down. Hope things are settling down enough for him to return soon.

[DEFYANT]

Mac is a big boy. He does not owe anyone here an explanation. The fact that his online buddies have not reported back that there's been an accident is good enough.

Before we get to far down this road, lets try the direct approach? After all, straight answers come straight from the source, eh?

Better yet, do one of my favorite things and do a little OTR right to my door step. There will be a cold beer and a warm hand shake for you here, K?

Oh come now. Of multitude of of measures and degrees of how we relate to and judge one another in person or via the Internet, there is the scale of popularity.

On one end, the popular and beloved followed by many and highly admired. On the other, the infamous and loathed reviled by many and generally distained.

Where someone falls on this scale is not a universal constant but rather dynamic based upon the individual assessing someone. Even then, there is a range that one exists at on this scale.

People become more divided about a persons beloved/loathed status when the subject has a very strong and/or charismatic personality or behaviors that are displayed with consistency and great frequency.

So these people polarize those around them. Some see them as great good and downplay or deny their flaws. Others revile them and hold them as an example of dark malice. There are realities, however, but they are largely ignored. History is replete with people of great evil and malice that have astonishing large followings and the world is full of near-angelic people who go largely ignored (and the opposite of both of these as well).

These people, those that create a very strong polarizing effect on others who are exposed to them a lot, I sometimes refer to as cogniscenti and groups of them as illuminati. The individuals are essentially superstars (famous or infamous depending on your opinion) and when like minded groups of them converge regularly you have a strong, tight, social clique that provokes an even greater sense of admiration or revulsion (depending again where they fall on your 'scale of popularity').

The cogniscenti and illuminati have followers, naturally, that are not actually a part of the illuminati but being big fans applaude and celibrate the cogniscenti and appreciate any attention they can get from them. The reverse is true for them as well, because being a cogniscenti is socially polarizing, there is almost universally others who literally dispise them and rejoice in their flaws.

Granted, I am talking about the extremes here. Not everyone lavishes adoration or revulsion to the exclusion of reason but it's a matter of degree that runs on it's own scale.

Most really are not perceived in these extremes and of those, not all are variably enamored with the cogniscenti/illuminati. There are many more middle scale folks and the more of them there are the wider the scale and the more extreme each end becomes.

Eventually there is a break or division generally lead by the illuminati perceived at opposite ends of the scale. One end fractionalizes and draws away their closest fans and a few more distant fans and creates a new social group and starts the process over again.

All of that said, I would have to say that Mac was far more polarizing than TTA. Much as his revilers would probably disagree (as I have explained they might), he, insofar as mm.net goes, is a cogniscenti. As such, Mac is missed more (at least by frequency of mention) by those he strongly polarizes (as evidenced by this and other threads).

Thanks. Good ol' /Steve. Always wise



An interesting side note: this isn't the same forum I used to post on for years, and I've been doing a lot of reading over the past 48 hours on both sites. Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

Good to see he's still around, and his hellish journey with Ford is over. Any problem ever reported with a Marauder, he had it.

I got a little concerned when I saw what could have been a Marauder wheel under the rubble of a collapsed bridge in his area this past summer. But his surname was not on the list of casualties.

Thanks for the link.

I have somewhat commandeered and skewed the words meaning some, but hey, screw Merriam-Webster (mostly Merriam, stuck up jerk).

For the record, Mac is well. We speak almost every day and get together in the garage every weekend.
Why he chooses not to return phone calls is not my business, amongst other things. That is probably the reason we have remained good friends.

Thanks Zack!!:beer:

That's really all I wanted to hear when I started this one??:rolleyes:

Tell Mac hello for me when you see him.....I look forward to his return if and when he decides to come back!!:dunno:

Thanks Zack.

Mac is well. That's all I need.

Just wondering out loud, but /steve aka:TripleTransAm hasn't posted in quite some time, but him not posting hasn't stirred up the kind of attention that Mac not posting has. I have to ask myself "Why?"
