Subject: Bullying and harassing goodnight Mark
I am shocked at the hostility towards goodnight Mark. I’ve known Mark for over 20 years and I can say he doesn’t deserve the abuse I’m reading in this chatlist toward him. Actually, NOone deserves to be bullied on a public site such as the chatlist.
I know for a fact that Mark actually helps people at Christmas and not take it for himself as was accused.
I was one of those people years back. I was financially struggling and many times Mark had put me back on the road when my truck broke down, most of the time for free and always at the fraction of the cost it would have cost me. My tires were bald and wires were beginning to stick out. He never mentioned it too much because he knew I was already worried about a blow out. I just couldn’t afford to replace them even with used ones. At Christmas he called me and told me to stop by Baird Sales. When I did, they put 4 brand new tires on my truck. I cried the entire time they were changing them out. To this day I don’t know who bought and paid for those tires. When I can, I try to repay when Mark is searching for this or that for a needy family.
Mark’s not perfect. Neither are we. He has a huge heart for his community. If you have a problem with him, take it up with him personally and he’s the kind of guy that will bend over backwards to fix it. It feels like I’m reading harassment when dirty laundry is hung out to dry in a public forum. I’m sure we could use all that energy for a good cause rather than bringing down people you may not know or do know in a public chat. We try to take bullying out of schools. How can we when grown adults are still bullying setting examples that our children are reading in this chatlist? Please stop now!
Take your issues to the source and leave our chatlist for more positive reading. Thank you.
