Ask Merckxe525 aka Dear Abby

[pumpdog20]

This is going to turn into a food thread now, isn't it?

 

[MacIrish75]

tbh what a mod could do if they had the time is just delete literally every post in this thread that aren’t Q&As directly from Merck or Bua so that we have all the receipts and don’t have to go wading through all the muck to find them.

Time will reveal how good the info was, but I know I’m interested in seeing how accurate this all was.

I thought this thread was great and I learned a lot and had a couple of questions answered in great detail and I appreciate it. I can’t believe how quickly some guys turned on our guys when the fun started. Never turn on the family. Bunch of fucking Fredos in here when it came to a little insider info. Rats I say, Rats!!! IE for life baby!!

Fredo was smart.
He said so himself. The man just needed a little respect.

I'm smart! I can do things! 😂😂😂

We should organize our questions to Mercke ahead of posting in this thread. Every day in a pre-Mercke thread we create, we compile a list of member questions, stack order them on priority, and then ask him in one post on the Mercke thread (this thread).

This would save him tons of scrolling/responding time and probably keep him interested in feeding us peasants a bit longer lol.

Alright, been gone a few days working on the pre-Mercke thread. What forum should I post it to?

 

[Irish#1]

I've been thinking quite a bit today:

It's substantially more enjoyable to interact with all of you, than it is to interact with most on 247. I'm considering moving my posts entirely over here, long-term.

I was on On3 for a short period of time, but I left after being questioned repeatedly. A few people on there were pretty ridiculous with me.

I'll just leave this here.

 

[Irish#1]

You knew it would end this way the moment everyone started unloading every question that was ever in their head. It was crazy. All of a sudden it was very un-IE like. I personally loved the patience and information Merk and Bua showed. I don't know why it couldn't be like every other insider in the past that could come by and give us info when they had it, but it got out of control quickly. He lasted much longer than I thought he would once the crazy questions kept coming right and left. Many of the questions were solid, but there were some that felt like people were just trying to come up with questions just to ask questions. That would be exhausting to sit and continually answer every random thought people had. Especially if he had health issues and had loved ones with health issues. I feel like if we had been like normal IE and were our cool selves, he would still be here. No offense intended, but instantly we turned into teenage girls around a boy band. If we were just our normal cool selves, we could bring him in and treat him like everyone else. Bummer to be without the inside info. I appreciate what I did learn. Still love you all.

Early on in this thread I had the same feeling and exchanged a few DM's with Merck encouraging him to hang in there because like you, I thought we were overwhelming him at times.

Funny, because I thought the same thing about girls with boy bands, except I thought of The Beatles.

 

[GATTACA!]

And let's be real people went nuts with the questions and they were all incredibly repetitive especially on nil I get why he bounced

 

[GATTACA!]

What are we supposed to do? Go back to LAX being our insider??

 

[BeauBenken]

Deleted the posts of Bobby and Bua going back and forth on Loy. It's a dead horse fellas.

 

[tko]

Circling the drain in here.

 

[OhioIrish]

Maybe next time don’t give a guy his own thread, it’s easy to see why it became overwhelming. He couldn’t just enjoy IE for what it is . . . a cesspool of high anxiety nerds and frustrated former athletes.

LAX has been conspicuously absent lately…

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I blame all of you.

When someone with answers walks in the door, you don't repeatedly ask how to make a PB&J.

You shut the hell up and you listen. Maybe you throw a question out once/month to gain insight into something previously unasked.

 

[IrishAttorney]

I am going to miss Merck. In my opinion, he added value to this board.

 

[FU BK]

Holy cow....can the season start already?

 

[RDU Irish]

I blame all of you.

When someone with answers walks in the door, you don't repeatedly ask how to make a PIIHB.

FIFY - to be more inclusive of other IE treasures.

IE is listed as one of top 100 Foodie sites

 

[HouseofPain]

This is why we cant have nice things.

 

[thekid33]

Not a stitch of inside info escapes the Gug in the 3 years MF is coach and all of a sudden someone is unloading everything you could ever ask. I think this whole thing was a CIA psyop

Either that or a foreign enemy trying to sow discord amongst us in preparation of their invasion.

Pope gets "sick" and the new insider appears.

Pope starts to get better and the new insider leaves.

I am telling you - His Holiness needed a break from the day-to-day.

But then he started getting so many questions thrown at him that he decided running the global Catholic Church was easier 🤣

 

[Old Man Mike]

MAKES SENSE!!!

Wait. No it doesn't.

Let me think about this ...............

 

[stlnd01]

Well, I'm bummed he's gone too and hope Bua stays. But now we can all speculate on who the man behind the curtain was.

Clues...He knew a lot from 2010 on so not someone new like MF to the program, and mentioned "coming down" to talk to Saban in one post. So I think he's not in Indiana but in the South East maybe even Bama.

Any guesses besides Lucky Lefty 🤣🤣🤣

Bill Rees, confirmed.

Vatican NIL deals coming this summer

And drunks

 

[Henges24]

Bill Rees, confirmed.

This is a good guess.

How would he know so much about current things though?
He seemed to write in his 40s-50s, IMO.
Is Bua, Tommy?

It gets much darker the more you search the depths of the site.

It's about time that we optimized the potential of the second collection.

I'm faster than SBPD cops.
