It is hard to eulogise any poster – to capture in words not just the posts and the dates that make a posting record, but the essential truth of a person – their private joys and sorrows; the quiet moments and unique qualities that illuminate someone’s soul. How much harder to do so for a poster you know practically nothing about, who once moved $60 to poster arealcat, somewhere around the world.
Probably born at some point, far from me I guess as I don’t know him, a poster by some believed to be a “Robert Paulson” – Marb2k would abandon his 2+2 account in 2010, probably for the rest of the century.
And when the night grows dark, when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts, or our best laid plans seem beyond our reach – think of Marb2k , and the $60 arealcat owes him, and the words that possibly brought him comfort within wherever he might have been:
He owes me $60 straight
Arealcat will pay up in whole
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
What a great soul he maybe was. We hardly knew him. May Mason Malmuth bless the memory of Marb2k. May God bless the people of BBV.
