B!TC# IT OUT!

[Mer-Crazy]

The point I want to make is that despite my differences with Eric before, I never bashed someone who got a tail from him. I don't recall I did that. Correct me if I'm wrong. However, I do admit that I used to excessively point out pretty often the monofins showing through the flukes of his tails. I mean, I even did it on Bonnie's tail a long time ago when she got one and I regretted doing that because a) it was a dick move, b) it was none of my business anyway and c) she was happy with her tail and that was the most important thing.

Haha. You actually pointed out when my monofin showed through my Merbella tail too. I didn't mind though, I knew it was there, I could see it too and there wasn't much I could do about it. I just a 'damn someone else noticed' moment haha.

Fixing to be fucking 20, i got offered a kiddie menu the other day when i went with my father out to eat.
"Sir, im 20."
"Ahahahaha such a cutie this joker is!!"
Like, could a 12 year old break your arm?!? Because im fixing to!!

my bitch is that just when I was planning on buying material for my tail bit by bit (I was going to buy the neoprene I need and paint for the fluke) All of a sudden all of my school fees hit my account and now they take up my entire paycheck and if I don't pay them I won't get my financial aid. I don't mind having to wait a bit longer but I'm really disappointed because I was looking forward to trying my hand at making another tail.

[Lotus the Mermaid]

I'm so sorry, Momo. I completely understand that frustration. House payments and utilities snuck up on me right when I was about to pay off my tail. It was only thanks to my mom's sweet offer to pay it off that I was able to make it. Otherwise, it may have taken another year. Anywho, you'll be a gorgeous mer! I can't wait to see your tail once it's done!

Raina I have to agree a bit. And another mer and I were kinda bashed on by someone because she said his tails were "the kind you don't want" and spent like an entire night trying to convince me to buy a finfolk tail because they're infinitely better. this happened the day I got my tail and I was so happy to have it. she was directly bashing it. I don't have that kind of money and I'd grow out of it immediately, otherwise I'd be all for a finfolk tail. but I'm happy with what I have.

was that in a thread HERE though? See, mertailor went on a whole campaign against mernetwork a few years ago, that started with the original mer yuku. Everything was to try and make people believe mernetwork was a bad hate place, so they wouldn't come here, and consequently see bad reviews with proof. lol. I know some people on FB will be stupid and judge tails, but I literally don't see anyone do it on here ever when it's someone's personal tail and anyone who even comes close to it gets knocked back something fierce from the forum as a whole. And that's regardless of the tail maker. So the whole "mernetwork hates people with eric's tails" just doesn't fly for me, especially when people can't point to a single thread where it happens in the entire history of this place.

I don't like naming names but they left one comment on an old post (which has since been deleted) and then it continued in private.

I'm guessing this was not on mernetwork; as mernetwork doesn't allow for deleting of posts.

^you can delete a post actually, not a thread though. And I do see the odd comment against the tails people own, but very rarely on mernetwork. Usually I see people bashing Eric and mertailor as a company, as well as people who jump to his defense. I used to be much more ready to jump on an "Eric messed up" discussion, but at this point, it's not worth my energy. I encourage people to read reviews, but I think once someone HAS a mertailor tail, people need to be quiet about their feelings about the tail. Some of them are beautiful. I don't like the style but some people do and that's 100% fine. I think we are a big community and some people are bound to make hurtful comments, but as a whole, Mernetwork is actually a much more positive place compared to when I joined. I remember vicious insults flying daily when I first joined, so in comparison everything seems a bit more mild now. But that's just me (sorry for the wall o text I'm on mobile)

I think you can delete a post as a mod. Not a regular member can?

[Mermaid Mystery]

yeah it was on Instagram. and I do remember a bit of Eric's ridiculous drama. the brand new forum that he tried to create, the Thom drama (what the hell was that about?), some other crap. sometimes I read really old threads and I've seen some things from both him and Matt. Matt has cleaned up his act though which is nice.

I agree about MN being a more positive place now. I guess most of the mers I had the most issues with aren't as active any more or something...

That's what I was thinking. I remember when I first joined ages ago there were a few people I didn't want to talk to at all just because I was uneasy around them. It seems that the people who come on and stir up drama leave fairly quickly, though.
Also, I'm happy to see you around again! I was wondering where you were for the longest time

[Ashe]

Okay Jinx, on to you. Putting your two rants together, it sounds like that sick man is itching to get off to someone he probably believes is a minor. No offense to you, but it may be a likely situation. That is disgusting as hell...

They aren't at all. I find people like that never last here. Sometimes I find it a difficult place so I just wait it out and they move on. People who are just interested in putting others down never last long in our community anymore.

ok usually I can find a lot to say on the subject but I'm so disgusted all I have to say is:
ew. What the fuck.

That's what I said! So creepy. :<

@Jinx - I would file a formal complaint with the pool's management. If this is happening to you, then it is likely that you are not the only person this man is "targeting", and someone much younger (child/teen) might not feel as though they have a right to advocate for herself.

Sorry to post this in advance, I can't think of where else to put this. It's a little personal, but I'm just so upset about this. I made an appointment with a doctor that was supposed to be a specialist in his field, I went to him specifically for that reason. Making the appointment was easy enough, the staff was courteous when handling my paperwork and explaining what I'd get charged for. Then I met the doctor. In the barely five minutes that he talked to me I told him why I was there, what had worked for me before and tried my best to describe the level of pain I dealt with constantly and that the medication he was trying to get me to take wouldn't work for me. He didn't listen to a single word I said, I had to tell him repeatedly why I couldn't take the medication, he wasn't even sure it would work on top of that. When I got upset that he wasn't listening to my concerns and expressed my desire to get better care from him, he told me that he couldn't work with me and that I needed to leave his office because I didn't "believe" in him. I managed to walk out and talked to one of the employees asking if there was anyone I could talk to about the doctors outright rude behavior and treatment towards me. There wasn't. I had to phone a friend to help calm me down I was so mad, I coudln't believe that I'd been kicked out of a doctors office for simply expressing a doubt about the procedure. The doctor didn't even try to explain, or work with me at all! He just threw me out, saying how we couldn't have a relationship because I didn't believe in his treatment. I've never met a more arrogant, condescending person who calls themselves a professional. I'm contesting the charge for the "treatment" I received while there, it wasn't even worth 10 cents.

[Lotus the Mermaid]

Oh my goodness, that's awful. Some doctors have enormous egos. I bet you could at least write a review about your experience wherever his clinic is listed online. That might help a little bit. I'm glad you're contesting the charge, too. That's inexcusable. What a diva. :1

[IllynReaver]

I just didn't understand that, I mean you go to a doctor for help. That was the whole point, I didn't go there to get talked down to and thrown out of the office all because i felt the treatment wasn't going to work for me, because it hadn't in the past and I wanted to know if there wasn't anything else he could do. If that was it, I would have been willing to try it again, but he didn't even give me a chance. Didn't do his job to reassure me or make me feel at ease about it. As soon as I said I didn't feel I was being helped I was told to leave.

To file a complaint about your doctor (like unprofessional conduct, incompetent practice, or licensing questions), contact your State medical board. You don't have to tolerate being treated like that! A nurse practitioner once told me "Doctors bury their mistakes".

I used to train doctors on the proper uses of certain pharmaceuticals and the egos I encountered were...pardon me...sickening. Hold his feet to the fire!

I'll have to look into the state medical board for that thanks
