but they all follow a basic formula of attention-seeking.
It's the particuarly queasy mixture of 'this terrible thing happened to me please listen to me talk about it' and 'oh yeah its totally normal and its nothing really and I go over it and adn adn etc.' which I think riles some people.
The reason people from talk come and rinse you is not becuase they are evil or /talk is a nasty place, its just they don't feel they have to play nice because they aren't interested.
I hope this makes you feel better.

most of the stories being posted are not in the least bit amusing.
Obviously, no one has to read them but, likewise, everyone is free to critique everyone else (or call them a cunt, it's all good).
