It's wonderfully accurate.

He has a gift.
The bloke who got HIV from a transexual prostitute then told /talk made me do a :o

I saw that post
was that what it was about? I assumed it was part of a joke.

I feel bad for him if that's true.

yeah
but you can't help but think he brought it on himself by choosing to have sex with a transexual prostitute from Sau Paulo

The capslock here is an intergral part of the humour.

/talk really is the most pleasant place in the world
I can't understand why more people don't holiday there

I bet if you hired a prostitute there
you'd get something really nasty

Oh come on, mate.
firstly, the AIDS post is bullshit. Secondly, even if by some miracle of that not-being-a-wormulus-or-mortal-wombat-sockpuppet, someone who no-one knows and has barely posted before comes onto a messageboard late at night and announces that, what do you expect?

Imagine walking into a packed pub you've never been to before and announcing something like that. Imagine what would happen. It's not /talk's fault the world is full of attention-seeking mentals.

People want the abuse
I wouldn't want people fawning over me and crying if I had bad news like that, I'd want people to take the piss.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 22 Jul 2011, 10:44, Reply)

I suppose that anyone who didn't want the piss ripped out of them in the wake of such news
should probably avoid /b3ta like the plague

As ever you make a well-reasoned argument to which I have little riposte
*doffs cap*

I should have said that every time I read anything from /talk, it seems to mostly consist of unpleasantness. But that might be that only the most unpleasant conversations are worthy of linkage.

meh. It's difficult because there are some people
who've posted personal stuff that I have some sympathy for, because they are regulars here and have real life friends here and are genuinely looking for support. But always, you're laying yourself bare in public. Doesn't always make abuse right, at all, but you can't ever say people didn't leave themselves open to it.
