I dunno, isn't that what happens on /talk, people take the piss constantly, nothing's sacred?
I got a lot of stick for saying I was in hospital for depression, loads of people laid into me for that and still do occasionally.

If I don't want /talk to rip the piss out of something then I don't post it there because people treat it as fair game. Bou was absolutely harangued for saying she had temporal lobe epilepsy, I get stick about my trip to the loony bin.

and baldmonkey got stick for being a bit wobbly when he forgot his meds, to the point where he's now left the board
and if anyone admits to being depressed or suicidal the usual /talk response is a near-unanimous "we don't care, go kill yourself"

and this week we've all had a good rofl at someone who might have cancer

Ok, seeing as you're being honest, I don't care about the medical thing, it's a well publicised part of my life and nobody should be ashamed of their medical condition.
It was the absolute constant banging on and on about me, that the moment some conversation got going, you'd kill it off with "Bored of that, [random question]" or asking the same thing over and over. I've noticed there are far less actual conversation since you started doing that, people don't bother posting new threads 'cus they'll be stopped straight away, or they refresh to see you consistantly posting some bollocks and just go away. You get away with these spack-attacks 'cus you were funny and witty at some point, if anyone else did it, like Mortal, they'd be hounded off the board, but it's just as dull and teddious.

so the problem isn't me going on about your illness, you just don't like me?
you know you can still chat in a thread after I start one at the top, that's allowed

No, it's the constant threadstomping with no real content, especially when there was conversation going on.
If all those posts about me were possitive things about me, I'd feel exactly the same, that it's dull and tedious.

well yeah but on /talk the threads go off at a tangent very quickly
it very rarely matters what the original post was about, people just wander into discussions about other things. Take the current top thread as an example, no content at all and yet people are having a conversation around it.

Starting a thread doesn't mean "let's all talk about this", very often it just means exactly what I say, I'm bored of that, change the subject.

also this

isn't a really great way to start a thread

Yeah', I know what the thread starts with isn't always where the conversation goes...
... and if you're bored of whats being said, then go off and do something else like everyone else does, or threadjack with something you want to talk about, /talk's not there just to entertain you. You post them within minutes a few minutes of a new thread or while conversation is still happening. With that 'you cool?' thread, look at whenever the previous thing from that was said, it was 4 hours ago, nothing else was going on... which is why people do that Alright thread.

You well know this though.
