what's tl;dr?
I read all of that.

Sometimes it can be hard to tell when people are being serious round here, so I try and err on the side of 'They're joking. Hopefully.'

Or at least, I'd like to.

As an aside though, I do truly believe that the viciousness a lot of people online (not necessarily here) really does show that they've lost sight of what's funny and what isn't, and they're just....well, fuckheads. Badly raised, bitter little fuckheads that don't know how to be funny any other way.

ALSO, i agree with the the last point
it does seem like some people feel that the only way to get attention is to upset people.

we were talking about this the other day.

A bully's a bully's a bully, I think.
Or at least, I do at the moment. The more I think about it, the more occurs to me.

Maybe.
From the right perspective, that's part of the joke. Like this SSG thing. I don't know if he really has cancer. I assume not, but maybe he does. It scarcely matters for the purposes of his posts and our responses. If there is any humour, it doesn't come from the subject matter but from how people react, and the disparity between their apparent reaction and what they actually think. That's an awful explanation, but I'm incapable of putting the ideas into words, or even thinking about it coherently.

I think I get you.
I do see what you mean, as I say, the more I think about it, the more occurs.

You're right though, things can go too far.
That's sort of part of what I meant up there but failed to say.

I'm so confused.
