I'm definitely off, Won't namechange, just going to go.

[Fenton]

Not attention seeking, just thought I'd clear off in the proper way,

I've had some amazing things happen since I've been here, good solid friends, life changing things , which I will always be grateful for.

I don't think I'm sensitive flower, I've always been more concerned about upsetting other people than worried for my own feelings.

Having my opinions and viewpoints pulled apart or mocked I can withstand, but to be belittled by people I feel I have chatted over sometime now actually hurts my feelings, - so, after sobbing into my cocoa for the past hour I know it's time to go.

It's surprising the things that finally make you flounce, innit?

Hey, less of the chiefing missy, I'm all svelte now I'll have you know!

Would it help if I clutched you to my breast Hully? I could stroke your fevered brow too.

Hully - I think Phil was on a barneytastic thread with Fenton and thinks people are blaming her. I think it is a muddle. I think Phil read some comments as pointed when they were more 'don't let the bastards grind you down' stuff.
But I cry over Yellow Pages ads so I am a fucknugget.

I know not but I think she luffs Fenton and is having empathy pains. Like what friends do.

Or you're all bastards.

One or the other though

Oh. Ignore moi. What Paggy said.

Oh Hully that's shit. Have one of those awkward man-hugs that starts with a handshake, leans in, then ends with back slaps.

you are quite right, Pinot, I usually spend my energy making things and giggling, but this has made me CROSS

Norty Mardy

My second "norty" from Pinot of the morning.

Oh hully. I am sorry that you're having a horrible time.

Hully - I have people in the Real World that care about me so maybe that is why I can't empathize with people that look for this in cyberspace or those who attach any importance to such relationships.

It's a good thing Norty beats dull eeeeeeverytime

why not have both totally? Why does it have to be either/or?

And as I said, I have met Paggy, Getorf, Biwi, Knotty, Pistey etc in RL. Does that make them cyber or real friends??

Yeah, Hully, TBS has loads of real friends and we're all just saddo losers.

I think those real friends have organised a coffee morning via FB and not invited her today, though.

So why are you on this particular thread then Totally, because clearly it's for people who do care about their mates in cyberspace?

Yep. We concede it TotalBS. You are a much better person than the rest of us because you have a life. The rest of us are just a bunch of sad fuckers talking on the internet. We obviously have no interactions beyond that of a screen and a keyboard and our imaginary on-line friends. And even if we don't have "people in the Real World" who care about us, what is so wrong about looking for friendship on-line.

I am a cyborg.

Thing is, Totally, no one here minds what you think or choose to do. We like each other and like to hang out, and value our friendship.

You think differently, but, er, so what?

I am a cypher

or was it a siphon?

Sorry things are rubbish for you, Hully. I hope not everyone turns out to be an arse. Hugs and air-kisses and cake and all.
