If you want good examples of that, go to Second Life. Sick and dieing people abound. I’m not saying that everyone is like that, I’ve found some very good friends there…but there are a LOT of attention whores out there.
Frikkin’ hell. I go on internet sabbatical for a week and what happens?** Frikkin’ Nothing**! Can’t you people get your own contentious threads going off your own bat? I ask you.
Hey now don’t you be looking at me askance, Askance. We can’t all be reading every single thread. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some cancer treatments to take because I got cancer back when I was in Special Forces.
I don’t have MbI. My girlfriend might, though. She’s a model, but lives in Canada so you probably don’t know her.

A post in MPSIMs by a certain notable poster raised a tiny shadow of a doubt of this sort when I saw it earlier today…
I have a horrible, incurable fatal disease that can only be cured if I can be immersed in several hundred pounds of Gold dust.
Please send all you can spare. My need is urgent.
