I'm not really huffy. I'm simply bothered. Having not made any wind-ups in the past, and in fact being a very truthful person, it bothers me that the general opinion was that I'm a cunty bullshitter. I don't see what basis they had for this.
I'd imagine that the basis that people, myself included, thought you were a 'cunty bullshitter' in this instance (I have no clue about the other times, don't read most of the forum) was that the story was so ridiculous that it *had* to be a wind-up. Your part in it was irrelevant. Anyone could have posted it and got the exact same response. No-one was picking on you or treating you different. You posted a wind-up. People went "Nah, that must be a wind-up". People were right. And as a joke, it *was* fucking funny so it certainly did what it was meant to do.
I wouldn't feel guilty about it, I'm sure I'm not the only one that found it amusing so probably brightened up the days of a fair people people on here. Just, y'know, don't get offended when people find a joke funny.

I have previously admitted to having mental problems, which was then used as a source of humour and unpleasnt jokes. I have previously basically said 'Help, help, help, I just want to fucking die, aaargh my life is compeltely shit', and it was completely ignored. I have previously admitted to being so desperately lonely that I was at the time seriously considering suicide, which was also ignored.
I'll admit, I've seen threads on that like here and I've ignored them. For two reasons. The first might be a bit harsh, but I have enough troubles to deal with of my own and those of my real life friends than to get sucked into those of people I don't know on the internet. Again, nothing to do with you, I would look at anyone else posting here in the same way. I might read the first post and think "poor chap" and then go to another thread because I come here for fun and entertainment, not to find more people's problems to solve.
Secondly, even if I did want to help a perfect stranger, I'd have no clue how. Other than do what we do in the day job and refer you to the Samaritans on 08457909090 or see your GP and get referred to a psychiatrist, there's not much I can do. I imagine most people are in a similar position. When it comes to something like this, everyone's case is different and as most people don't actually know you, it's hard for even those that have gone through it to advise. It's not like asking for advice about a parking fine or a noisy neighbour or what DS flash cart to buy. It's the sort of thing where the best help would be professional. And of course, no-one wants to be the person that says the wrong thing and fucks you up even more. So people will avoid stuff like that on internet forums. And again, it's not you. Were anyone to post something similar they'd also get the same response.
Right, I'm done with being serious and am going back to making snarky comments on threads about video games. Good luck with whatever you do Sir and I wish you well in the future.
