people don't make up internet personas... do they??

an alleged kid calling himself bramsey89 posts this on a running msg bd [that is, a worldwide public forum designated for the discussion of running].

Hey all.
Well here's my story.
Im ugly, friendless since 6th grade (Not an exaggeration) dropped out of college because of suicidal ideation, working at a grocery store for the rest of my life, virgin, never kissed, never will. Never drank, never been to a party, almost completely mute, never leave my house unless to run or go to grocery store for work, been to 6 therapists and 2 hospitals, been on 4 medications, nothing worked.
Any tips?


his profile lists him as 19yo, 5'11", weighing in at a whopping 138lbs with a stated goal weight of 125lbs. for realz, yo? who in their right mind wants to weigh 125 at 5'11"?? oh, right. i forgot who we are dealing with here. so, he posts this little tidbit on 1/7/09 in the evening - thereby spawning 8 pages of threaded replies. at first, there are offers to run w/ him & suggestions on everything from diet to dating. slowly, the chatter deriorates as ol' bramsey89 remains in absentia for nearly a week. he reappears on 1/13/09 to state that he is surprised by the outpouring of advice and that he is not going to off myself unless I have absolutely no hope left. he is promptly pelted w/ further questions about his well-being, which of course deteriorate once again into chatter about sex, parachute pants, & foreigners - in no particular order.

enter stage leftfield - bramsey89, this time bemoaning the deterioration & taking it personally - Why do I get the feeling this whole thread is turning into an opportunity to mock me?. others attempt to reassure bramsey89 that he is not the target of mocking - that they are all simply mocking each other - when it is clear that bramsey89 is pretty much the target of it all.

no further replies from bramsey89. yet.
