Dried/dark blood that's come from deep in your bowels is when you should get the doctor to stick his thing in there

If you listen to the Co-Optional podcast you can hear how unwell he sounds compared to his old self...

He does. I don't expect we'll see many more Co-Optionals with him in, sadly. Things tend to go downhill pretty fast once you're at the liver-failing stage.

He posted a pic on Twitter about a week ago in which he is substantially blocked by his dog, but you could see he'd lost quite a lot of weight.

You only have to look at the pics of Steve Jobs to imagine the decline. Poor sod.

How do you determine when is the right time to go, like there must have been a fair bit of blood in your case right?

Bleeding is sometimes caused by damage to the skin around the...err..hole. It usually a lighter colour.

You need to consult proper medical advice, not the gd forum.

Aww, this sucks

.

@iamtheoneneo Go to the docs dude. Don't make the same mistake TB did by ignoring something like this. It's probably nothing to worry about, but better to be safe than sorry.

Very much this!

However we can't say anymore because hospital threads get locked, but yes get yourself checked asap

Still find it hard to fully sympathise with the bloke after he wished this disease on other people, wasn't a one-off either and it wasn't like he was a 16yr old kid when he did it, well into his 20's.

yes make sure you hold it against him forever.

What as in he threw it around as an insult?

You realise that when someone says something like "I could just kill them" or "go **** yourself" they're often just venting and don't mean it literally right?

The guy actually has cancer and is dying, I'm not sure why his use of an insult is a particularly great reason to decide to be unsympathetic.

Wait, are you equating "I could just kill them" to "go die of cancer"? They aren't the same. The latter is abhorrent. He doesn't deserve to die, he doesn't deserve cancer, but you are going to lose a bit of sympathy throwing that around as an insult.

I've not equated anything, I've given clearer example's of people saying things they don't mean in a literal sense.

I don't believe that someone saying "I hope you get AIDS" or "I hope you get cancer" or "I hope you die" or "**** off and die" etc.. or something along those lines actually means that literally in the vast majority of cases.

So to point out that an actual cancer victim who is dying has thrown around some insults in the past seems to be a bit irrelevant - unless there is some additional context that hasn't been revealed yet?

Do you understand how offensive it is to wish cancer on someone? Again, I'm incredibly sorry he has cancer, but you will actually change how people feel about you as a human being if you go around saying that to people. Especially if you're saying it in your 20's and not as an idiotic teenager with no life experience

I had the same problem and went to see the doctors and was told it wasn't to worry about after a bit of an enquiry. You should go too and put your mind at ease. That part of the body struggles to heal given its usage so you can easily open up a cut or scratch

Very sad about TB, I idolised him when he ran WCRadio although I think a lot of the staff often fell out with him and he was a bit of an ass by the end. I played with him on Trollbane for a short while as my best friend lured him to his guild, used to make me heal his heroics as I was in a top guild. We took him on a naxx run (at level 70) and I remember him talking about our MT dying to the frogger game on his show

I don't feel that edge-lording a cancer wish on someone is really all that bad a moral crime, in the scheme of such things.

IvanDobskey · 2 May 2018 at 15:23

I would never wish cancer on anyone.

It is a horrendous disease.

Awful thing to do.

Yeah if you push out a brick and blood is normal red colour that's just a cut to bungholio.

If it's dark in colour / black yeah go to your GP now..... and to anyone unsure of that area again, put embarrassment aside and consult GP......

It's a strange world we're living in these days. Throw around statements like that as if it's no big deal.

It wasn't just once though and iirc he was also caught on a podcast saying "people are obviously autistic because they don't get me". Surely when you're fairly high profile you'd have some self-awareness about stuff you'd write or say on social media? I'm pretty sure for example if you were to go on twitter (assuming you have it) and tell someone to "get cancer and die" your employer would sharp get rid of you and some close friends would likely question what type of person you were. I don't think exclaiming it isn't meant literally makes it okay either, maybe if it was just the one time. I think if you're a gamer or frequent certain places online then you've probably been desensitised a little to these insults because every kid (manchild) and their dog uses them when something doesn't go their way.

Like I said, I don't wish ill on him at all and like anyone with that horrible disease want them to pull through, it just takes the edge off being able to 100% sympathise with his position when he's taken the subject so lightly in the past. I'd assume he'd completely understand anyone taking that stance as he seems to have acknowledged so.

With respect to TB losing it and wishing cancer upon someone, he did write about this topic in the past -
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s1s8n9

A few people from a certain messageboard we all know decided to take it upon themselves to mock me for my separation. In a fit of rage I lashed out at them, saying all kinds of awful things. One guy got caught in the crossfire, he was genuinely just asking a question, but I told him to get cancer and die.

It's water under the bridge between the both of us. We talked it through and made our apologies years ago, but that's the thing about the internet. Nothing ever gets deleted, even if you think it has been. Knowing that, I left the offending tweet up, as a reminder to myself that this was not acceptable under any circumstances, you can't just go around wishing that upon people even if you don't mean it.
