What if your mother and girlfriend got in a car accident? Would you still have such a big mouth about it?
Show some respect, even on the internet. This place is supposed to be a peaceful community.
I'm all for respect and peace, but taking an internet April fool's joke directed toward an entire community personally just because of your circumstances is irritating. Let's say my wife just died. Should I be expecting Joyrex to be sorry about that too?

No, he shouldn't. And that wasn't really my point. You blatantly said he should get over himself, I don't think it's *that* easy when you've received bad news like that. Just show a little bit more respect to fellow board members when they vent their personal feelings.
It seemed like you totally slagged him off.

Well, maybe not apologise, but at least show a little sympathy. That was all I read into Skytree's post. I dunno, if I'd accidentally upset somebody then I'd automatically say sorry just because it's polite to show a bit of sympathy for someone going through a hard time.
Anyway, it's all rather academic. I know we're supposed to show Joyrex a bit of respect just because he's connected... but maybe the watmm attitude that I find so abhorrent starts with him. That place is enough to put me off listening to this stuff completely.

Longtime BoC fan here. Never posted on any forums associated with them before. But I registered here just to say that I lol'd, very hard.

Yeah man, they'll pull through...thanks. Both cars are smashed to all hell though, including our Prius (hit and run). Just been a bit mental here recently. Anyhow Gordon, hope Ayrshire's well these days. How've things been since Mark moved into town?

Damn, I'm a bit sorry I posted about that, to be honest. There are clearly some misunderstandings going on here...but with the internet, it's best to leave it be. So, tah!

oh well, I wanted to believe... but I've been fooled. It's legit I guess, but in my opinion it is also a clear example of BAD TASTE

Well, friends, after 3 pages of general angst, I think it's time to admit that this is just one big 'boc fake' thread.
Any further complaints about the joke are best addressed to WATMM. And I'm sure all of you know how to find it.
