It seems like failing to code switch and blend isn't common on the Yuletide Discord/IRC/members comm even for the damn vets.

Talking about chronic illness? People who have been in chat for years still do it.

Badmouthing your assignment when it will be really easy to connect the dots once reveals happen? Will only get you chastised if a mod is around and people still do it every year.

Sharing all the TMI details of your life? You have to block some people because even after 10 years and aa whole platform change later, they still do it.

Whinging about lack of comments when we can all see you haven't commented on yours? Probably the most obvious example of things you OBVIOUSLY shouldn't do in Yuletide culture and yet it is the FREE SPACE on wanky Yulechat bingo cards.

I get that his brand of bad chat behavior is your pet peeve, but let's please not act like breaking all obvious societal norms or boundaries and not bothering strangers with your TMI starts or ends with this fucking Elijah kid. He likely saw how the regulars act and thought not bothering to blend was fine.

Well said.

I'll take 10 Elijah's over some of the 40+ y/o Yuletiders who haven't changed. At least there's hope for teenagers to grow out of it.

I can multitask and complain about other idiots in chat, too.
