Cheerios4u98 Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I’m sad this news got out. Clearly he didn’t mean to share it and wasn’t ready for the world to know. Must be causing a lot of extra stress. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be causing a lot of extra stress. i was downvoted a lot on reddit when i politely asked people to delete the initial screenshots going around as he had clearly posted that story by accident. i guess it wouldn't have made much of a difference in the end because ~internet~ but yeah. this really really sucks. i wouldn't hold it against him if he decided not to stream much anymore because people will not stop talking about it, regardless of how clear he makes his feelings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickay Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 A problem with Twitch is that people join halfway through and miss the original answer. The same questions get asked repeatedly all the time. The only way to stop it would be to put *No Cancer Questions* in the description and/or have the mods delete the messages/timeout people.

Ghent Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 4 hours ago, daveyjones said: i watched two grandparents (20 years apart) go through chemo for more than one year and then die. the last thing in the world they wanted to do was talk about it. people are asking him because of how it makes them feel when instead they should be thinking about his feelings. mark said "i'll answer you and then i really don't want to talk about it." and then people kept asking in the chat. just super inconsiderate, speedo. No one here talks to Mark. This is a separate entity that has been around way before Discord or whatever you guys connect with him on. No one here is pestering him. All we’re doing is collecting money for the LA Children’s Hospital because we’re bummed our hero has cancer. We don’t know details, but you can’t go wrong donating to a children’s hospital. It definitely has something to do with how WE feel. We’re bummed. But we didn’t ask for this news. It sucks. So I say let’s respond by donating to a children’s hospital Mark supports. That’s all anyone is doing here. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 2011? Mark says he “quit smoking 8 months ago.” The consensus seems to be that he quit around 1998 but perhaps he relapsed in the +44 era? I’m not saying this has anything to do with his illness. It probably doesn’t, especially if he quit for good in 1998. I was just curious if anyone knew. If it did contribute, it’s something that should be known. Perhaps one of you will be deterred and quit because of it. As I said, I’m sure Mark will share his story when he is ready.

Ghent Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Has it come out that he has lung cancer or something? If not, that is an odd thing to be fixated on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, that is an odd thing to be fixated on Sounds like he's just speculating what type of cancer Mark has based on what little we know of his health over the decades. Like, I get that 2003 guy is just speculating and it's innocent - we do this shit for pretty much everything the band does - but it's just in poor taste given the circumstances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Deleted the post. Did not mean to upset anyone. It‘s just that I am a former smoker myself so this really concerned me. Mark’s diagnosis has hit close to home in a way because he was a big part of my childhood. It made me think about these things, but I realize it was bad timing. Apologies to anyone offended. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your intentions came from the right place tho, I'm sure. Nice for examining what you said and holding your hands up. That's rare on the internet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
