"Hey, [user name]."

It seems innocuous enough but clearly conceals a wealth of connotations, which seem mildly pejorative but otherwise completely elude me. Also I recently witnessed ruyi using it to address a thread, rather than a specific user, which just further confused me. So what's the deal?

It is when the poster suffers a stroke after writing the salutation of their message.

It's also the means by which tommy identifies his next victim.

Hey!
/

This thread!
/

We need to talk.
/

It's been fun . . .
/

. . . But it's time for a break.
/

You know the magic's gone.
/

We don't hate you.
/

But sometimes things just gotta end.
/

I hope we can still be friends.
/

I mean, if we see you on the street we won't ignore you or anything.
/

Thanks for the memories, This Thread.
