One is said to have become 'chatatonic' after over-exposure to
chat and especially chat rooms. In a chatatonic stupor, the mind becomes numb and body parts
stiff and sore. Disjointed, surreal posts are noted from chatatonic chatters and unpleasant
personality changes are typical.
Chatters were saying that
chat_gnat was chatatonic for much of last week. He was in the room for like
4 days
straight... slurping espresso on mic and ranting about Democrats, lesbians and the French.
