Irritating though it is obviously going to be, talking at Cope gigs is hardly a new thing, especially not when he does quiet stuff and when the venue is bar-y. Talking about talking at Cope gigs is not a new thing to this forum either - there's been plenty of discussion about that throughout the tour, BUT ... a new poster essentially getting flamed for mentioning being disappointed with people talking at a Cope gig ... on a Cope forum, by a regular - well that's a new one on me.
Nobody was defending the talkers last week, were they? Had it not been people whom you were there with, I somehow doubt you'd have waded in and had a go at the guy.
I'm really not here to harp on about gig etiquette, but I DO think that flaming the guy for complaining about the talking is absolutely fucking absurd, given the circumstances.
