OK Mordy, you want psychoanalysis? I can only go with what I've detected in myself, which is an increasing disdain for ignorance, reductive argument and silly absolutist statements. I set myself against these perils of thought now.
My notion is that every single ILXor went through that process - of radically amending and improving upon their slapdash youth - but few posted so visibly during the initial stage of maturation. Hence, my presence, validated by its copiousness, became in turn a validation of an idiocy they thought they and their rarefied internet community of cognoscenti had spurned.
I can only say that there were many who zinged with compassion, and that it worked, because well look at me now. One crazy customer hath turned vendor. Of course, it's a continuum - elements remain in both directions - and it is probably harmful to draw a complete binary between before and after, but the process of looking back at your own embarrassing actions and seeing them replicated - amplified - in the present, swamping the discourse of a place that finally - finally - doesn't make 'surprise sex' jokes or generic statements about reggae is, maybe, somewhat horrifying.
But the 'zinging with compassion' thing again - upon discovering any kind of gaucheness, be it gaucheness of cultural reductivity or gaucheness of copiousness (the latter, perhaps, being Treeship's preferred variant, albeit that it has nothing on my own peak output, and when combined with the former gives perhaps an insight into the valid reasons people had for getting pissed off with me - factor in my rampant oversharing and the equation is stretched to virtual calculator error), I must always try to channel it usefully rather than confront it - respond positively but demand strictures, as a tutor to a student, for to confront it and contemn it is to deny its owner the fair treatment I myself received at that stage - treatment which has enabled this graduation to maturity and position of experience.
Of course, if you don't believe in power-dynamics on the free, anarchic space of the Internet, you can disregard all of the above and simply believe that I irritated people quite a lot and ruined their lovely messageboard, except for when it was someone else ruining. Now I post less I ruin it less.

Zings can be targeted or can be opportunistic based on aesthetics and circumstance, the latter to be preferred at all times

the scary thing is that she's a) a philosophy student (AGAIN, why do i always fall for them) and b) she came to the club the other night with a philosophy textbook tied around her neck on a piece of string, so i perhaps wouldn't put that past her...nah, she's a girl i find it just so great to love, she's so amazing and self-determined and funny and lovely...argh i maybe need to sleep― to scour or to pop?
