lj quite gauche in his thirdship person assertion of gaucheness imo

mundane peaceable username (darraghmac), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 22:38 (ten years ago) link

imo,

there are different levels of shall we euphemistically say generosity with oneself that one can employ on ilx

an approximate metric states that the higher the level of generosity, the more that perception of time is slowed. regular ilx posting, perversely, is an antidote to perspective. 7 years on friday i'll have been here, 7 years have taught me this

"gauche" does not apply outside of ilx where i'm sure you're awesome, wise, hip, whatever

but on ilx, "gauche" is a matter of visibility and time, for the game is to post as perfectly as possible. this is not true of many websites. it is ilx's blessing and its curse

I'd say that Treeship is a lot more conscious of his reception than he states, and the questioning of how he's received isn't all that necessary.

Vintage LJ was full steam ahead, no time for questioning, let it all loose to the public square.

i think i am just arbitrarily under a lot of scrutiny and so whatever i post will seen as evidence of something

maybe you can find a self-effacing youtube to post repeatedly for a while

like you are totally getting the kshighway/markers treatment circa 2010

Gregory Bateson is always appropriate (sarahell), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 22:51 (ten years ago) link

i would like to say it is not arbitrary but then nobody has started a thread to ask wins what his favourite gilmore girls episode is, so perhaps you are right

LJ has always been aware of his reception, possibly he coulda done bytimes with a treezy pr manager

Im certain the man himself's advice would not be 'go forth as uncautiously as i did' to any flowering bud

mundane peaceable username (darraghmac), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 22:56 (ten years ago) link

well yes, despite my convoluted justification of an ilx-specific "gauche" i'm ultimately conflating my former self and treeships's current, which i've already ascertained to be very distinct. hence, "gauche" was the wrong word (albeit picked, if we must recall, from the 'vague fug') - if diamond-splitting accuracy is what's required, perhaps the word is "effulgent"; nothing is obscured, lensed, deflected

he is pert

occasionally the beam is split, and one half comments upon the other, but it is all the same beam, the beam of a treeship whose light doth radiate all ways, and mostly the kind of light one can read by, i am happy to say

imago, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link

pert works too

my friend's mom was one of the chemists who helped create the original for Pert shampoo. #funfactformyfansoutthere

Treeship, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 23:06 (ten years ago) link

nah, I am just going back to the original reason for the revival, which is LJ's revival of the boys-on-girls-thread thread which covers things like shampoo and shopping

don't know that I was seriously calling treezy pert there xps

Ya but i was referencing the spider and the fly in a clever manner in an ilxy type way

mundane peaceable username (darraghmac), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 23:09 (ten years ago) link

you also used the phrase "flowering bud" which sounds like a paedo way of referring to a young man's anus

Wins, do you feel relieved or piqued by jung 3z's rapid descent into the gaze of wider ilx? Do you chafe or bide? What criticism would you deign offer, or what wisdom crave you from his treeslips?

imago, i'm a little disappointed by your answer (tbh i was looking for either more psychoanalysis or more social-theory condemnation of ilx) but most of the rest of you are totes on point and make me proud to be an ilx poster.

did you name yourself after a Rovo album?

frogbs, Wednesday, 24 July 2013 01:09 (ten years ago) link

you know, this isn't meant to be mean, whatsoever, call it tough love maybe - lj, i think that you really need to start taking some lumps/responsibility for this stuff. i mean, you've been googleproofed, you've been ytmnd'd, and getting us to ban you instead of just learning to exert some self-control doesn't seem to be the solution to your difficulties. you are capable of not pissing people off, but your most recent incarnation seems hell bent on trading old vulnerable LJ for new improved LBZC lapdog zingmaster LJ.

maybe just try posting for a while without some arch internet persona, and see how it goes for you.

obv if other mods feel differently, im not opposed to your request, i just think it wont help break the same cycle you seem to tend to go through.

even the worst contemporary ilx posters don't receive vitriol this abrasive. is this just an era of cuddlytime or was og lj really an exceptional threat to the well being of ilx?

Mordy , Wednesday, 24 July 2013 01:51 (ten years ago) link

his ability to go from endearing to infuriating within a post or two was quite remarkable

take that, bitterman (electricsound), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 02:39 (ten years ago) link

definitely cuddlytime
