Nick said:
Yeah you can, in theory. It doesn't have to be either of things. In practice, maybe you're right that those are the two traps it can fall into.
In theory, yeah, I just meant that in the time I've been on ILX, and especially ILE (there were a couple months when I was only on ILM ... which I hardly ever read now, for lack of time), it doesn't seem like more than a couple weeks ever goes by without there being a lengthy thread about one or the other of those problems.
Whether they're actually problems or not -- whether the perceived traits of ILX-at-the-time are there or are just transient things which might go away if ignored -- and whether they're traps or just things that happen, the way all social groups shift and mingle -- is a whole nother question. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, which is probably why I'm not bothered either by group-hug-chat-room ILX or I-hate-sparrows ILX.
haha he put intellectual in quote marks
Don't take that wrong, I was rushed for time and trying to clarify that serious threads don't always have to be about "intellectual" things (for lack of a word coming more quickly to mind), nor do intellectual threads need to be serious. We could probably have a rollicking thread about Saussure and dick jokes, really.
i read and post on the "earnest" threads bcz the chances of finding somewhere else in the world where i get my ideas this stretched or challenged = v.slim indeed
I wasn't dismissing or criticizing that or anything, it's just not an opportunity I lack elsewhere.

I'm not bitter or anything but it is a bit sad if this is happening others aswell.
In no way do I really consider this a big thing and I'm not on here enough to complain what with work and all but it is how I feel nonetheless. I haven't really talked properly to people here in ages despite posting daily, albeit a little less, it's very easy to fall out of the loop actually. But I'm sure I'll be back. Positive.

Man has always wanted a woman by his side to keep him companyWomen always knew that it takes a man to get matrimonial harmonyEverybody knows that a man who's feeling down wants some female sympathyGotta have love to carry on livingGotta have love 'till eternity
People need hope, people need lovingPeople need trust from a fellow manPeople need love to make a good livingPeople need faith in a helping hand
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laLa la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...
Flowers in the desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her manIf a man's in love and his woman wants the moonThen he'll take it down if he canSomebody who loves you and somebody who caresIsn't that what you'd call a friend?Gotta have love to carry on livingIsn't it easy to understand?
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laLa la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laLa la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...
