I would say "The whole of ILX"
Its big enough so that if I post something I feel like saying, there's enough people around to see it and react to it, but not too many as could misinterpret it and go global with something I didn't men.
― Mark G, Friday, 6 October 2017 06:51 (six years ago) link
I didn't mean!
Tsk.
the qualx pasta thread taught me to fink about the rolling boil/still boil false dichotomy, or something. Who knows, I probably still do it wrong.

I guess Tep would be my answer — he's been an influence on my approach to food and drink the past dozen years — but really more for posts on his blogs and FB than on ILX.

'transformative' is too strong, but djp has introduced me to some a+ industrial musics, made me think about race more/differently, and is funny as shit

Feels weird to look down on anyone on ilx - this site is an abbreviation of who people are. I'm much different outside of here and not so eloquent or funny when posting. I find it hopeless to assume someone's character only by online posts

all those ILXoRz who lured me out to Seattle that one year. 2007? was it that long ago? that totally had a profound effect on me. it really helped build my confidence when i really needed that in a serious way. just getting on a plane was huge for me. flying and public speaking! two of my biggest fears. everything about it was some sort of step forward. it was hard and so rewarding. there are too many people to even name who led me there and who i was fortunate enough to spend time with. but i never would have done anything like that in a million years without the encouragement of the people here. it was so scary and it really did change me. everyone was so nice. ned has always been so encouraging and positive over the years toward me and i really appreciate that so much. it means a lot. i feel the same way about filthy phil freeman putting me in that book of his. that was also huge and a lifeline to a wider world that i needed desperately at the time. it also taught me that i could do better work than i thought i could. again, a push forward. EVERYONE i've met from here - and i've met dozens of people irl - has been SO nice and funny and fun to talk to. no exceptions. so many smart people. i always feel enriched after a conversation with them. i even get to hang out with tarfumes the escape goat sometimes. and learn new keith moon info.
