I posted 17 or so years ago and left after a thread I started turned into some old fashioned meanness and subsequently lurked after. Current board seems less tough

Hi wins!
xps I am in many ways thankful for the grand work the bullying has done, but maybe now it can just be a meme (until the next time he casts a sweeping generalisation with certainty).

I once saw real ILE people on the street and I was so amazed, like some fabric of reality unwound right there, I could not bring myself to make contact - how weird!

The chocolate thing (cockles in red wine iirc?) was nightmarish tbh

I have a real job but that hasn't stopped me, tbh. Also I get the majority of my news and commentary from ilx, the denizens of this remit mostly supplying the info and angles that I need to understand things. Other news outlets are largely incomprehensible and/or don't really give the inside scoop commentary that I appreciate.
ilx feels less like a "freewheeling" space where anything could happen, these days, but half of what could happen back then was going to be mean, sexist, racist, or some variation on all three. There were major shakeups among nb/nyc ilxors back in the day incl v srs interpersonal issues. It wasn't all kittens and bike polo.

it occurred to me once that the only people who never bug me on facebook are past and present ilx people. like, ever. plus, i never have to explain myself to ilxors there when i post something. which is another reason why i still come here. that and the ocd.

I sort of miss when jon used to break the nb so that it would rain neon unicorns or w/e across the screen, I have to admit.
