I never wished death on anyone? I’ve definitely been an asshole and I’m sorry for that. As a former addict I did post while in frames of mind that were counterproductive to peace. Anyway I’m sorry for damage caused and yeah temp ban me or delete me, it’s cool

I don't really consider dropping anvils on fish fuckers to be a sincere death threat. ymmv.

BTW this whole thing is p funny because it seems people have forgotten that the whole I AM NOW LEAVING ILX FOREVER *comes back a day later* was a long-running joke on the site a long time ago.

(That is what I did with my unannounced 37-second absence from ILX. I am a new man.)

good to have u back all the same
― dele alli my bookmarks (darraghmac), Wednesday, 8 August 2018 23:12 (six years ago) link
here’s ten reasons my engagement w ilx has waned
1) politics threads taking over ILE
2) very online podcast leftists taking over politics threads
3) hardline classic rockists who obssess over classic rock taking over ILM
4) poptimists become radicalized as a result, now only listen to r&b and teenpop
5) snide cinema bores
6) disgusting savages w strong opinions abt whether prawn and rocket pizza is a sandwich and how best to eat one while pooping at work
7) people oversharing and wallowing in depression drama on mental health threads
8) every time i see old posts of mine i feel like a jackass because my online persona is approx 10^6 times more argumentative, negative and obnoxious than my IRL persona and ILX doesn’t have the accountablity that, say, facebook has
9) because the subaltern cannot speak
10) not wanting to share my secret weapons now that i am an actual performing dj irl (sorry to my bobbins thread bros)
11) tombot trolling the sneaker thread
12) making six figures and bennies leaves less time for internet fuckery @ work
13) miss my old friends and too haughty to make new ones
― the late great, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 23:52 (six years ago) link
so i guess ... all of the above?
and not really knowing how to be the change i want to see on ilx
― the late great, Wednesday, 8 August 2018 23:54 (six years ago) link
lol tlg i feel a lot of that but i sincerely hope i am correct in detecting planetary amounts of irony in 10) and 12)!

some footnotes
1), 2) - i blame trump, and i get it, but yeah i don’t need to be thinking abt trump this much and it’s a bit anxious-making to see people who are a lot “safer” than me in trump’s america freaking the fuck out every day
3), 4) hard to imagine something like basement jaxx or lcd soundsystem drawing the diverse ILM tribes together again and i miss that communal experence
5) people used to talk a lot about themselves and their feelings, now i feel there is a lot of discussion of other people and a lot of projection
6) ok well i guess i just contradicted myself

now i feel there is a lot of discussion of other people and a lot of projectionand bonus multiple active threads where people complain about other people whether it's it's awful coworkers or disgusting savages or words that annoy or things that make u IA or people on facebook or any number of other complainy threads
seems like there are many and varied opportunities to complain which can create a negative effect on the general atmosphere

about the loss of communal experience I really wonder why that is, what has changed about ilx / the outer world

I'd never recommend it for anyone else, but getting really tweaked on caffeine and writing a long screed that completely misses the point in the conversation, only to never open that thread again is my horrible form of catharsis
now the cat's out of the bag
