ok I guess
a lot of what's posted on ilx is incomprehensible to me
― Dan S, Saturday, 18 August 2018 00:53 (five years ago) link
I’m certainly trying to be less intelligible
― faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 00:54 (five years ago) link
I see, just, when everything sounds like some kind of free-floating zing that produces a certain chilling effect

look guys
not being able to figure out a fairly basic trail of conversation aint a problem, as such
assuming as a default that this must be an attack on you personally is frankly a bit of a problem
― flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 00:56 (five years ago) link
it's almost as if ilx has a longstanding and insular culture and posting style that is often not immediately intelligible and takes time and practice to understand.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 18 August 2018 00:58 (five years ago) link
When darraghmac posts past 3 sentences and I can't understand it, I assume he's wasted or it's performance art. But I try not to feel irritated by it.
― Yerac, Saturday, 18 August 2018 00:58 (five years ago) link
a substantial percentage of what has been said to or about me in the past 24 hours has been either an attack or in reference to one, so it isn’t an outlandish assumption
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 18 August 2018 00:58 (five years ago) link
oh the one above it about how there are 4 posters or so (that I can't tell apart) that seem to be writing on spec for a juvenile british humor sitcom. And most of the posts are nonsensical. Like, I kind of get writing extra colloquially or absurdly but at a certain point no one is taking the time to read it.

xp — I’m not irritated, more confused and unsure how to respond or what tone it is
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:01 (five years ago) link
kwtherine i get that
but if you get to the stage where all posters starg to look the same to you, and its all negative, theres not a lot can be done about that from my end is there
ive spent most of the day engaging with you fairly pleasantly imo, quite a bit of it on the history of flag posting, a favoured topic of mine. why youd then lump.me in with whatever cadre you blame for spoiling yr day, idk, but its not my issue tbh
― flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link
Is yerac being sarcastic?
― F# A# (∞), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link
Nobody on ILX has ever been sarcastic, as far as I’ve noticed
― faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:04 (five years ago) link
No, not really. It probably doesn't help either that people call posters by their old login names so I can't tell who is who anymore. What thread is the thread in question anyway.
― Yerac, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:05 (five years ago) link
agree
but I do agree with darraghmac that he has engaged in good faith

...i tend to treat yerac posts as pulling ilxs leg tbh
i try not to let it irritate me either!
also shes been extraordinarily nice on my backpacking thread
ilxors (self included) in general are rly good if their egos allow them not to need to understand everything, or not to presume what they dont understand is negative, and even if ut was it probly wasnt for them.
i mean sometimes it is too but lookit its a busyish board and we are gonna bump against each other but id buy most of ye a drink the other side of it like
― flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link
xping like crazy here bloody phone
if you're having trouble keeping track of names, i recommend starting a .xls
also there is a search function available if you'd like to understand which threads a poster has been active in recently.

darragh is fine here. Some other places it's the fucking moops.
xpost and oh yeah, I am extraordinarily dry, mean and sarcastic in real life, but also really nice, calm and fair in real life too. And I totally troll white men because they are so absolutely easy.

the moops
now that is cryptic

honestly i had no idea what darragh was saying when i started posting but it added to the mystery of this place

I’m probably the most gibberish poster, a third of my posts are garbled allusions to things I haven’t read.

I have not read through this revive tbh but I’d just like to say that I am truly sorry for seeming to have caused all of this. my intent was really not to diss katherine, whom I respect, but rather to focus the 1975 thread on what I felt was a more productive direction. the thread has been notably trolled by turrican for years and I perhaps carelessly (and certainly imprecisely) lumped katherine in with him based on a review of hers that was posted to the thread (by another poster!) that tbh I felt was weakly reasoned and not worth engaging. I think the dogpile that ensued was pretty gross and again I am sorry for seeming to have caused it
