Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

Honestly considering how frequently you need to make shitty posts about his shitty posts… idk maybe follow an ilx tradition and make a separate thread for pointing out his shitty posts, because your vendetta is tedious at this point

You could even poll them!!!

That’s a weird thing for someone who sent me a load of messages about their decade plus old grudge about said person to say. On the subject of tedious grudges, killfile me will you? Thanks.

Keep making your anger everyone else’s responsibility to deal with! Really kind of you

I don’t care about your need to follow me around and try to mention me or draw my attention to me in some way. Just so you know, the post I responded to was unperson mocking Left for Left being upset about the cavalier response of some posters to writing a recommendation for a friend’s zine that contained a photo of a toddler being raped. But yes. Very irrational and bad thing for me to get angry about. How shameful.

In any case, enough. Catch this block and find someone else to follow.

Lol I have been posting here longer than you, and I was one of the people who started this thread that you are claiming I am following you around on?

The main reason I brought this up to you, is that you felt it necessary to point out the tedium of xyzzz/lj beef in re UK politics, and I am just saying that your beef w unperson has reached a similar level here.

While you have assumed the mantle of Branwell in many ways, they were an OG and you are not that.

"but given that you kinda haven't ever acknowledged me or other gay or queer posters on this board"

i still wish i knew what this meant. its been bugging me. i don't want to feel like i've been excluding or ignoring people. have i been? i don't always know who is queer or even who is who on here. i don't remember everyone's story. is that terrible? it kinda becomes one person to me. the ilx person. i think i respond to people if they ask me a question or start a conversation with me. i can be rude though maybe. when i post its to everyone! not anyone in particular.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

i definitely know that you are a transgender woman, kate! i admire and enjoy your posts and i always learn something from them.

i was kind of self-deprecating a little with that, which i try not to do overall. i guess technically me talking about my lived experience is a form of political activism, but from my perspective i'm an autistic girl who never shuts up about her special interest

speaking of which i saw another funny bumper sticker today

"my puppygirl can beat up your honor student"

anyway, 13,668 messages. sounds about right. i don't know how long i've been here, though, and i'm not sure how to find out.

do ilx beefs have beef detectives? i think "beef detective" sounds like a fun job title. i wouldn't want to be one, though.

what i like about ilx is that i can find people my age here. i was at transfem brunch today and i told someone i was 48 and asked "how old do you think i am?", and she said she thought i was older. she's pretty young and also extremely autistic, like, clearly doesn't get social cues. when we were outside after the brunch i asked her about a youtube channel she followed that i'd never heard of and she asked me if i'd seen a certain meme from the channel, and acted out the meme very loudly and enthusiastically. it was a bit about shadow the hedgehog that sounded like something lenny bruce would say about shadow the hedgehog. a lot of stuff about shadow the hedgehog's cock. i'm not really embarrassed about stuff like that but my qpp, who was there with me, was. for the record, i haven't seen that particular meme, even though i've seen a fair number of memes.

anyway sometimes people will say things here that i can't relate to at all, but y'all can talk to a part of my life that i don't have much opportunity to socially express elsewhere. it's this or facebook, and honestly, whatever beefs people here have, ilx isn't built on systematically monetizing the cycle of abuse. i like being here. it's kind of a wistful experience, because it does get smaller year by year. i'm very aware of the impermanence of this place. i value it a lot now, though, value the people here now.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

fwiw i totally get how you got that conclusion. people are always finding all kinds of ways of disingenuous and nasty ways to be hostile to queer people, ways that aren't necessarily obvious to most folks. it's hard for me to know when somebody's doing that or when i'm reading too much into things. if you do read this, i think highly of you and i really like how you acknowledged and took responsibility for your unintentional mistake. that's really fucking hard to do.

as far as thinking the joke was hostile, i have a long history here of reading hostility into interactions that just isn't there. i'm getting better about understanding that actual hostility here is very rare and posting accordingly. i hedged in that post which should have been a sign that i wasn't responding in the best way. anyway, i think i've changed pretty substantially in a good way--i know by increased good feeling i get from others here. i'm grateful to have this place as somewhere i can feel comfortable and learn a lot from. ya'll are very kind and fascinating in the best sense.

xp thanks kate!

I am on nearly 55k which seems low. My ilx login email doesn't work anymore and I wonder...really should be on 100k

^how not to show up on the ILX Milk Carton thread

You have posted 21,446 messages

It's probably more like double or even triple that, but I changed my login email address several years ago.

I seriously thought some of you long-timers had me beat. I joined the board in January '05.

i did go away for awhile. ned has to be tops, no?

I'd put bets on Ned

5, 785 messages. Many of them drunk posts, but I hope my main points have come across.

I love the lot of you

I'm pretty surprised that I'm closing in on 20k posts. I don't generally feel like I have much to say.

i have nothing to say and i've said it 32,000 times

I’m at less than 10k but this is my… fourth username

I've just crossed 30K this past week. Was always a little curious if that counts my whole 21 years here, or did it get zeroed during the big site reset of the late '00s?

If that's indeed my actual total, I assume it was goosed significantly by running four ILM artist polls, two different decade film polls on ILE, plus many posts on the Eagles listening thread and the CVS obscure singles thread.

posting 57,323 messages works out to like seven per day over 21+ years, which is rather more than i'd have thought. apologies

44,416 in 15 years, 1 month (exactly) = just over eight per day. You're all about counting stats; I'm a rate-stat guy.

46K in 19 years (iirc)
i am at 6.63/day

that sounds...about right?

10775 in 21 yrs ~1.4/day

22,512 is less than I would’ve thought tbh. I changed my name a few times in early years, but I’ve had this one for a long time — 17 years, apparently. There were some years I didn’t post much, tho.

not quite sure how to feel about posting on ilx very possibly being my life's work

You have posted 20,860 messages

25,338 messages. I've had this account since 2010 but I've been posting since 2002. I'm sure most of my early posts weren't tracked since proper accounts didn't become a thing till years after I joined

16,817 in 19 years, maybe twice a day?

i have to figure at least half of my 80,000 are pictures and youtube links. sorry, everybody.

wait how do you find this figure again? i missed it and can't seem to figure it out on my own lol.

*Sigh*

1....2....

21,793--

i was active from 2006-2011, then again from 2019-present. About 6 posts per day during that time, which is about right on average, as some days i don't post at all and some days i post like a maniac.

94,672 messages and this has not been my only login

i think i'm slowing down tho, give it another 20 years and i'll probably shut up altogether

another 20 years and i'll probably be dead
