should ilxors be tempbanned for taking their beefs to other social media? (twitter/fbook/myspace/etc)?

forks humor injection

i just want to understaaaaanddd

Sorry. I think I may have a low tolerance for "sacking" because it reminds me of a particular breed of douche I went to college with for the first couple of years.

did they sing all-male choral music in 2-part to 10-part arrangements, too? because if so, I was also one of those douches ;_;

Naw, trust me. Nothing like 'em.

djp, a very specific type of douche

move over, Summer's Eve

hacker's sack

so everyone has noticed that Mordy's "death of the author" comment was pretty much pro-WCC in that it's a ref to separating textual content from the original author's intent? Like, no implications to the original author.

Kind of killing me that it was basically putting forth an argument that the thread contents were in no way indicative of the originator's train of thought, and it was taken the exact opposite way

I'm mostly just scared for this author Mordy apparently plans to murder.

just because an author dies doesnt mean its murder, it could be an accident hint hint

is that a threat?

what's great is that in intepreting mordy's comments as being threatening, that's some reverse death of the author shit

resurrection of the author

i think that WCC's characterization of Mordy as "mansplaining" originated in a number of other threads, and as a result of past behavior, she interpreted his behavior in the button thread as following that pattern.

past interactions do color one's perceptions of current interactions, right? that is a pretty common phenomenon?

I don't know that it necessarily completely erodes reading comprehension, though.

all of our posts are independent works of art that should be read w/o consideration of the author's behavior

at least thats how I approach ilx

^that post gets a 5.2

and i hope that all the lols at WCC's misunderstanding of Mordy's death of the author reference aren't of the "omg she is crazy and stupid" variety, and are more of the, "what a disaster for communication!" type, because the former comes across as a bit smug and snobby imo

i put it more in the category of 'seeing what you want to'

^

probably had something to do with the unique mordy-colored glasses she was wearing ie everything he says is mansplaining/etc

forgets to take those glasses off sometimes

all the lols at WCC's misunderstanding of Mordy's death of the author reference

it was an extreme example of how ~everything~ is about her

fyi the first post on my fb feed today was a link to a mansplaining tumblr

did we make it?

no, it was not by an ilxor, though the person who posted it is friends with a couple other ilxors, none of whom were involved in this recent incident or threads about it

you see sarah tumblr is a little bit of a social network a little bit a blog, kind of like blogspot crossed w/facebook, do you get it now

wish i could travel back in time 10 years and casually drop the phrase "mansplaining tumblr" into a conversation

xp - you are one of the most consistently funny posters, dude.

*bows*

yeah lagoon you kinda rule fyi

wish i could travel back in time 10 years and casually drop the phrase "mansplaining tumblr" into a conversation

I would add iPad to that sentence too.

iPad still makes me think of a personalized menstrual product tbh

well you see sarah, an iPad is not really personalized

you can get your menstrual product engraved fyi

menstrual tablet ugh

ilxors should be tempbanned for lots of things. temp bans aren't used enough.

it's three days away from ilx, it's not a big deal

to summarize, mods should be tempbanning people on a daily basis

random ilx holiday for u! you could be a winner

menstrual tablet ugh

I take menstrual tablets to deal with the paaaain

Yeah, was gonna say that, assuming we weren't talking about strapping a notebook to your vag, this is already a thing.

actually we are talking about strapping a notebook to your vag

You know, I don't think the retina display would improve the experience.

to summarize, mods should be tempbanning people on a daily basis
