a sublime frequencies call out: how often do you listen to radio palestine, i remember syria, bush taxi mali, etc.

Wow just read the last few posts and yeah the anti-Semitism caught me by surprise and is a major bummer. I guess i should check that Butts thread. The way you guys are talking makes me wonder if this may be another Bimble type situation. I hope not.

Wow! I really hope this guy will be o.k. That is a really odd read. Re: the butts thread

i understand what dude said was kind of alarming and p vile, but is it really possible to care about someone's wellbeing while also instantly excommunicating and shunning them? would it be so bad to unban him and attempt to dialogue?

good question for the moderator request board

Suck my asshole, sleepingbag

Ack, I got into Shiina Ringo years ago because of the ILM thread, which Rudipherous was largely responsible for keeping alive.

he's been posting a long time and his music knowledge is deep; the thing this place has over specialist / focused lists is the ability to cross-reference completely across genre, it's the people who make the connective links between wildly different artists who make the deepest contributions and I hope he's ok

thanks for checking in w/him, Sund4r

is it really possible to care about someone's wellbeing while also instantly excommunicating and shunning them?

yes, as long as lines of communication are kept open

would it be so bad to unban him and attempt to dialogue?

based on past board experiences with M March@nt and burt_stanton and others, I'd say "yes" here

Milton also otm

I haven't heard back from him, fwiw. If anyone is there irl or is in touch with him, maybe you'd want to check in idk?

Thanks for trying Sund4r. Does anyone know his irl name?

Yes, feel free to email for it.

it sucks that this thread went this way as his wake-up post is OTM, I learned Wassouf's music on a long flight last year and it's astonishing stuff.

There is a blog linked in his user profile (if you click on the user name under the post). I'm presuming it's his. There are fresh posts as of today. The antisemitism goes back years. That's as far as I'm going to pursue this.

Christ, it's even worse than I thought.

fuck this arsehole.

there are loads of posters on ILX who are "on the edge". I couldn't care less if this prick decides to take himself out.

I stopped communicating with him a little over a year ago (until yesterday) and am disturbed by the blog's contents but I still FPd you for that.

probably a bit harsh an a rush of blood, but fuck him tbh.

I mean maybe some good folk can harbour International Jewish conspiracies, without being irredeemably shit people. But I've never met any yet.

shame abt the antisemitism and transphobia and homophobia bc he has eclectic taste in music

You might want to put a little NSFW warning here.

Sorry if I came off as overly snarky in my last post but he's given me thinly veiled useless bigot creep vibes forever which I think were actually masked a bit even to myself by his world music expertise. I take his particular brand of bigotry a bit personally and he should never be allowed to return. May he find peace and enlightenment elsewhere.

Dinsdale: Thanks. I've amended the post.

Calzino: for fucks sake man.
