I mean, I'm going to have to actively worry about it for at least this weekend, for reasons I don't really want to get into

I do not think anyone is "a pathetic asshole" based on posts on this board.

I used to like browsing ilxor. I still do but I used to as well.

anyway, katherine, justine is otm here (also Granny and maura) - hope you can go and sit in the sun in a park with an IRL person, or pat a wandering cat, or something, and try and gradually let this recede. but pouring more words into this dumb white box is really not going to help the situation you fear or your perspective on it.

asking deej to disengage in an ilx music-argument-turned-moratorium-on-identity has worked in the past. but only twice so far, out of 976 cases.

speaking of insane its wild how im now ilx's bad apple lmfao remember when me jordan & kevin keller were accused of having 'no personality'

there hasn't even been any direct bullying in this entire ordeal, old ilx would have eaten this alive but nu ilx sternly reprimands three what were for most of its history relatively innocuous posters

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Trϵϵship, Friday, 17 August 2018 18:39 (five years ago) link

I don't recall ever saying anyone had "no personality"?

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link

there was a whole chaki thread about it

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link

and I don't know, the takeaway from this increasingly seems to be "please shut up and take it while other people yell at you"

it does not bother me

this wasnt about me, it was about ilx's radically shifting mores

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:41 (five years ago) link

xp I don't know who or what a "chaki" is but I don't remember saying that any person had "no personality"

No one said you did

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:43 (five years ago) link

ok, apologies, I just got confused because those three posters were the primary posters in the 1975 thread at the time

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link

it's very rude to actual real life trolls to associate them with this behavior, all they want to do is live under bridges and eat goats

akm, Friday, 17 August 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link

I mean, I feel like that if I have to stop responding to questions or comments directed at me, it is equally reasonable that people stop shitposting about it, and I genuinely don't understand why the former is worse than the latter

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:46 (five years ago) link

katherine you will i hope forgive that im surprised/dubious that this has all struck you all a sudden after years on ilx tbh

He is a-topping it on a weekly basis

Frederik B, Friday, 17 August 2018 18:47 (five years ago) link

the thing is, in other arguments, I can see how they happened because I posted in the thread. this was not a result of something I posted in a thread but something I wrote on an entirely different website, that I did not solicit an argument on

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:48 (five years ago) link

OK, drawing another line. No one post underneath this line. Thank you.

and again, nobody is saying you have to stop posting about it, just that it may be wise for you to do so.

not many are going to suggest actually stopping anyone else discussing what you posted publicly about a band id imagine

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:48 (five years ago) link

whats this weird line thing, i--oh sorry

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:51 (five years ago) link

People are suggesting it because

1. It may be beneficial to your sense of well-being

2. It's one less source of oxygen for a played out argument you claim you'd like to see end.

It 8s not being suggested because they don't want you posting here.

the same could be said for virtually all of the past few posts

Except those posters haven't said repeatedly that this argument is ruining their day and they want it to stop asap.

Probably should ditch the line next time and just go for a spikestrip.

sarahell, Friday, 17 August 2018 19:36 (five years ago) link

also, I just want to state, for the record, katherine is cool, and too many femme posters have bailed on ilx because of dork-bro posters like ... well, we know who they are

sarahell, Friday, 17 August 2018 19:43 (five years ago) link

agree and co-sign

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 17 August 2018 19:51 (five years ago) link

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 17 August 2018 21:13 (five years ago) link

(I'm supposed to be writing a review of it but I haven't been able to concentrate on anything all day, and I'm also worried that the review is going to be pulled because all of this)

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 17 August 2018 21:13 (five years ago) link

(so no, I can't just not care about it, because I still have that worry hanging over me, as well as the worry that my boss is going to fire me for being visibly upset at my desk)
