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

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Friday, 17 August 2018 18:47 (five years ago) link

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

ban darraghmac

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

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)

Lol once?

I argue w ppl a lot but I can’t even think of an occasion where it wasn’t me against the world more than me joining in on bullying another ilxor ... I swear you guys don’t remember what this board was actually like or who was actually doing the bullying

that’s how I feel when the elders of ilx pretend they’ve got credibility as voices of moral responsibility

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 17 August 2018 22:29 (five years ago) link

oh the wren oh the wren is the king of all birds

the elders dont talk to us directly anymore iirc

When I think of patriarchal dork bro reigns of terror I definitely envision ilx’s bisexual ringtone cru

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 17 August 2018 22:35 (five years ago) link

lol

if we're talking about ilx history, I don't feel like D-40 has ganged up on other people so much as he's been ganged up on

Dan S, Friday, 17 August 2018 22:37 (five years ago) link

Lol what is the bisexual ringtone cru?

Trϵϵship, Friday, 17 August 2018 22:38 (five years ago) link

Is that u and a cru?

that’s how I feel when the elders of ilx pretend they’ve got credibility as voices of moral responsibility

deej, I have just exactly as much credibility as each ilxor thinks I have earned and I have no control over that. I do have a voice here and I use it when where and as I please. as for pretense, I don't see where the fuck it comes in.

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 17 August 2018 23:03 (five years ago) link

confession: there are ~4 posters here ( I can't tell them apart) that I consider to be one monolithic writing team trying to work out a script an Inbetweeners revival. I usually skip over those posts because I feel like I am having a stroke trying to parse out what is going on.
