xp — I’m not irritated, more confused and unsure how to respond or what tone it is

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:01 (five years ago) link

kwtherine i get that

but if you get to the stage where all posters starg to look the same to you, and its all negative, theres not a lot can be done about that from my end is there

ive spent most of the day engaging with you fairly pleasantly imo, quite a bit of it on the history of flag posting, a favoured topic of mine. why youd then lump.me in with whatever cadre you blame for spoiling yr day, idk, but its not my issue tbh

Is yerac being sarcastic?

F# A# (∞), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link

Nobody on ILX has ever been sarcastic, as far as I’ve noticed

faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:04 (five years ago) link

No, not really. It probably doesn't help either that people call posters by their old login names so I can't tell who is who anymore. What thread is the thread in question anyway.

Yerac, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:05 (five years ago) link

agree

but I do agree with darraghmac that he has engaged in good faith

Well nobody knows how to spell or pronounce Shakey’s new DN

...i tend to treat yerac posts as pulling ilxs leg tbh

i try not to let it irritate me either!

also shes been extraordinarily nice on my backpacking thread

ilxors (self included) in general are rly good if their egos allow them not to need to understand everything, or not to presume what they dont understand is negative, and even if ut was it probly wasnt for them.

i mean sometimes it is too but lookit its a busyish board and we are gonna bump against each other but id buy most of ye a drink the other side of it like

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link

xping like crazy here bloody phone

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link

if you're having trouble keeping track of names, i recommend starting a .xls

also there is a search function available if you'd like to understand which threads a poster has been active in recently.

^cryptic

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:09 (five years ago) link

darragh is fine here. Some other places it's the fucking moops.

xpost and oh yeah, I am extraordinarily dry, mean and sarcastic in real life, but also really nice, calm and fair in real life too. And I totally troll white men because they are so absolutely easy.

Yerac, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:10 (five years ago) link

the moops

now that is cryptic

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:11 (five years ago) link

Crazy Rich Asians is a movie with Awkafina

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:11 (five years ago) link

Dan S, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:12 (five years ago) link

The moops are a defined word.

Yerac, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:13 (five years ago) link

What's a moop

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:14 (five years ago) link

You can't call me a moop

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:14 (five years ago) link

Not much what’s a moop witchoo

faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:15 (five years ago) link

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:15 (five years ago) link

Feldsplaining ugh

fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:16 (five years ago) link

It also means morning poops induced by heavy coffee drinking but...go with god.

Yerac, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:18 (five years ago) link

xp — neanderthal I know what the movie is, that was not what I was referring to

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:19 (five years ago) link

well

im glad my inbetweener-level discourse is getting elevated im sure

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:19 (five years ago) link

honestly i had no idea what darragh was saying when i started posting but it added to the mystery of this place

Trϵϵship, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:31 (five years ago) link

dont kid yrself youre as questionmarkface as all these other moops

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:32 (five years ago) link

i'm an open book

Trϵϵship, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:33 (five years ago) link

one of the large type ones

Trϵϵship, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:34 (five years ago) link

i meant ito understanding the gibberish im apparently famous for eh

flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:39 (five years ago) link

darragh is the very model of concision and clarity

faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:40 (five years ago) link

I’m probably the most gibberish poster, a third of my posts are garbled allusions to things I haven’t read.

faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:43 (five years ago) link

This thread is starting to feel like

Melted Belts, Priced To Move (Old Lunch), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:43 (five years ago) link

that is definitely not confined to this thread

The more I resemble a shoddy chatbot the better I’m doing.

faculty w1fe (silby), Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:48 (five years ago) link

singularity bro

Trϵϵship, Saturday, 18 August 2018 01:51 (five years ago) link

I have not read through this revive tbh but I’d just like to say that I am truly sorry for seeming to have caused all of this. my intent was really not to diss katherine, whom I respect, but rather to focus the 1975 thread on what I felt was a more productive direction. the thread has been notably trolled by turrican for years and I perhaps carelessly (and certainly imprecisely) lumped katherine in with him based on a review of hers that was posted to the thread (by another poster!) that tbh I felt was weakly reasoned and not worth engaging. I think the dogpile that ensued was pretty gross and again I am sorry for seeming to have caused it

k3vin k., Saturday, 18 August 2018 02:36 (five years ago) link

I still understand why ppl think dmacs talking gibberish

Weird trolling goin on here rn

F# A# (∞), Saturday, 18 August 2018 02:45 (five years ago) link

Dont

moopiepoops

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 August 2018 03:02 (five years ago) link

a) the apology is appreciated, thanks

b) the thing about being confused was not trolling, it was sincere.

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 18 August 2018 03:05 (five years ago) link

"moops" seems kind of offensive to me, especially if we're going with the seinfeld def

Trϵϵship, Saturday, 18 August 2018 03:07 (five years ago) link

Poop poodoo poop poop

Poop poop
