Convo moved on so we don’t have to get into whether people do in fact remember the year 2016 in a discussion of US politics

this fucking cowardly thread

where is the part upthread where i yell at everyone for being cowards on this thread and compare everyone to being snickering smartasses in the balcony

Not there, you were going to yell at everyone but reconsidered
― coetzee.cx (wins), Friday, 31 August 2018 18:30 (five years ago) link
sorry wins, i'm in a terrible mood. i like you and don't think you're a coward. i don't mind this thread. i read it.

but to wins, to "mind the thread" would no doubt entail noticing the thread, reading it, and not falling into it

No offence taken km! fwiw my one post in that thread was on your side of the argument, and the convo did move on but also I remembered that I’m much happier occasionally lurking that thread than posting to it - I just found funny the idea that “it’s easy to forget” the one year that US political discourse is notoriously stuck on. Wasn’t having a go at anyone
― coetzee.cx (wins), Friday, 31 August 2018 18:42 (five years ago) link
yeah, i know. sorry you got caught in my weird rageslip there, it really wasn't directed at you, you were just there. there's more going on with me than this thread or that thread, which is true of all of us, of course, but i'm just a fucking maniac sometimes lately. but yeah. outside! the world! i am going to go step into it for a moment and buy groceries.

I think we're all stressed out about life in this administration and we're all reacting in our own ways to it.
Much love KM

I think that's Tombot on the left and Old Lunch on the right, but I'm not certain.

I resent the accusation of snickering, I would never
― Paleo Weltschmerz (El Tomboto), Saturday, 1 September 2018 05:29 (five years ago) link
Yes, the notion that, say, I may have been kicked out of multiple classes for excessive snickering as a lad and am likely to perpetuate that behavior well into my dotage is simply ludicrous, and also offensive. And hurtful. And just plain mean.

having slept on it i am actually _more_ offended by milo's claim that being driven crazy by donald trump is somehow morally equivalent to being so racist that merely having a black man as american president causes one to go insane. i'd indignantly demand an apology but it's a new month, the old thread was locked, and i don't want to be the one who turns the new thread to shit.

i'm not trying to be dismissive, but i feel like your interpretation of others' reactions is wrong and that most people here probably like you but the "house style" of ilx is just kind of blunt and argumentative
