Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

to the best of my knowledge you don't have people showing you that level of hostility so I would trade places in an instant

JoeDork morelike!

man fuck joestork for reals

joe you can still come into the lads thread tho

owned

half an hour of xposts:

again, why is the burden on me to leave a community where I enjoy discussing music and other topics, when I haven't done anything to be hostile to others

if you just talk about music and other topics and not about how one or two ppl perceive you, you can enjoy discussing music and other topics

nerds on here like talking about music, and you have interesting perspectives that are enjoyable to read

imago is accurate that he spent literal years here blowing up unrelated threads into referenda on his own posting style and board personality. absolutely nobody* hates him for talking about music he likes and films he watches and food he eats and birds he spots, despite literal years of ppl telling him he was making discussion impossible when he wanted to talk about whether people hated him or not.

everyone** here understands what it's like to feel beleaguered in an online argument and to inaccurately believe that it matters if they don't stay involved and make their case repeatedly. when ppl advise dropping a bugbear, or avoiding a thread, or going afk and sitting in the park and looking at squirrels, it's because they think you will be happier and have a better time here generally, and wish that for you, not because they want you to shut up and leave.


*guarantee not valid where legally prohibited

** this one too

^end of discussion

actually do you hate me these days just kidding just kidding

but rea-

I mean at this point it's more like how 20 people perceive me. and that's just the people posting, god knows how the people who aren't posting perceive me, but I doubt it's favorable given the one-sidedness of this

I like you, so stick around. Everyone else is being way more butthurt than you.

ilxors who almost make u wanna go homo

When I was banned from ILX I wrote a long document to my computer that was a thorough summary of what happened and what things were supposed to mean when I posted them and individual replies to posts while highlighting all the 2-sided mistakes and misunderstandings along the way. I had a lot of butthurt jabs at several people that only made sense in the grand scheme of things that could only be clarified by reading my long detailed letter.

Nearly 3 years later I rejoined ILX. I deleted that document in the past year. I knew it would be too cringey to read before I deleted it.

Nowadays I keep my ILX personality relatively vanilla and that makes me happy. Whenever drama happens on here I do my best to butt out.

What saved me in the end was my ability to fogetaboutit. I don’t even know who had I had beef with or what even happened. Also my ILX insecurities have waned a bit since I’ve heavy filtered my impulses. I’ve always picture my ILX personality as a narcissistic Nobody but I feel like I’m less narcissistic now. The only times I feel like I wasn’t a nobody was when I chatted with ILXors in DJ chat rooms where we tooks turns queueing up music, when I played online MtG against a couple people here, when someone traveling the country expressed willingness to meet me, and lastly a brief couple of times I had email exchanges. Which is to say that I, without interaction with people outside these threads or without positive feedback, still feel that I’m perceived as a Nobody. But at least I feel like I’m a Nobody that people don’t hate anymore. I don’t hate anyone here and I do picture Katherine as someone that is very sensitive (without even knowing the current beef) but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The moral is that forgetting makes things better and also maybe a lot of other people are nobodys too because I don’t really know any of them. Talking to ILXors outside of these threads really helps on that front even if I haven’t done it in forever.

Oh, and while airing out my dirty laundry I should mention that at one point I somewhat idolized a few ILXors for their popularity or because they are/were cool. I knew I could never live up to that image because I have no connections and I assume thay had many. Since I’m antisocial in real life and I hardly ever get jelly it must mean that I really hold other posters (and ILX in general) in high regard for me to have felt that way; ILXors are not Nobodys ipso facto they are ILXors.

flops u dont need to idolize me but u can buy my book if yre hellbent on it

😎

Is there a ILGlossary for all usernames someone has ever used here?

Yes but u need access to 77

I posted only one time using my real name and I just now did a search for posts by my last name and learned that my brother was briefly an ILXor who also posted only one time using his real name. I wonder if he remembers that happening. Small world. Smaaaaall world.

Whoaaa

He'd be an A+ ILM-er but I don't think he gives much of an eff about the internet, is all.

i started out under my real name because some old school ilxors did that and i thought it was brave but i quickly realized i was not going to be that kind of poster

needed some slack

Dom and I, we brave the internets like real men.

Fav if u remember Treeship’s government name

Hen Fap iirc

(also, me leaving seems like a far more drastic option than people not being hostile)

One is very easy to make happen. One is impossible. Esp when considering your perception of hostile.
