I have no idea what any of this is about, but this seems to be a rough month for ILX in general. I know I've been moody as fuck lately and I imagine a lot of you have as well. Probably has something to do with seeing the end of Covid apparently within touching distance but not knowing when we'll get there. I'm trying to ease off on my internet consumption lately, and I approve of anyone giving themselves a mental health break from ILX and/or the internet if they need to. That said, Neanderthal, you're great, and I hope you don't leave for good.

Echoing Lily Dale, I really hope Neanderthal doesn't leave. He's a good source of levity and humor around here, which is in short supply as of late. But I also know COVID overload is wreaking havoc with people's temperaments and mental health, so I can understand the need for a break.

Everyone is hypersensitive atm or hyperpeevish or perhaps even vacillating between those states with an occasional stopover in hypersadland or hyperblitzedville. In short, we're all varying degrees of A Mess right now so it doesn't hurt to strive for kindness. Also, PS, Neanderthal (and anyone else who needs it) is allowed to take a break but not allowed to leave. It is forbidden.

Is this really about the "Songs About Farting" thread?? It's not taking anything away from any other threads, y'know, it's just people whiling away their time.

sarahell was wrong, i wasn't complaining about the bumping of the modreq thread at all! if anything i entered the bump to cleebrate a classic estela post. the original thread had been good knockabout fun except for the bit where my abusive and vile ex-wife commandeered my account to abuse sarahell and Whiney reposted it in, which sarahell obviously saw again this time around and was affected by (am still sorry I let her do that ngl), but yeah I had just been having a bit of a snipe at the farting thread and all it took was for comrade gyac to join in and yerman here had another episode
― imago, Monday, 22 March 2021 18:11 (three years ago) link
btw so we're completely clear, my abusive and vile ex-wife is NOT the same as my delightful and perceptive ex-gf tt who still posts here, be nice to her

Oof, that's some history. I could understand why that would lead to grief, but... this IS mostly about the farting songs thread, it seems.
I can't seem to find the button on the admin menu that gives me mod powers of "bang posters' heads together and get them to play nice". Everyone's having a tough time right now and this just seems silly to have a blow-out over.
― emil.y, Monday, 22 March 2021 18:19 (three years ago) link
I must be really naïve because I got the impression that everyone was feeling chiller on ILX lately and that the more controversy-happy posters had either left or mellowed out.

re: ilxors having a rough one this month
one thing everyone should keep in mind, not just this month, but always, is that people always have a lot more going on than they share. That may be relatively untrue for me, because i've been oversharing about the hell i'm in for about a month now. but even then, trust me, you're only getting like the most palatable 10% of what i'm dealing with. knowing just a tiny bit about neanderthal's life, i know enough to know that there is a lot more going on. so maybe cut everybody a break

Also worth noting particularly at this time that if you're inclined to be all 'aw, toughen up!' towards someone here, it could be that they've used up all their toughenin' on matters of more consequence and are here just to relax + blow off steam so when you have a go at them, it stings a little more than it might in other venues.
