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

Dammit, I did not need to see that.

Just realized there's a typo on the thread title.

Which is fitting.

Maybe, I've got no speakers hooked up right now.

I think you're all naive.

Timing of joke off. And

Doesn't seem passive aggressive.

i was gonna post on that glenn beck thread that i wished glenn beck would die, but then i kept thinking about how mean that is. plus, i may have already posted that on the glenn beck thread in the past.

I'm about to call my mother to ask her about Glenn Beck. I know she has his Christmas book, but I just want to know. She's a smart lady.

I was gonna post on the '"500 Days of Summer" thread that I thought it would make a good back story for Cobra Commander, but I didn't feel like searching for the thread, coz what if someone already made the comment? I'd have to do 'edit' 'find' 'cobra', and display all posts. So, I posted it on facebook anyway.

I bet no one made that joke, but, wait, are they both played by the same actor or something? Because if so, maybe someone did.

As ilxors we should just collectively stop discussing hype.

Why does this old thread consistently make it onto most read threads?

although my "plus" would have been, "that would just make him a martyr for assholes."

If this becomes a thread connection, I will probably not post it

11. barely able to driver's head above steering wheel

barely able to see

I have been thinking it is October for a few days now.

why is that thread constantly in the most read threads list?

I don't know? It's got a woman in the title, but it's two years old and the reads are on-site reads. It doesn't make sense. The simpsons porn one only partly makes sense, but a lot of those reads are site reads too. Wait, I get that one, because it persists because of the most read threads page working in concert with google hits. But the other one with the girl I just don't get, unless it's a lesser version of the same phenomenon.

i just wonder if it's some quirk in the system. it's always there.

Those famous Unabomber types

oh, this is actually not a thread about the suggest ban system

I have had it up to here waiting for the Fingerhut catalogue to be remastered.

Fact: www.dhmo.org is a website dedicated to that stupid joke your chemistry teacher makes in high school about dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) being the most abundant, potentially dangerous chemical in the world.

Fact: according to double top-secret web analytics I saw for epa.g0v today, the number two referrer to EPA's website in the past 3 months was www.dhmo.org, and it's been in the top 5 for the past year.

i wish this thread was locked because i totally feel like this now.

like what

xp - like the subject of a thread i had second thoughts about posting on that was a serious clusterfuck.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about bands I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

yeah - i hear you on that one.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about Picthfork, I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

I always like going on the Pitchfork thread because it makes other people who allegedly don't read it cry.

?

talking about the "omg ppl are talking about Pitchfork, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" contingent

xxp - do you talk about provates or something?

oh. that's me, sometimes, too. i mean, i can't restrain myself and i should

Provates--their new album is great, much improved over that EP last year

kinda feel like derailing LJ's epic poll thread and protest vehemently that he should have included track 6 from the last Provates album.

Wait was the Neil

what? I didn't catch that. But my hearing's been for shit since I was a kid.

100 miles isn't really very far - there are people out here that commute that distance to work every day.

'shut up'

;)

ha - that is my US-centric view of things.

pennyroyal

I said basically the same thing when I got a ticket for not having my headlights on over the weekend driving my mom's truck.

i wouldn't mind being a mod, actually.

No it’s not directed at you. It was a direct response to the comment above you.

Above mine!

Honestly considering how frequently you need to make shitty posts about his shitty posts… idk maybe follow an ilx tradition and make a separate thread for pointing out his shitty posts, because your vendetta is tedious at this point

You could even poll them!!!

That’s a weird thing for someone who sent me a load of messages about their decade plus old grudge about said person to say. On the subject of tedious grudges, killfile me will you? Thanks.

Keep making your anger everyone else’s responsibility to deal with! Really kind of you

I don’t care about your need to follow me around and try to mention me or draw my attention to me in some way. Just so you know, the post I responded to was unperson mocking Left for Left being upset about the cavalier response of some posters to writing a recommendation for a friend’s zine that contained a photo of a toddler being raped. But yes. Very irrational and bad thing for me to get angry about. How shameful.

In any case, enough. Catch this block and find someone else to follow.

Lol I have been posting here longer than you, and I was one of the people who started this thread that you are claiming I am following you around on?

The main reason I brought this up to you, is that you felt it necessary to point out the tedium of xyzzz/lj beef in re UK politics, and I am just saying that your beef w unperson has reached a similar level here.

While you have assumed the mantle of Branwell in many ways, they were an OG and you are not that.

"but given that you kinda haven't ever acknowledged me or other gay or queer posters on this board"

i still wish i knew what this meant. its been bugging me. i don't want to feel like i've been excluding or ignoring people. have i been? i don't always know who is queer or even who is who on here. i don't remember everyone's story. is that terrible? it kinda becomes one person to me. the ilx person. i think i respond to people if they ask me a question or start a conversation with me. i can be rude though maybe. when i post its to everyone! not anyone in particular.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

i definitely know that you are a transgender woman, kate! i admire and enjoy your posts and i always learn something from them.

― scott seward

i was kind of self-deprecating a little with that, which i try not to do overall. i guess technically me talking about my lived experience is a form of political activism, but from my perspective i'm an autistic girl who never shuts up about her special interest

speaking of which i saw another funny bumper sticker today

"my puppygirl can beat up your honor student"

-

anyway, 13,668 messages. sounds about right. i don't know how long i've been here, though, and i'm not sure how to find out.

-

do ilx beefs have beef detectives? i think "beef detective" sounds like a fun job title. i wouldn't want to be one, though.

what i like about ilx is that i can find people my age here. i was at transfem brunch today and i told someone i was 48 and asked "how old do you think i am?", and she said she thought i was older. she's pretty young and also extremely autistic, like, clearly doesn't get social cues. when we were outside after the brunch i asked her about a youtube channel she followed that i'd never heard of and she asked me if i'd seen a certain meme from the channel, and acted out the meme very loudly and enthusiastically. it was a bit about shadow the hedgehog that sounded like something lenny bruce would say about shadow the hedgehog. a lot of stuff about shadow the hedgehog's cock. i'm not really embarrassed about stuff like that but my qpp, who was there with me, was. for the record, i haven't seen that particular meme, even though i've seen a fair number of memes.

anyway sometimes people will say things here that i can't relate to at all, but y'all can talk to a part of my life that i don't have much opportunity to socially express elsewhere. it's this or facebook, and honestly, whatever beefs people here have, ilx isn't built on systematically monetizing the cycle of abuse. i like being here. it's kind of a wistful experience, because it does get smaller year by year. i'm very aware of the impermanence of this place. i value it a lot now, though, value the people here now.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

fwiw i totally get how you got that conclusion. people are always finding all kinds of ways of disingenuous and nasty ways to be hostile to queer people, ways that aren't necessarily obvious to most folks. it's hard for me to know when somebody's doing that or when i'm reading too much into things. if you do read this, i think highly of you and i really like how you acknowledged and took responsibility for your unintentional mistake. that's really fucking hard to do.

as far as thinking the joke was hostile, i have a long history here of reading hostility into interactions that just isn't there. i'm getting better about understanding that actual hostility here is very rare and posting accordingly. i hedged in that post which should have been a sign that i wasn't responding in the best way. anyway, i think i've changed pretty substantially in a good way--i know by increased good feeling i get from others here. i'm grateful to have this place as somewhere i can feel comfortable and learn a lot from. ya'll are very kind and fascinating in the best sense.

xp thanks kate!

I am on nearly 55k which seems low. My ilx login email doesn't work anymore and I wonder...really should be on 100k

^how not to show up on the ILX Milk Carton thread

You have posted 21,446 messages

It's probably more like double or even triple that, but I changed my login email address several years ago.

I seriously thought some of you long-timers had me beat. I joined the board in January '05.

i did go away for awhile. ned has to be tops, no?

I'd put bets on Ned

5, 785 messages. Many of them drunk posts, but I hope my main points have come across.

I love the lot of you

I'm pretty surprised that I'm closing in on 20k posts. I don't generally feel like I have much to say.

i have nothing to say and i've said it 32,000 times

I’m at less than 10k but this is my… fourth username

I've just crossed 30K this past week. Was always a little curious if that counts my whole 21 years here, or did it get zeroed during the big site reset of the late '00s?

If that's indeed my actual total, I assume it was goosed significantly by running four ILM artist polls, two different decade film polls on ILE, plus many posts on the Eagles listening thread and the CVS obscure singles thread.

posting 57,323 messages works out to like seven per day over 21+ years, which is rather more than i'd have thought. apologies

44,416 in 15 years, 1 month (exactly) = just over eight per day. You're all about counting stats; I'm a rate-stat guy.

46K in 19 years (iirc)
i am at 6.63/day

that sounds...about right?

10775 in 21 yrs ~1.4/day
