and tbh if you read someone 'talking shit' about you on 77 and instead of posting a response saying 'hey guys this was 8 years ago, haha it was a joke, we all have posts like this' you just straight up quit... idk what to tell you. sometimes you have to respond to ppl if you don't agree with or like what they are saying about you
― jordy (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:17 (fifteen years ago) link
J0rdan you're saying Vic should be OK with people saying homophobic racist stuff behind his back and should be offering up the excuses for them himself? also, nobody is describing 77 the way you claim they are. they're saying "yup, have a secret board, ppl are gonna occasionally talk hateful garbage behind people's backs, and that's bullshit even if it's not the way things are much of the time," so you can quit claiming people are mischaracterizing 77, 'cause they're not.

"wow that was scorching hateful stuff that guy was saying about me when I wasn't there...guess he must have been havin' a bad day!"
― J0hn D., Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Wait, I think his main point was that stuff like ^ approx. 1% of what happened on the board.
― roxymuzak, Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link
john this is my point, and it's larger than what happened to vic: 77, to vic (to use this situation as an example), is not a private board. he can see it, therefore it's the equivalent to all the sub-boards, and on lots of the sub-boards, including 1p3, ITR (playground of such moral stalwarts as john justen and dan perry) and the noize board, ppl talk about other ppl on the board in a meta way that some might call 'shit talk'. so for 77 - and it's core posters, me included - to be taking this amount of shit from ppl, esp elder posters, is just wrong imo.
and it's my personal opinion, as someone who was ragged on unmercifully when i started posting on ilx, that it's best to respond and weather the storm than to quit. but, that's just my opinion. (not that im condoning tom's pretty awful post)
― jordy (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:34 (fifteen years ago) link
It is actually unlawful on 1p3 to rain on people's parades, for what it's worth.
― roxymuzak, Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:35 (fifteen years ago) link
um how about the popular thread "not really loving" for instance
― jordy (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link
People on that thread? Are people who don't throw parades.
― roxymuzak, Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:37 (fifteen years ago) link
I mean sorry we don't REALLY LOVE everybody. The pressure!
― roxymuzak, Saturday, 31 January 2009 22:38 (fifteen years ago) link
which I totally acknowledge. I am not saying ppl were in there bein' dicks all the time. I am a little - OK, being me, a lot - dismayed that when an attack that off-the-charts was launched, the board-culture response was "well, consider the source" instead of "fucking whoa: that is unacceptable." Ragged on is one thing - the quoted bit is beyond the pale imo. I know what it's like to get ragged on, I'm cool with it & invite it plenty of the time, but dragging people's sexuality & race into the insults is the sort of thing I would hope somebody would go "fuckin' wait a minute" about.

john u should read the thread before you start throwing out weighty accusations like "homophobe" and "racist"

I think maybe the race/sexuality-baiting part of that might have been under the radar for a lot of people, actually. It's not exactly explicit. I don't love that post at all, but I bet that/those aspects of that it were not apparent to most people -- for whatever reason. I think if it had been explicitly hateful in that/those manner(s), there would have been quite a different response. Gabbneb gets shit for being racist for saying some pretty lighthearted/borderline shit on 77 (though I do acknowledge that 'neb gets shit pretty much 94 hours a day everywhere), for example.

dang max you robbed me of another patented j0hn d. self-righteous response!!

I mean, I can't see the racist aspect of it, to be completely honest. The other half, I get you.

Ok, I thought the "hindu" part of the post was some "lol, you are a religion tourist" kinda jab. I didn't get it, but I know fuck-all about Vich except that he posts on the tarot thread. Yeah, that post is pretty much 100% fucked actually.
