[ADMIN] Meta bitching - enough.

Aw, man.

TH, haha, some things are impolitic for the object of discussion to bring up without looking like a pedant.

Mods are really only able to take action over stuff that appears on ILX; by registering here we all agree to submit to that authority no matter how much a poster wants to thcweam and thcweam otherwise. Harking back to the time someone wanted to publish threads in a book, our learned friends of ILX, Esq. noted there were IP rights issues involved in republishing contributors' comments/submissions elsewhere in the public domain without permission. We do not waive these rights when we post to ILX. Nor do we waive protection from the spectrum of defamation outside the boards if for some bizarre reason someone decides to engage in what any reasonable person would consider off-board abuse of a private figure. Only a handful of posters here would be considered past the 'public figure' threshhold for having to put up with this (hint: they're all musicians).

So mind how you go.

"thcweam"?

Fudd for "scream", cleverly implying that the discontented are of middling intelligence because of their speech "issues".

violet-elizabeth tombott

google "violet elizabeth bott", forks. It's a ref to a spoiled, priviledged character from a series of brit children's stories. I guess it's not that well-known a meme in the st8s, maybe?

Ah! Ever so clever!

nb was not implying anything about tom beyond the sound-matchup.

Well, I don't see anyone disagreeing with the substantive points in the post. Yet the night is young.

I don't feel protected enough from defamation on this board.

Suzy, I'd like to take this time to tell you that I like you and did not make that thread to try and annoy you or HARass you, and I respect your right to have it removed. I am not a (card-carrying) member of any (currently operative) zing crÜs. "I was just trying to be funny," but I understand your reaction to it.

aw

you always hurt the one you love

ok wtf

did that get deleted!?

??

great thread

^^ the post that had... oh fuck it.

this place is losing its edge

is chaki or a sockpuppet of his back yet?

chaki is banned ;_;

I really hate it when people wake up threads they don't think are great to very originally say "great thread."

great post

nu-'freedom to shut the fuck up' ilx at work, great stuff.

he's blunt but he has a point

haw haw!! good one

x-post -- No he doesn't.

I still think this thread was pointless. Should have been a closed thread so noone could comment on it. I mean, what did it do? An endless amount of comments and not that much difference in attitude, really. Not that it really should. I mean at the end of the day isn't it a bit DUH if you say that as a mod you have the power to delete/ban or whatever?

If "DON'T BE A DICK" policy refers to super-creepy liable stalker bullshit only, then how come Tombot keeps bringing it up on threads where dudes cry about people being mean and other dudes tell them to harden the fuck up?

because the "other dudes" in question are basically meta troll shitbags 99% of the time

and really tiresome besides

kind of like whatever schtick you're copping

aaaaaaannnnnd
