I would have EXCELSIORS with all this ILXors (phase 2 for the nu year)

I think this 'creepy' thing is exaggerated and abused as a term too often now. All too convenient. Perhaps attempts to flirt or even just attempts at humour/ice-breaking only get judged as creepy when there is not mutual attraction (not limited to sexual attraction....actually I feel pretty creepy right now just typing 'sexual attraction', DAMMIT). OR they are misjudged badly in the first place (easy to misjudge when trying to talk to people you don't really know), suggesting the person is socially inept or, if you will, AN CREEP. But it's interesting if you don't know what the person looks like (maybe more interesting if you do).

Thinking too much about something/someone tends to be judged creepy it seems. And being too readily open about personal matters, I guess.

But if ILXors never want to be told how pretty they are by people they don't necessarily know, why the hell is there a WDYLL thread every freakin month? Perhaps that thread concept is inherently 'creepy' itself? Or at least the way it pans out is. Perhaps not. I keep looking at it anyway, as do many others. It's one thing for someone to compliment you on relatively superficial level ("u r hott") every now and then. I would've thought it only becomes creepy when they KEEP doing it, building it up to a obsessive level - no matter how playful it's intended.

I don't really mind when these threads get derailed because it's otherwise only quotes people found funny, so not that big a deal.

only 3 options on ILX now:

1) creepy
2) obnoxious
3) boring

i guess you can mix and match for the occasion tho

tuomas i know he doesnt look like the black people you're used to seeing in tintin but i can assure you dangermouse is a black dude

yeah that was my first try, it was on @ friend's account and neither of us really knew how to do anything but i found this flamingo and i copied it and made it really big and aqua and then i put it on top of my friend's house made out of american flags to block people's view of the strip club next door but then when i teleported the flamingo was following me so i was the guy who had a huge aqua flamingo flowing him around while we were looking to buy a penis and we ended up at this sex mall and this message kept playing build it good, make it sexy then we met this guy called the utopia urchin perks lancaster - it was pretty sweet.

Bullshit. I don't think anyone wished death on you. You were unpleasant, couldn't handle being disagreed with and incapable of engaging with anyone. Dan gave you countless chances to explain yourself or calm down, even TOM BOT was patient! Any disagreement led to you blowing up and attacking all and sundry on the thread. You lack common sense, manners and any kind of restraint.

I would have MEDIOCRIOR with all this ILXors
