Well, anything we've done before the artists always get paid first, even if we don't get paid at all, which is often the case. It would be a given that we'd carry this on over to apply to writers, poets, film makers etc.

Branwell on stunning form in this thread

i like it when she tells people what they can and cant talk about on a messageboard

It's really amazing how, back in the days of yore, when some IRL shit went down in Nabisco's life, and he said "hey, you know, can you not use that name on the messageboard?" everybody got the message without a song and dance, and people stopped using his name.

It's really amazing how, back in the days of yore, when some crazy googlewhacking shit went down, Donut Bitch asked "hey, you know, can you not use that name on the messageboard?" everybody got the message without a song and dance, and people stopped using his name.

It's really amazing how, about 4 years ago, when some crazy IRL shit went down in my life, and I asked "hey, you know, can you please not use that name on the messageboard?" and somehow this message never gets through, and people continue to act like this is a bizarre and outré and unreasonable request to make, and I am a terrible person for even asking it.

And then the disingenuous "OMG, I have ~no idea~ what I'm supposed to have done wrong!!!" despite being told in the previous post, followed by "take it easy!" (what, you couldn't manage to slip in a "calm down, dear, no offence intended" while you were there?) is just the exact patronising bullshit I've come to expect from this specific individual.

And now we have the entire fucking rubbernecking peanut gallery of ILX clucking their tongues like a gabble of hens. What a joyful start to a bank holiday weekend!

I actually had a great afternoon! I discovered three new patches of the Great North Woods that I had only glimpsed from afar.

Take it easy - as you well know - means I hope you're ok/may the road rise to meet you/I hope things are good for you. It does not mean what you're suggesting it does.

Disingenuous - no. I had no idea about this first name/government name thing. Why would I? Four years ago I very rarely ventured outside of metal threads.

xp booming contribution

Doran, it has been requested repeatedly. I think it's a fairly reasonable assumption that ILXors in general might have taken it on board. Obviously not in this case, but you can understand how it might get extremely tiring and 'real names' should at least not be the default when people are posting under usernames.

I for one have never seen it requested. There are so many threads I never read.

xp it's also a fairly reasonable assumption that not every single person who posts here does so with the same depth of attention to detail and desire to know the ins and outs of everything that goes on

in the case of Doran I don't think I've ever seen him post outside of ILM

This is the crux of it though isn't it? I had no idea. I've apologised three times now and I'll do it again.

I'm really very sorry.

I understand it must be tiring but does it warrant me being called a liar speaking 'bullshit'?

This is the first time I've ever, ever, ever posted on a non-music topic. Why on Earth would I know?

Doran, Saturday, 3 May 2014 16:52 (nine years ago) link

You wouldn't. Bramwell overreacts, most ppl're aware of how she behaves on here

sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Saturday, 3 May 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link

xp I believe you, I'm just saying that if you *know a poster well enough to know their real name*, and keep up with the same 'depth of attention to detail' as to their various username changes, you might have read one of the many posts that they have posted on this topic.
I am not trying to sound arsey - in fact I think you and I have friends in common.

kinder, Saturday, 3 May 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link

You don't KNOW her, how DARE you say that

online hardman, Saturday, 3 May 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link

XP: Yeah, I get it now. And believe it or not I feel bad about this. Not the least because I was genuinely trying to avoid another pointless flare up between us. Anyway, onwards and hopefully, sometimes, wherever possible, upwards.

Doran, Saturday, 3 May 2014 17:04 (nine years ago) link

i've just eaten a salted caramel brownie, so upwards has happened

kinder, Saturday, 3 May 2014 17:07 (nine years ago) link

I understand yr feeling bad fwiw Doran, yr intentions came across v clearly to me, but y'know

sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Saturday, 3 May 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link

two months pass...

Onwards, and upwards!

What is the German for sausage party? Just ask the Quietus and Faber & Faber:
