Clusterfuck Summary Corner

your arms are too short to dickpunch with Linus

^ wow

I really need someone to explain the lg/nakh dynamic in the social class thread, I really don't understand what's happening. Is it because I'm merely upper-middle class, or because I'm american?

they're speaking gibberish afaik

it's not a clusterfuck, is the main thing. crut otm yeah just ignore mebbe idk

then what is it?
just curious

however not curious enough to become embroiled so if the answer is very complicated or requires me to engage in some kind of elaborate verbal charade, pretend i never asked!

it's quite an intense & terminology-loaded discussion focused on some fairly complex & sensitive sociocultural issues, so it's by necessity quite dense

imo it is a good thread but then i've posted so much to it i probably have to say that

sounds awesome

grady does not approve

will boldly and without judgement suggest that perhaps imago and nakh are being a little more dense than necessity dictates

just ITT like

which posts are ppl not getting?

both of the threads nakhchivan started this week have turned out v well imo

wow, ILX really loves this nackchivan guy, i thought this board was better quality. what's his schtick, taking people down with cheap shots? gibbering on in cake-batter heavy prose about boring ideas that were said better a hundred years ago?

only thing i can think of is that people are easily seduced by power. side with the guy who takes power by bringing people down, who then props himself up with an aura of intelligence that doesn't seem to have any substance to it. personally i think the dude brings the quality of this board down, but i'm only one person.

of course who the hell am i to talk.

otm tho

nakh is one of my favorite posters. but spectrum, i also think you're a good poster so i'm surprised that his shtick is so alienating to you. yes, there's some obscurantism going on - but he has eclectic interests and posts on provocative subjects. what more could one ask for in a poster? even his occasional rudeness seems more like a punk rock flip-off than any actual hostile sentiment. have you read ilafl? i think he played the pivotal role in establishing a beloved-to-me aesthetics of posting. like, look at his two most recent threads (on class + violence) and tell me that ilx isn't more interesting for having them.

should've gone to specsavers

exactly what i'm talking about darraghmac. he creates easy targets people can rally behind. i understand why that's appealing, it's just not my thing.

does he though? maybe i'm not reading the right threads...

it's right in front of your eyes.

idgi that he 'creates' targets

nakhs a great poster with a vicious/callous streak bytimes but yeah ten or 15 more like him wouldn't go amiss impo and its not like I've not been bitten when he's cranky

he should lay off how's life and Klata tho

but I mean mh hit you with a few takedowns today and you're not homing in there so idk if you're not fixating tbh but I'm not here to ref or anything

he creates easy targets people can rally behind

this is the kind of precise use of language we need more of

'precise use of language of which more we need' imo

linguistic precision I should have xp damnit

ilx posting personalities are contentious. nobody likes everybody. and everybody is disliked by somebody.

more of which, you stupid fucks

idk maybe that's grammatically correct in ireland...

Mordy and wins with characteristic want of perspicacity

XP cheap

ugh whatever, i'm ideologically signing onto descriptivism anyway

tbh that thread was just a bunch of posters having a conversation until spectrum burst in with EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS NAKIVAN GUY IS HE DOESN'T FOOL ME, SPECTRUM, FOR A SECOND

IS THERE NO MAN HERE WHO IS MADE OF STERN ENOUGH STUFF TO MATCH MY (SPECTRUM'S) VERBAL SPARRING

deems not not otm tbf

mordy otm

sucks when you have a bad run-in w/ someone it's true. but he brings content and is a fine stylist, what else could you want in a pseudonymous internet personage

as far as wordy bullshitter timewasters go i'd rank him behind a fair number of others ahem

well let's hear it

uh wait what's policy in clusterfucking ITT again

user goole doesn't podium but he's not in the bottom half

yeah, for contentiousness i prefer whiney and dr. morbius. nackchivan is just shitty and cheap. my own personal beef w/ him is that he made fun of some post i made about having depression, and i wanted to wail on the dude. that's about it, and i've talked about it to the extent that i care.

I hide behind self deprecation myself but tbbh you've flung yrself to the canvas in unseemly haste there xp

I didn't get the impression nakh is particularly popular but I haven't really read him much

xp

morbs has hit hard and low many times in his long career, whiney eh hasn't IMO brought any kind of content/Jacob Marley wailing ratio for just IMO now two years but look I'm not here to advocate for anyone and they're both good and interesting posters give lots to the place idk lyfe

deems using wail correctly a cheap shot imo
