I wonder sometimes if I am the victim of a malicious rumour

'tis probably wise not to seek validation/redemption thru facebook - either build a time machine, or forget about it or eat some ice cream.

I would either forget about all this and leave it behind (the best option) or alternatively find out the truth by whatever means neccesary, track down your ex-schoolfriend and kick the shit out of him.

all i did was ask if there was any homoeroticism involved whilst away on holiday

fwiw, if you are real, grant singer, your art is wonderful! i hope you find happiness in life and on the internet.

maybe Grant Singer is Hi Dere's sockpuppet?

the work entitled precious etc got a lol

we ah doo-lee appointed fedewah maw-shahs

wrong thread

no, that seems properly placed.

we can say that another poster is creepy without it constituting being a dick, right?

no, there is no thread where this statement is wrong

the fox is guarding the henhouse

i enjoyed the original post.

what is a "sock." i'm not up on new internet terminology.

socks aren't exactly new internet terminology.

Main Entry: sock puppet
Function: noun
Date: 1959

1 : a hand puppet made with a sock
2 : a false online identity used for deceptive purposes

what is a "sock." i'm not up on new internet terminology.

Someone on a message board starting an alternative account for pretending to be someone else for whatever reason.

2 : a false online identity used for deceptive purposes

i sort of doubt this was one of the definitions in 1959.

Maybe all those people you wanted to reconnect with just didn't like you?

i sort of doubt this was one of the definitions in 1959.

DARPA was pretty advanced by then.

lol amateurist i missed you.

Oh, I know, Am. The date is less important in that post than the fact that definition 2 has made Webster's.

Sockpuppets in the news:

For about eight years until last August, the company confirms, Mr. Mackey posted numerous messages on Yahoo Finance stock forums as Rahodeb. It's an anagram of Deborah, Mr. Mackey's wife's name. Rahodeb cheered Whole Foods' financial results, trumpeted his gains on the stock and bashed Wild Oats. Rahodeb even defended Mr. Mackey's haircut when another user poked fun at a photo in the annual report. "I like Mackey's haircut," Rahodeb said. "I think he looks cute!"

"new" internet terminology

hey, i never heard it until yesterday, so it's new to me.

xpost

ha i read that article! i don't remember them mentioning the word "sock" though.

bashed wild oats?

the tipoff is usually when someone makes an OP like this and then NEVER POSTS AGAIN IN THE THREAD.

but he did post again.

someone make a gif of a sock eating itself for future use

i enjoyed the initial post and have a very similar story to tell. One day I had friends and the next day they treated me like I had the plague. I have no idea what happened. Could it have been the color of my socks?

I wonder sometimes

I was not the nicest dude at school, a bit cocksure to be honest, but so were lots of my friends.

i wonder sometimes if there isn't more here

just saying, how about the threadstarter is a real person, they know how often ilx threads show up on [search engine] and his plea (& two hundred posts of paranoid snarknbait) will be the first thing that shows up when his former schoolfriends want to see if he's finally been convicted of abducting that girl in portugal (or w/e)

also i'm thinking haneke to direct and it will be tepid shit

cocksure, funny word

this dude looks pretty cocksure

I don't really understand why snark is the first thing we sometimes go to around here. Granted, why a 33 year old is asking people he doesn't know about his paranoia regarding people he hasn't talked to in 15 years, is equally beyond me, as is why he would still be bothered to care though I suppose he may want some kind of reassurance or something. I usually refrain from threads if I have nothing constructive to add, unless it's just to inject some levity and I am wary of judging people's motives when I have so little information.

I'm callin it sock. A cursory glance around this place would indicate that it would likely not be an especially welcoming place for such query, & the level of prose in the post suggests that the dude is not a total rube. Grant Singer is no NAthaniel.

maliciously cocksure

I am feeling nostalgic for the days when we allowed posters to establish a personality before ruthlessly attacking them for discernible reason.

I fear those days are long gone.

some of them will never establish a personality, how long must we wait

Good point

to be fair, the sock-to-beloved poster turnaround is pretty swift these days. pretty sure kshighway is going to be made a sitewide mod later this week.

very much appreciate the outpouring of support

one post is not an outpouring sock

aw look it's Que

Since you're plainly working towards a Museum of ILX, what will its first temporary exhibition be?
