what kind of addled pissant goes around describing their own shit-for-brains prose style as "my otiose register"

Mr Que is enrique? Who is elmo argonaut?

― Scik Mouthy, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

Why do you even care Tom? Louis keeps going up in my estimation.

― Mark C, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

xpost to tombot: Someone who is taking the fucking piss out of his aforementioned shit-for-brains prose-style, it being affected for the purpose of adding absurdity to an already pretty wacked-out tale.

LOUIS, WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS?

― lfam, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

That New Yorker article is actually pretty interesting. Maybe it deserves a thread of its own, but probably not. When I was in my late teens, I used to fantasise that in the future, everybody would have their own xerox copier (that does me, eh?) so that they could produce their own zines. The web has made that redundant, hasn't it? Louis' stumbling into ILX (average age 30-something) is a culture clash, the age gap, etc.?

the only one who can save us now is mr robert callum waddel!

That *dates* me, I mean, not does me, heh.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

enrique is 'the one that quit', elmo argonaut is a gay noizer who's clearly enjoying this far more than he's letting on... :-D

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

Why should he stop? He's got a HUGE audience here. Not even of just his peers any more, but of bored office workers.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

bored office ~~workers~~ wankers

― lfam, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

but what would the LJJAS think?

― lfam, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

I care because people have been reposting his narcissistic drool all over other perfectly decent threads, the point was apparently to make everyone have to feel the acute pain of having such an imbecile on the boards, whether we have killfiles enabled or not. So here I am telling the dipshit to grow the fuck up, nobody wants to hear about it, and yes, I'm holding him responsible for the fact I had to read his stupid pornographic bullshit when I came to work this morning. It's disgusting and pathetic.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

dude, kate, the thing is, why would you want a global audience for this story?

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

Louis what do you want to be when you grow up?

― .stet., Monday, 12 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

*sniffs bait*

*walks away*

― Edward III, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, someone should do a census!

Oh for fuck's sake leave him alone, and that goes for you as well Passatino.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

dude, kate, the thing is, why would you want a global audience for this story?

What he wants is ATTENTION. He's getting it on a massive scale. Doesn't matter if it's good press or bad press, it's all the same as a fan club to him - read the article linked to. It makes sense. It's like he would be YouTubeing his own Paris Hilton style videos if he could, turning embarrassment in on itself.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

That was a x-post to Tombot, who thinks he's the only ILXer to have never posted narcissistic drool.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

"Narcissistic" is right. Also "tedious".

― caek, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

none of mine has been my graphic sex adventures. and when nick s. put his out there it didn't get reposted by half the populace. thank you very much.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

he could be less prolix

― lfam, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

wait there's an ARTICLE?

― THIS PIECE, RENDERED IN 1992-ERA CONSUMER-GRADE SOFTWARE, FEATURES A COMMENTARY , Monday, 12 March 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

he is v pro-lix

― Frogman Henry, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to regret this but I suppose today on ILX has been one of OMG WTF is up with humanity. What is Nick S' story?

― kv_nol, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

The point of using ILX as a confessional is that I (almost) never see any of you guys, and therefore feel safe to spill here whatever wonderful, strange or otherwise remarkable eventualities have cropped up recently in my life. When something bizarre or amusing happens to ANY of you, you ALL post it here (aka the very fucking point of ILE). This is no different, but perhaps a little more extreme than many cases.

Tombot, why are you being such a cunt?

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

i don't need to read an article to know the internet is full of narcissistic people. world in being full of idiots shocker etc. i'm just saying that reposting a story like THAT seems like an even worse idea than anything either you or i have ever posted, and it's saying something! his real name is all over the boards--he should consider toning it down before he gets googled, is all.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

louis, it is you in fact who are being the cunt--not that you've ever seen one.

― Mr. Que, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

When something bizarre or amusing happens to ANY of you, you ALL post it here

i'm glad that you think the rest of us have spectacularly boring lives, but this is so stunningly untrue that i don't even know what to do with it. seriously, dude, other ilxors have gotten themselves in REAL LIFE trouble doing what you're doing--chill out.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

therefore feel safe to spill here
Yeh, you're going to want to change your mind about that. These boards are incredibly long-lived so far, and that isn't changing. There's also about 10 times as many readers as posters, so they aren't that small either. And everyone knows your name. And knowing you, you're going to want to do something in the public eye later on, where explaining all this is going to be an unneeded pain in the ass arf arf.

― .stet., Monday, 12 March 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and I've kept it to one thread. I expected a few snarky comments, a bit of flaming, but the viral spread across ILX has been ENTIRELY down to your (pl.) vicarious enjoyment of the whole shebang.

Wow, the word 'shebang' takes on a whole new connotation now...

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

Ally, both you and I have seen the effects of what can happen when you let your personal life get out of control on this board. You live and you learn. There's vast swathes of ILX that I would erase off the database if I could, but I can't.

The linked article provides a different viewpoint on what drives the narcissistic fuckers.

Alls I'm saying is, the more attention you give LJ, the more of this sort of thing you're going to get from him.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

OH WORD?

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

you think the rest of us have spectacularly boring lives

oh for fuck's sake STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH ALL OF YOU

― unfished business, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

i don't care if he keeps doing it, i'm just waiting breathlessly for the inevitable moderator thread where he's bitching that a relationship prospect/employer/mom has googled his name and is freaking out, begging to have everything deleted, is the thing! fair warnings and all that.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

ok well can we make sure from now on to try and not copy and repost this kind of thing all over everywhere? some of us have him in our killfile for lots of awesome reasons

― TOMBOT, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

hi asshole, you said it, not anyone else?? i mean, let's be honest, if you actually think that, you must think NOTHING HAPPENS TO THE MAJORITY OF US EVER. again, chill the fuck out before you have some kind of situation like remy did, dude!

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 12 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

OK Louis I am on the one computer I use that I have not (yet) installed killfile on so I am going to give you some very serious advice: DO NOT POST SHIT LIKE THAT ON THE INTERNET. IT IS THE INTERNET. ANYONE CAN FIND IT. THINK OF THIS FACT. unless of course you have no problem with any random person you know finding these tales, in which case um.

― jessie monster, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

oh for fuck's sake STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH ALL OF YOU
It's what you said, more or less. You think everyone posts all the details of their lives here. To think that, you must think their lives are pretty boring or mundane, to think you're seeing all of it. Few people post here in as explicit detail as you do.

― .stet., Monday, 12 March 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

lol xpost.

― jessie monster, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

Tombot, why are you being such a cunt?

I don't think he is being one at all. I'd say it's very irritating having this pop up everywhere but I am actually enjoying this for some reason, slow day at work perhaps or something a bit more "oh that was me a few years ago, thank goodness there was no internet for me to globally show what a tit I was being." Personally I think that you're a bit of a fool and that some day you will regret what you have posted on ILX more than you can ever imagine. Unfortunately being aware that one's actions have consequences is only something you will understand with a few more years. In this age of traceability you have guaranteed that in future someone (possibly even a relation) will find all of this and what you did as a young man will ruin something very important to you in future. That is all I have to say about it, I've said it to you before: Not all attention is good attention and negative attention is the worst of all.

LJ, I don't know you but I care as in it does worry me to see someone do something so stupid. Personally I'm getting back to the LOLz but I do think you should consider it. You're smart, use that big ol' brain and think next time before putting something so damning on the internet.

― kv_nol, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

oh btw you guys I made an eyewash thread on noize board full of cute baby animals and giant robots to cleanse your minds. don't read ethan's post though, it's not nice.

― jessie monster, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

lol he is not smrt hoo r u kiddng

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

Shit! I didn't mean to post the whole thing, I just meant to pull out a couple of paragraphs! Argh!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, so you all think his story is true?

― StanM, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

try again, Kate

― Administrator, Monday, 12 March 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

what was originally quite a funny reaction (for the first 50-60 posts) has turned into a mean-spirited takedown of the so-called 'narcissistic fuckers' and the 'idiots' of the world, of which I'm plainly a founding member. I'd just like to say that you are acting like cunts. My posts were of the roll-eyes wow-that-was-stupid-but-kinda-funny-eh variety, now I'm some sort of monster who seeks to spread his network of egomania across the internet (read: one thread on a messageboard) and pollute the minds of all and sundry.

Ally's advice is probably sound, however, so I'll stop. Only this, however: Nobody would have been able to find this thread unless it had my name sprinkled all over it. You were the ones that did this. Not me.

My point about everyone posting details of their lives here was an EXAGGERATION, granted, but I don't for a second mean to suggest that everyone here leads a dull life, I know for a fact that most of you don't!
