Mordy, you're a total arsehole and I wish you would cease to exist. Or at least keep your unpleasantness off threads that I start. Can you please just go away and just not do this, for once?
If you can't do that, I'm going to ask for the thread to be locked, because I'm really, really sick of this.

Get over yourself.

I'm becoming completely serious, before you start with your "oh noes, women be being emotional" garbage again. Please just stop this.

always, always include a poll option that states ”YOUR OPTIONS DON'T INCLUDE MY PERSONAL CHOICE YOU THOUGHTFASCIST” is the key rule imo

WCC, any issue I have with you has nothing to do your gender.
― Mordy, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:41 (eleven years ago) link
fwiw, I don't really have an issue with you except that you love to escalate ILX arguments. I don't even have a problem with that tho! Go with god.
― Mordy, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
also lol @ *my* women are being emotional garbage. i've never said that. but when did you stop beating your inappropriate work crush?
― Mordy, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:43 (eleven years ago) link
Seriously tempted right now to push a button so that this discussion could cease to exist.
― Matt DC, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:43 (eleven years ago) link
i'm trying to decide which of mordy's "texts" most warrants a flagging.

MATT DC otm this tiresome crap has to stop.

I love this "I'm not even being a dick to you!" faux-innocent act followed by immediately being a massive dick.
― Matt DC, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:45 (eleven years ago) link
Matt, please can you lock the thread. I'm deeply tired of this.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:45 (eleven years ago) link
deeply
― Mordy, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:46 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, from my perspective, I answered the question, thanks WCC for clarifying it had nothing to do with that wiki link, and any discussion seems to be hidebound by some bloke almost making a point then being quite nasty in the next breath...
― Mark G, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:47 (eleven years ago) link
mordy engaged with the thread sincerely and in good faith, and then was told he couldn't use the S-word
― some dude, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:48 (eleven years ago) link
literally all the bullshit happened after someone tried to control how people interpreted the question.
i think he was asked not to use it, but it seemed v. important to him to ignore that request

― thomasintrouble, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
and why was that wrong? WCC said/clarified it wasn't about S, and I would have asked for further clarification but then, etc.
xposts render this incomprehensible, but in before lock.
― Mark G, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
being told not to use the S word, I mean.
― Mark G, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
stop mansplaining y'all, mordy is a misogynist and the question can only be discussed on the terms defined by the thread starter, *locks ilx*
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Friday, 12 October 2012 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
There are plenty of other threads if people want to talk about suicide. OG asked for people not to do so in this thread, which is about something different. That's fair enough - I have done and will continue to ask people not to derail my own threads if I feel discussion goes AWOL. Maybe reinforcement of thread intention could have been done more diplomatically, but it didn't warrant the reaction that followed.

darragh don't be a dick.
i think mordy was fine here until he referenced an unrelated thread as a snipe. i dunno though, i'm a pretty big fan of letting conversations evolve organically
― ciderpress, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:52 (eleven years ago) link
yes, that was unfair + mean of me to bring in an unrelated thread. i apologize for that. i was just annoyed at being called names w/out having done anything to deserve it. it was childish.
― Mordy, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:53 (eleven years ago) link
suicide was such a totally inevitable subject itt that it would've been wise to announce that the intention was take that word out of the equation from the beginning. although i still have no idea how that would actually work. any imaginary sci-fi scenario is going to evoke the closest real world analog.
― some dude, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:53 (eleven years ago) link
can't believe someone misinterpreted this thread title as being about suicide. it's about *not existing* anymore you guys, *not* suicide, there's a big diff

button's function not well enough specified. so no will not press it.

The Barthes reference struck me as being intensely rude (and also not relevent, as this is, as pointed out, a discussion rather than a static work); unless it was some kind of high-fallutin' meta-joke about the OG being wiped from existence with no consequence. Which I doubt.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 12 October 2012 13:54 (eleven years ago) link
actually, that was the joke.
― Mordy, Friday, 12 October 2012 13:54 (eleven years ago) link
i'm glad someone got it, even if comedy is unnatural and abhorrent.

It was a bloody long punchline!

you should retweet

guilty of being a dick SM, but eh that's what happened. Nobody owns threads, suicide wasn't a huge intangential leap.
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Friday, 12 October 2012 14:00 (eleven years ago) link
done xp

Oh, I had that happen before too! Fun, huh?

I'm presuming there isn't actually going to be any further discussion of the original thread premise...
― Matt DC, Friday, 12 October 2012 14:02 (eleven years ago) link
i'd press the button now, yeah
― thread lock holiday (Noodle Vague), Friday, 12 October 2012 14:04 (eleven years ago) link
I'm happy to keep discussing the original thread. But suicide is an unavoidable topic here. I'm not sure why it's been ruled out.
― jim, Friday, 12 October 2012 14:05 (eleven years ago) link
*original thread premise
Anyway
I def think this is a suicide Q, at least in my thought process. Suicide or in this case non-existence has always been quickly ruled out once I think about how much my life has been built around artificial constructs, that my "happiness" (and occasional "sadness") are tied up in small variations of work-eat-exercise-socialize-internet patterns, that if I really was contemplating non-existence I'd first re-format my life and, in order, try out being a gym rat, a yoga teacher, a mechanic, a teacher, a scuba diving instructor, a ski bum, a beach bum, a thief, a drug addict, a mystic, a resident of Florida
