everybody on ilx complains about reddit

like, maybe bashar assad has a forum somewhere?

I know he's an awful guy, but dropping the tip on his blog to start Denarius Moore yesterday against Atlanta was invaluable.

ViolentAcrez is a deplorable guy. But he is *honest* in his ugly behavior.

I see arguments along these lines being made a lot lately and an I wrong for thinking it barely matters, like at all, whether or not you are ”honest” about what a piece of shit terrible person you are?

no it doesn't matter in the slightest

fuckin Freddie deboer christ

not sure what's "honest" abt hiding behind an anonymity but wvr. deboer also needs to stop making everything abt himself and how the cool kids hate him

i would just like to point out the hypocrisy of ILX being all

I got it, thank you for your mail.

Regarding the original threadlock request: my opinion is that the "cease to exist button" thread turned into a very good discussion of existential angst, arguments for and against existence, etc etc, so I didn't see a good enough reason to lock it. Threadstarters aren't thread-owners, imo, and these things will organically go where they will after an initial period of -- what? personality-flexing? territorial pissing? -- whatever. And then they live or die on their merits, and the button thread has lots of merit.

how could he have foreseen what people would have posted in his jailbait and upskirt threads...

the man is a hero, if anything

how could he have foreseen that he would post jailbait photos in his jailbait threads

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan sued a disc jockey, the DJ's ex-wife and a gossip website Monday after a sex tape involving Hogan and the woman was posted online.

Hogan said in two lawsuits that he had consensual sex with his best friend's wife, Heather Clem, about six years ago in the Clemses' home, but he did not know he was being secretly recorded.

"Mr. Hogan had a reasonable expectation of his privacy, just as all Americans have a reasonable expectation of their privacy in their bedrooms," attorney Charles Harder said.

The video was posted on the online gossip site Gawker. Hogan is seeking $100 million in damages from the New York-based media company, which declined comment.

It's unclear who gave the video to Gawker.

Think Gawker will out the person who did this?

its ok because its the hulkster

don't think anyone's saying gawker has a moral code

i don't see how either this or the thread ownership thing relates to the violentacrez story

i was gonna post something but then i was typing "hypocrisy" and it came out "hipocracy" and i was like :O :O :O :O

no freedom of speech in the hipocracy i guess

ViolentAcrez is a deplorable guy. But he is *honest* in his ugly behavior.

this is a shitty argument: the stuff that violentacrez et al do isn't honest in the slightest! There is this super bullshit fantasy that internet blowhards like to pretend to believe, which is that the troll is man in a state of nature. Or maybe just that the troll is pure id: something that imbues the troll with a kind of purity of nature. But being a troll is a performance, and playing gross-out oneupmanship and borders-of-illegality oneupmanship is a performance, and the colossal level of disingenuousness required to maintain this shit is a performance. Someone who has decided to adopt the role of "reddit's creepy uncle" is going to be playing up the creep factor for all he can, and inventing new ways to perform creepiness, to maintain the persona. They aren't honest in their ugly behaviour, they're making up new ugly behaviour to impress/disgust other people on the internet.

just cos internet dickery involves being worse than you'd be in society doesn't make it honest.

ps whiney according to that gawker article violentacrez was a mod of /r/jailbait and was regularly required to police the line between 'legal' jailbait images and illegal ones, i.e. his role, at reddit, was to be responsible for what jpegs people posted in that thread.

did you hear that whiney he's a mod so you have to hate him

c# killin it

booming

yes yes Thomas Hobbes on trolls for morons who can't read = too perfect

My big takeaway from this whole mess is that Hungry4Ass is the only poster here with a display name worthy of being a mod

shd be Hungry4AssPotatoes surely?

keep it classy gawker commenters

Michael "Violent Acres" Brutsch is a degenerate incestuous pervert, a pedophile enabler and a blight on the internet.

With that said he shouldn't lose his job over his off the job internet activity, as revolting as it may be. As long as he didn't create any of those pedophile subreddits at his employer's premises and/or during work hours and/or using his employer's computers his internet perversion is none of his boss' business.

this woulnt happen in ron paul's america

i agree there is epic douchery on both sides here

tell me more

like did he have a job?

about WCC threads but then getting all high and mighty like violentacrez was responsible for what jpegs people posted in his threads

lmbo

violentacrez was a mod, dog. he was explicitly tasked with making sure that everything posted on his forums was legal.

it was legal, that's the point dammit, they were legal bikini shots of underage girls posted in a context of dudes wanking

lol i know, i was trollin

pvmic :D

im sad that everyone here thinks I would post "makes you think" in all seriousness hahaha

yah but "makes you think" can move into ridiculous levels of double/treble sark confusion

esp wehn you've had a few

I don't know, I thought "this wouldnt happen in ron paul's america" was a big clue

see, if he was trolling, that makes it all ok!

makes you think, huh?

tbf that has been the whiney position for years

he's got u there dude

can we stop conflating "trolling" with "being super sarcastic"

i don't know, can we?

(christ, posting like this is draining)

I lolled so it was all worth it

really guys, what's the difference between seeing something and remembering it and taking a photo of it? you can't make it illegal to see things. sent a 5iver good sir

you're right frogs, there literally is no difference

see i'm not sure that one's trolling

*shares creepshots via vulcan mind meld*

like if someone shows you an illegal image against your will, you can't go to jail unless you live in some kind of 1984 bullshit society right? and what's the difference really between memorizing that image and photographing it? what are we going to police memory now? #notmypresident
