ilm is known about and/or lurked by a fair number of people who are music writers due to history, ilx definitely heard-of or read by people in general. some friends have mentioned having known of it, although it's not nearly as well-known in most circles as larger communities like SA or w/e

i always enjoy the vertigo of going from the most left-wing person in the room to the most right-wing person in the [thread] room
I don't necessarily enjoy this feeling. It's pretty frustrating to me, on either side. I But I share this experience.

I think ILX helps keep me grounded. There are certain areas where I am regarded as something of an authority amongst my group of IRL friends (music, football) but all it takes is a quick trip to ILX to prevent me getting a swollen head. Mainly because on ILF there are numerous posters prepared to burst your bubble when you're getting a bit above yourself, and because I've never yet mustered up the courage to become a regular poster to ILM, bcuz well fuck exposing my own ignorance to that extent really. I think this is probably quite healthy. Regarding broader discussion there are certain posters who I find to be so frequently otm (Noodle Vague) that i have to be very careful and attentive to try and think for myself and avoid actively parroting their views IRL, but who I definitely find to be fairly influential in my attitude to day-to-day concerns and problems

you ran a poll for two days and got 68 votes - seems like some people may have changed their mind in the interim

Weak argument imo you'd need to run a 2 day poll with similar turnout supporting yr assumption in order to get floortime

Count yrself lucky if this random thread revive is hurting u btw the other promising option on the page was the one about summary execution of child molesters
― virginity simple (darraghmac), Thursday, 20 April 2017 00:07 (seven years ago) link
Spoiler, that one was not #sorted

do the opinions vary much between the generic death penalty pro/con thread and the summary execution of child molesters pro/con thread?
― Mordy, Thursday, 20 April 2017 00:11 (seven years ago) link
No
In fact the worst part of the thread is the confirmed anti death penalty posters coming in to give the uninteresting and unhelpful answer that had already been noted against their names at a higher phase of discovery
"I'm against the death penalty in all circumstances so even in a case wher-" "Fuck off"
