Dude!

(I'm certainly aware of how awful-making it feels to be targeted IRL by some anonymous fuckwit through the internet, and the sense of vulnerability it engenders.)

It sucks coz I will miss you, but I completely understand the retreat. Hope that things are OK for you...

Shugazi (Branwell with an N), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 16:55 (eleven years ago)

ugh. so sorry, DC.

example (crüt), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 16:58 (eleven years ago)

^^^^^

That's bizarre and horrible. We will all miss you.

Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 16:58 (eleven years ago)

Ugh, that makes me so angry. We'll miss you.

jeangenet ramsey (suzy), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 17:26 (eleven years ago)

This is awful - ILX will be many magnitudes poorer without you.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 17:29 (eleven years ago)

shit. you are one of the most thoughtful posters here and i hope you have or find another outlet for talking about the kinds of things you've thought through here, for the sake of the people who get to hear it as much as for yourself.

Merdeyeux, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 17:37 (eleven years ago)

Don't let the bastards anonymous shitheads on the internet grind you down.

wackness unlimited (snoball), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 17:53 (eleven years ago)

never let the cunts win

you are being very harsh on yourself to say you have got anything wrong, any more than you are wrong to have a car because someone might steal it or wrong to go outside because someone might kill you, the vindictive will always be there to exploit anything

can understand why this would make you want to take a sabbatical but......you can always return strictly 4 the craic and the meta and like ogmor says, there are more vindictive shithead-proof areas for sensitive things if need be

wtf. dc/nv - you're one of those people who manage to articulate an awful lot of things I feel only incoherently, I always respect your opinions because they're super-smart, you're v v funny, and you've taught me a lot about music, politics, reading and generally "being" (I'm sure you'd be horrified at that last one but it's true). a big, big loss, and esp sad because the situation is so screwy.

you're a good man, take care and much love.

Fizzles, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 18:41 (eleven years ago)

ditto to all, please don't deprive us of yr presence for very long sir.

clouds, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 18:44 (eleven years ago)

God fucking damnit. This is some next level bullshit. DC, I truly hope you won't let "them win". As Nakh said, I understand your need to lay low, maybe at least for a while. I can only echo what others are saying, and that is that I think you are a super witty, funny, eloquent guy who lights up this board massively, for me at least. You don't deserve this, so I hope you can find a way, somehow. I'll miss you. God speed my friend.

Take care, DC

Jesus wept, this can't happen - you are one of the best posters on here. Just change your name or something bro. this sounds like bollocks.

xelab, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 21:14 (eleven years ago)

There are many variants of the phrase, such as

Non illegitimae carborundum'
Noli illegitimi carborundum
Nil illegitimi carborundum
Non illegitimis carborundum
Illegitimi nil carborundum
Nil bastardo carborundum
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum
Nil carborundum ab illegitimati
Illegitimis non carborundum
Nil illegitimo in desperandum carborundum
Nil carborundum illegitamae
Nolite Illegitimos Conterere Vos
Non carborundum bastardum

kinda wish we'd at least given u the win this evening

imago, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 21:21 (eleven years ago)

xp suspect the issue is a quickly recognisable posting style, which while not always a compliment on ilx obv is in this instance. if you need to remove substance from your posts to head tattletale wasteperson fuckheads off at the pass then I can see why just bowing out would be appealing. needless to say I hope this nonsense gets dealt with in due course

well-behaved wingmen really hate Mystery (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 21:37 (eleven years ago)

I am guessing this is why you went from NV to DC? Jesus, life is hard enough without people grinding you down online as well. All the best to you DC and hope you get this problem resolved.

xelab, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:05 (eleven years ago)

Oh fuck. I will miss you a lot. I often see someone at school who looks like you, and it makes me happy. I can't think of a single time I've ever noticed you be 'unprofessional' on here. Please stick around in the alt-area of this place if you can.

ljubljana, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 23:39 (eleven years ago)

Flamin nora, you have got to be kidding. To take all the time and effort, to go to such lengths just to be a cunty little shit, is just utterly bizarre. FUCKING WHY tho? I am staggered.

painfully alive in a drugged and dying culture (DavidM), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:00 (eleven years ago)

shit. you've been one of my favourite posters on here forever - real voice of life, not just the chatter. really will miss you - stay well and find joy man.

(and yes I cannot believe that some shit would pull this shit).

woof, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:19 (eleven years ago)

Yeah it's incredible that someone would go to those lengths. Be good and come back when the dust settles. You'll be missed, bud.

everyday sheeple (Michael B), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 20:27 (eleven years ago)

DC you are a good sort; I'll miss your posts a great deal and hope to see some new ones some day. In the meantime please do what you have to and take care.

(also what everyone else said)

club mate martyr (a passing spacecadet), Thursday, 18 September 2014 08:56 (eleven years ago)

what a big set of hairy bollocks. if you need to round up a local posse, you know where I am.

thomasintrouble, Thursday, 18 September 2014 09:49 (eleven years ago)

this new development sucks heartily. do what you need to do DC, but you'll be sorely missed

I agree with everyone who has said they refuse to grieve on line. In fact I doubt the sincerity of anyone who does so.

If you want to mark personal loss then a moment's reflection would seem to be most appropriate. I find solace in poetry, but everyone will have their own way which would be appropriate.

As regards feelings about celebrity loss ie the death of someone famous then I find that more problematical.

I met someone a few years ago who was a Manchester United fan and he was baffled why he couldn't stop weeping when George Best died. To a certain extent I think that we grieve for what we have lost personally rather than for the person whom we only know through either television, the cinema or through some other distorting lens. It's a remembrance of all those feelings we had when we were first moved by some special skill or talent that caught our attention - a transient moment of magic - now lost but brought back when we see a notice of their death.

i think we grieve for the transience.

this was always the thread i posted to while being dragged around department stores, ive no idea what the significance of that is but it was in no way once-or-twice i mean p much any time this thread got traffic i was avoiding perfume aisles

local eire man (darraghmac), Monday, 20 October 2014 23:57 (eleven years ago)

xp i used to be transient it wasn't all that

It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might
