ilxors who almost make u wanna go homo

When I was banned from ILX I wrote a long document to my computer that was a thorough summary of what happened and what things were supposed to mean when I posted them and individual replies to posts while highlighting all the 2-sided mistakes and misunderstandings along the way. I had a lot of butthurt jabs at several people that only made sense in the grand scheme of things that could only be clarified by reading my long detailed letter.

Nearly 3 years later I rejoined ILX. I deleted that document in the past year. I knew it would be too cringey to read before I deleted it.

Nowadays I keep my ILX personality relatively vanilla and that makes me happy. Whenever drama happens on here I do my best to butt out.

What saved me in the end was my ability to fogetaboutit. I don’t even know who had I had beef with or what even happened. Also my ILX insecurities have waned a bit since I’ve heavy filtered my impulses. I’ve always picture my ILX personality as a narcissistic Nobody but I feel like I’m less narcissistic now. The only times I feel like I wasn’t a nobody was when I chatted with ILXors in DJ chat rooms where we tooks turns queueing up music, when I played online MtG against a couple people here, when someone traveling the country expressed willingness to meet me, and lastly a brief couple of times I had email exchanges. Which is to say that I, without interaction with people outside these threads or without positive feedback, still feel that I’m perceived as a Nobody. But at least I feel like I’m a Nobody that people don’t hate anymore. I don’t hate anyone here and I do picture Katherine as someone that is very sensitive (without even knowing the current beef) but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The moral is that forgetting makes things better and also maybe a lot of other people are nobodys too because I don’t really know any of them. Talking to ILXors outside of these threads really helps on that front even if I haven’t done it in forever.

Oh, and while airing out my dirty laundry I should mention that at one point I somewhat idolized a few ILXors for their popularity or because they are/were cool. I knew I could never live up to that image because I have no connections and I assume thay had many. Since I’m antisocial in real life and I hardly ever get jelly it must mean that I really hold other posters (and ILX in general) in high regard for me to have felt that way; ILXors are not Nobodys ipso facto they are ILXors.

flops u dont need to idolize me but u can buy my book if yre hellbent on it

😎

Is there a ILGlossary for all usernames someone has ever used here?

Yes but u need access to 77

I posted only one time using my real name and I just now did a search for posts by my last name and learned that my brother was briefly an ILXor who also posted only one time using his real name. I wonder if he remembers that happening. Small world. Smaaaaall world.

Whoaaa

He'd be an A+ ILM-er but I don't think he gives much of an eff about the internet, is all.

i started out under my real name because some old school ilxors did that and i thought it was brave but i quickly realized i was not going to be that kind of poster

needed some slack

Dom and I, we brave the internets like real men.

for the record my name is not that

Fav if u remember Treeship’s government name

Hen Fap iirc

(also, me leaving seems like a far more drastic option than people not being hostile)

One is very easy to make happen. One is impossible. Esp when considering your perception of hostile.

If you're not a licensed psychologist, you shouldn't be posting in this thread. If you are a licensed psychologist, you probably shouldn't be posting in this thread either.

ok now the fun part

everyone has to go back over their posts itt and state whether they were a true pyhsta or whether they were just posts

dont give me that, ppl, its for audit you all know the rules

Every single aspect of this has been a self-fulfilling prophecy, from the goading to the response, with the two tending towards convergence over time. All just posts, of course.

people must be pretty perfect for being so judgemental, indignant, and unforgiving.

'Kitsch is the absolute denial of shit.'

Had no idea 'kitsch' was interchangeable with 'constipation' but thank u

many xps I probably FP'd Turrican somewhere around this post but I have to say I chuckled at "Bradley"

I was making reference to the fact that there's a stupidly long thread on this record on the Hoffman forums. I don't aim to impress you, Bradley. You sure as shit don't impress me.

sry if you were hurt brad ;_;

oh it's ok i wasn't <3 i have basically inured myself to the fact that if i get into really intense arguments here the likelihood that someone will shit on my work goes up to like 90 percent. turrican was also too tedious to ultimately give that much of a shit about

Is turrican one of the posters who people know irl or an anonymous type of guy?

the uk posters have developed the theory that he is the politician john mctern4n (who ran a stranglers fanzine in the late 70s called hangin around)

Strangler. Hanging. 70s. Wow.

not hanging, hangin

It’s a lot to process either way.

to steal a joke, there's always the Pelican Brief option

don't feel bad about hostility from someone who is the punchline to so many jokes about idiots who are also horrible writers.

gosh, I wish you'd shut the fuck up

Evergreen ^

heh

You're like a fucking Whit Stillman movie: it's all about dialogue, you say every excruciating thing that pops up in your mind as if we would like to read that shit. And yet you never need a toilet break.

ILX is not IRL, we are not your friends
