i tilted at ross as much as anyone while he was here but imo this speaking ill of the on-hiatus is slightly unseemly, no matter how otm the speakers are
― imago, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 16:41 (five years ago) link
mostly as the on-hiatus in question has fairly srs mental health issues
It was nice that I saw spencer post on the walking dead thread about the pixies last week.

Yeah well a lot of ppl here do myself included. Does that excise this type of behavior? Should it just never be addressed? Genuinely asking because I do get where you’re coming from and don’t disagree entirely.

also think this. good luck to ross and hope the break is a healthy one.

Lol I read that and thought for a second there was a poster called walking dead.

it doesn't excuse anything and seriously - ask wins, Mordy or Tereshkova (I'm keeping that autocorrect) - I was carping about Ross' behaviour months ago - but his compulsive, addled posting sprees indicate to me that he really does need more help than castigation. whether he should be posting at all is another matter, which he has happily appeared to have addressed
― imago, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 16:47 (five years ago) link
or deems sorry deems
i don't think his hiatus is self-imposed, if you recall he said once he was quitting forever then was back posting later that day and when people asked what happened he was like "yeah i totally took the afternoon off"

I agree. I was responding to ppl who seemed not to have seen any of this stuff that seemed to be happening so frequently. I also genuninely do hope that this break means he’s in a healthier place (or trying to get to one).

personally i think it was pretty unforgivable that she didn't go to wisconsin, how could a candidate who is supposedly the most qualified ever not realize the importance of meeting the voters in a swing state???????

“Tereskova” is great imo.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 16:52 (five years ago) link
ENBB otm abt his behaviour, Wins otm abt it too, LJ otm about it too that Ross probably needs serious help. I seem to recall he was without internet for days/weeks before, it might be this way now.

i mean this is one thing ilx does a lot and it takes the most obvious and easiest thing and makes a huge generalization out of it, so nothing new, but ross was taunted from the very beginning at first
he lashed out once, and the other times were a reaction from being taunted all those times
but yeah don't badmouth people if they're not here, especially if you think (which most of you obviously do) that person is not mentally stable
what, do you guys try to reason with the homeless guy who tries to steal your wallet too?

Wow I didn’t know it was that bad. I remember some stuff with him deciding he didn’t like homeless people anymore after getting stabbed, or something.
