Lots of ppl on ilx0r dot com are perfectly reasonable and fun, multi-faceted personalities across most threads but flare up into intractable beasts on one topic or bugbear
Also a few who do it vice versa

Going onto a thread for Sanders supporters and posting stuff like "I pray to God it won't happen but maybe he will die peacefully in his sleep during the campaign; only, then, who will his stans blame?"
FTR I said almost the exact same thing a week or so before he did.

your politics thread posts are very similarly useless, meta, and mean, as you well know

As with all things, this place is far more agreeable when politics are kept off the table. I've been mulling this over lately, and have come to the conclusion that furiously keeping up with political drama hasn't made me a more ethical person by any stretch of the imagination – once or twice a week is more than enough. That said, I'm pretty sure that nerdstrom was a bona fide troll. Dissenting opinions aren't suppressed by the mods so much as they are drowned out by the eternally self-replicating closet juggalo hivemind.

we used be able to have politics threads it was fine
rancour and trolling were both more generally accepted and more generally present and it was good actually not bad
now nope
and its bad actually not good
i dont think that whats changed is that we now have politics

So you say, deems, then you go and pick a bone with alter egos.
You may be right, though. When everyone's a troll, no one is.

less that subtle difference between that and what im getting at tbh

I'm tempted to start a thread wherein we discuss subtle resemblances between ILX and 4chan.

'Closet' being the only sticking point. I can't be the only one down with the clown and posting in full greasepaint 24/7.

Arguably, that might have merited a FP as well. (But I didn't give it one.) I guess it felt less trollish since it was on the "second thoughts" thread in the first place and wasn't presented with a pretence of being a concerned supporter.

In retrospect, banning seems like it was probably going too far tbh.

― ILX Loophole Converts Your IRA/401(k) to Physical Gold (WmC), Tuesday, 2 April 2019 13:11 (five years ago) link
There was this one time when I lived in a basement apartment and we had like a half dozen friends over on a summer evening and we were just kinda hovering around the open front door gabbing and enjoying some drinks when suddenly this total rando comes from out of nowhere and just like dives over the railing of our steps and struts in like he owns the place, to the baffled stares of everyone in attendance. He thought he was crashing a party but no. I was kinda embarrassed for him and his seeming inability to read social cues. Don't know why I just remembered that anecdote.
