The real question tho is: would ilxor.com survive without the periodic jolt to the heart trolling (whether intentional or not, that's neither here nor there) providentially provides?

most trolling is ruined by the fact that we feel like the troller is winking too much. bring back the random googlers who said hilarious dumb shit in earnest and were meme-worthy

As intriguing as I find hip-hop in terms of the beats or the wordsmithing, I find the braggadocio tiresome

Mellomane was a classic 90s-style troll - staying polite but relentlessly refusing to engage with people’s responses to a just-provocative-enough question, so they infuriate themselves in fruitlessly attempting to address a bad-faith proposition. Masterful work.
― massage angry pixels (sic), Monday, 1 June 2020 08:57 (four years ago) link
yeah I'd be amazed if Melomane isn't an ex ILXOR doing it as a bet
― thomasintrouble, Monday, 1 June 2020 11:36 (four years ago) link
the ex ilxor theory is weird to me. Do people really think a former poster spent nearly two years occasionally sock-posting anodyne* shit about ECM and Rush as the lead-up to starting this thread?
* I did see one other edgy post, but I believe it's possible to be sincerely sexist.
― dip to dup (rob), Monday, 1 June 2020 12:05 (four years ago) link
Yeah, clearly not an ex-poster imo. A poster who previously posted too little to know where he was (ie. blind to the room)? Mos def.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 1 June 2020 12:16 (four years ago) link
Oh fair enough, have to admit I didn't bother going over to the browser search for them.
― thomasintrouble, Monday, 1 June 2020 12:22 (four years ago) link
Mos Def uses too many tropes iirc

I don't recall him participating in the classical music threads at all, though, which is a little strange given his claims about 12-tone music.
― pomenitul, Monday, 1 June 2020 12:46 (four years ago) link
Perhaps he meant 12-tone as in "Tony! Toni! Toné!", Tone Loc and eight other tones.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 1 June 2020 12:49 (four years ago) link
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is him (check the ratings):

I'd also like to point out that the second track on Climate of Hunter is entitled 'Dealer' and speaks of 'ice junkies'.

Nope, what/who was that?

Don't think it's him, I think he was actually into hip hop.
― Is Lou Reed a Good Singer? (Tom D.), Monday, 1 June 2020 17:31 (four years ago) link
Not that that matters, I suppose, but anyway I can't see him keeping his trap shut for two years before suddenly switching to trolling mode.
― Is Lou Reed a Good Singer? (Tom D.), Monday, 1 June 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link
That would be some God-tier trolling indeed.

It’s not even close to RT

― Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 1 June 2020 17:54 (four years ago) link
For pom's benefit, RT was some spoiled little public schoolboy (I thought so anyway) who showed up here for a while and gradually lost the plot when people started criticizing his posts and went on an anti-Semitic rant and got permabanned. Then he came back with, in retrospect, a fairly obviously pseudonym and lasted like a day before going full on alt-right and getting permabanned again. He's probably working for Dominic Cummings now.

was RT a Wite Dorke sock? or am I remembering that wrong.
― calzino, Monday, 1 June 2020 17:58 (four years ago) link
I don't know who Wite Dorke is tbh.
― Is Lou Reed a Good Singer? (Tom D.), Monday, 1 June 2020 17:59 (four years ago) link
Ah, I see, thanks, Tom.
The anti-Semitic rant appears to be customary of ILX denouements before the fall. Wasn't there also a guy who was really into so-called 'world' music and whose posts about it were mostly cool and informative until he went off the deep end, Protocols of the Elders of Zion-style?
― pomenitul, Monday, 1 June 2020 18:00 (four years ago) link
Wite Dorke = Dwight Yorke but I can't remember any more details
you're thinking of Rudipherous, pom
