he posted just a week ago - seems a little early to milk carton him but he's active on fb if u are hankering for a fix

I only did because it came across as an unwarranted self-eject. I hope I'm reading too much into it.

Where is Trayce? It’s just me, VG, Ed and sic (?) representing the Aussie massive these days. *waits to realise who I forgot to list after posting*
― assert (MatthewK), Monday, 2 November 2020 06:24 (three years ago) link
Trayce has posted in the last week or so, as have estela, monotony, Nag! Nag! Nag! and KBP. not much, though.

The peeps who are missing from the auld cru seem to be electricsound, sash, and haitch. I mean I see em post on FB so theyre *around*, but. Oh and Gaz and musicmole but they left a long time ago.

Oh, I must be hanging around in the wrong places. And I'm very glad to see the crew is much larger than I realised! I guess I better keep an eye over my shoulder for overlooking KBP tho.

I assume that the Tennis Opens didn't happen this year so edwardo had no reason to pop in
S- made a one-off post in the last few days too, following up on a one-off post he'd made a month earlier

Proud to be y'alls brother-in-law.
However, I'd caution any of you from calling sunny an honorary seppo, at least until after tomorrow.

i miss ogmor, we need more imperious posters. glad calz is still here, i literally stood up and clapped when he called tombot a flag-fucker (no offense tombot).
there was a uk-based poster who was very cool and knowledgeable and imperious and intimidating in the bobbins / grime threads. miss that guy lol, cannot remember his name :(. and lex of course.

I cannot think of a poster with more different music tastes than mine than The Lex, but I really missed their posting because it made me question my own assumptions (while also making me batshit crazy).

I used to interact with them on Twitter and always found them entertaining and insightful. Are they still mostly writing/posting about tennis?

The all-time lex thread was Taking sides: Children vs. (non-human) animals
lex would not back down one inch, in spite of the pile on. it was kind of awesome, in a way.

was that some of the last lex posting on ilx?

his cooking skills seem to have come on leaps and bounds, he does artisan bakery and all sorts of fancy shit these days.
― calzino, Tuesday, 3 November 2020 20:19 (three years ago) link
the first proper meal he ever ever undertook was three full courses, one of them a souffle iirc -- which was extremely admirably bold given that previously he was like im boiling an egg how is it on fire
from the FB pictures the three-course meal was a triumph
― mark s, Tuesday, 3 November 2020 20:38 (three years ago) link
his line was "if i fail at least i fail from a serious level" -- and then he didn't fail

― Politically homely (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 3 November 2020 20:40 (three years ago) link
also this is several years ago now, probably around the time he quit ilx

I'm shocked that the lex was posting as late as 2016!
His long-time beau being a professional chef does soften some of the edges of his Einstein-in-1905 leap - though it is still very impressive!
― Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 3 November 2020 20:50 (three years ago) link
lex regularly posted until 2017, last post in January 2018 with his noms for the 2017 EOY as a slight return. seem to remember he wanted to focus on a book he was writing.

I think I actually stopped reading the ILE for a while as a direct result of the quality of that thread.

Lex used to get so mad when I tried to persuade him that "anyone can learn to cook", ha
The image of him placing a plastic colander over a boiling pot of water to steam something is all-time

Kate wrote a two-word response on the politics thread a few days ago then disappeared again. I miss Kate...
though totally understand needing to take a break from here, particularly the politics threads, which are cesspools of centrist garbage imho. Like get over it, democracy has never existed, you're just propping up a useless myth, the sooner we all understand that the better.
but anyway.

table, if you think this place is predominantly centrist then you may want to try interacting with the enemy people outside of your bubble more just for comparison's sake.
