ILX Milk Carton

b-b-but it's always night somewhere

He was an asshole and downright mean to people. Come on. I don’t read ILX regularly and even I read enough to know that he was unwell and it resulted in abusive behavior towards posters.

I do hope he gets the help he needs but you are all trying to be way too nice about this.

I shouldn’t have said he was an asshole but he often did exhibit assholish behavior and threw tantrums in a worryingly attention-seeking and disruptive way.

Can we rename this 'thread wherein we feed the ego of the Deus absconditus'?

xp - it is highly possible I did not see such threads

who da fuck is ross

LOL. I was just re-reading an old thread where he was defending T*******n when T*******n was at his most indefensible, I don't know why he would do that.

this is fine

I always assumed a lot of shady behaviour went on on the "mystery" board which whatever. I feel like the only drama i ever recently saw was the katherine thing and I hope she comes back or maybe I just don't read those threads. The first time I ever met tombot he kicked my bf hard in the shins but I think I got over it.

Getting mad at people for being sincerely mean and offensive or like, swindling people in real is different than bitching that specific people post too much or are too try hard, that's just kind of dipshitty.

Ilx is like a dilly bar

Vanilla ice cream dipped in shit

Imagine a bunch of strangers spending a lot of time debating each other about you. Remembering things about you. Must be nice!

all you have to do is have a public breakdown multiple times, sounds like a pretty bad deal imo

this seemed like a possibility to me but it always does
prob a sock

xpost - Mayve don’t be abusive to other posters if you don’t want that to happen then.

(Not saying you are btw. I just meant that as a general rule that’s not OK.)

Yeah, seems like a pretty easy rule to follow.

otm

The ross thing was exactly as sic says, it would be like a day of blando pleasantries and then suddenly he would decide that whichever random innocuous bystander had insulted his family name or whatever and blow up and call them a “pedo” or “tard” and threaten to track them down & have their legs broken &c. Then he’d jump over to some sharing thread and say “hey guys (bystander) is making me have to leave ilx forever NOBODY TRY AND STOP ME” and everyone would be like “oh nooo we would miss all of these very cool and normal posts please stay”, then the next day he’d usually apologise to the person, then repeat. This was pretty much a weekly and later nightly thing for a few months although it seems to have passed a lot of ppl by, but it made things tiresome & unpleasant for a while. & I think enough ppl calling him out on it rather than pretending it wasn’t happening probably was what led to him cutting that shit out, & he was fine after that. He’s p well liked on here, it was just the behaviour that was unacceptable

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.

i think its sick that ilx still has board drama

wins otm and lamp otm

this milk has turned sour

this thread is 100% lactic acid

milk jokes

Wins - thank you. That is exactly what happened and what I saw. Tbh I’m surprised that ppl who seem to be way more involved on ILX than I am these days seemed to not have seen any of that but it happened repeatedly for months iris. He was abusive and manipulative and when anyone tried to offer even the nicest bit of advice he would lose his shit. I had the feeling substances were often involved in the outbursts but that doesn’t make it OK.

I couldn’t tell if lamp meant bad sick or like 80s cool sick tbh. Drama is bad but this isn’t drama imo - it’s calling out people for basic behavior that is not acceptable.

Not to be nosy but which threads were these? Must be ones I don’t read.

I don’t even know how this convo started but I was tired of people acting like the shit wins described didn’t happen because it absolutely did.

idk about drama it’s just that we’re bored/boring enough to sit around board lawyering open & shut cases from months ago, which is much worse haha

i read lamps post as languid lamps-style sarcasm against the shock at some minor board drama tbh

pls lamp if it aint so let me dream

white chocolate rosscake

so do you guys think we should've nominated hillary??????????????????????????????

don't read if u hate me

xpost

i thought people were talking about it because it's why tombot left? I only ever saw ross be abruptly mean to mookie once but a lot of referring to it. I kind of assume most people are kind of bonkers though.

its not why tb left (this time)

No but j gently discouraging Ross’s behaviour is what led to the bruneau ragequit which was p funny

i feel u on most ppl kind of bonkers but also most ppl are kind of adults is a good rule too ito how much rope to give em idk

enraqequit

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

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

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"

he didn't say that once

morelike fivce

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???????
