ILX Milk Carton

deadnaming not cool, flopson

I think flopson might also be confusing two very different posters

Id presumed flopson was referencing rush, unless im confusing names myself (apols if so)

oops i was referring to most recent revive of should ilxors be tempbanned for taking their beefs to other social media? (twitter/fbook/myspace/etc)? and thought that's who the post below above was in ref to

Yeah, I still miss Kate. Hope she's doing well.

not up to speed on names, sorrysorrysorry

rushomancy is currently named Kate, and has only posted once since leaving six months ago, to say

Impeach Biden.

on election day.

Based.

yeah amateurist was like a one man film school for me when I was lurking here in my 20's

I think I finally understand why j. left, seeing how they were treated on the free speech thread, but I wish they were still here. I don't know their identity on social media, if someone does, please send me an ilxmail so I can follow them there.

I, too, miss j.

me 2

hope that gbx hasn't completely drifted away

Anyone know what's up with Hadrian? Noticed he hasn't posted in almost a month. I guess I can shoot him an email.

he's building a wall, every day it's getting higher

Shot Hadrian an email, no response. We'd only had friendly interactions on here and through email. Anyone else?

Maybe I'll text! I have his number.

I've gotten to know Hadrian a bit off-board and e-mailed him three or four weeks ago--said he's just generally not having a great year, but he hoped to be back eventually.

Thanks clemenza!

I just worry about people, yknow!

Hope Hadrian is doing better and comes back soon.

Seconded.

I want EVERYBODY to come back, dammit. There are many I miss even from my short tenure here.

le bateau ivre?

i'd hate to think he got chased off by the small coterie of haters who dumped on him pretty hard for a while because he refused to condemn French laws against religious garb in schools as virulently as they thought was required. their rhetoric got very personal and nasty.

^lol, wtf?

I spoke to LBI a little while back, he has a lot going on irl but he will be back at some stage.

(xp) Are you sure that was LBI?

Yeah, reads more like the argument Aimless was sympathetic to. In any case, LBI last posted in March and his absence is for irl reasons.

I think I know who Aimless is referring to and, funnily enough, I was thinking about him yesterday (I've forgotten his dn!)

Euler?

Yes, Euler, thx TH.

Another person who last posted in March, funny how criticism of his racist posts was personal but Euler taking notes about a throwaway comment my husband made about not watching Eurovision in Israel the previous year and then trying to use it against me as a gotcha was cool and fine 🙃 If he had stopped posting after the shitshow that thread was, I wouldn’t pretend I felt sorry about it.

iirc he once admitted he has something like 14 posters killiefied. If this place became that much like hard work to him then I'm hardly surprised he's fucked off!

Isn't it simpler to just skip reading a post when you see who wrote it than to killfile them?

I think Morbs once said it was for crybabies, he might have had a good point.

You will probably not be surprised to find out I wouldn't know how to killfile even if I wanted to but, yes, feeling like you have to killfile a dozen or so fellow forum users suggests it might not be the place for you.

14 is a little high. I think my personal best was around 10 but it's ancient history.

Tbf 10 was nothing once, its half the site now

I have everyone on this board killfiled. I hope that's germane to whatever discussion is taking place here.

I hope LBI is ok.

And Euler too – my short-lived attempt at a French-language borad is even more dead now.

Honest answer: Because you don't realize what/who you're reading until you're halfway through it?

point of killfile is to reduce hard work iirc

will hit peak irony when someone suggests closing one's eyes while the post is on screen

If you've read most of the (potentially) offending post already, how bad can it be?

yeah, don't lose your head over it

meet us halfway

Top Tips:

Get some bifocal spectacles and completely black out the upper section of the lens with gaffer tape. Hold your head to a 90 degree angle and you achieve instant message borad utopia.
