I am leaving ILX.

You broke my heart when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

Farewell, goodbye, although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won’t let go at any price
I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You’ve gotta say you will

I need you now like I need you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

They also ban dead folx.

We’re drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
I’m feeling so bad
Won’t you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You’d never know it
But buddy I’m a kind of poet
And I’ve got a lot of things I wanna say
And if I’m gloomy, please listen to me
Till it’s all, all talked away

Well, that’s how it goes
And joe I know you’re gettin’ anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn’t mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found
It’s gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

uncynical

take care!

All the best Neanderthal, stay well

yes neando, will miss you

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTHOLE will flower again upon your return

I learn from Wikipedia that actual real-life Neanderthals could create fire, build cave hearths, make adhesive birch bark tar, craft at least simple clothes similar to blankets and ponchos, weave, go seafaring through the Mediterranean, make use of medicinal plants, treat severe injuries, store food, and use various cooking techniques such as roasting, boiling, and smoking.

Which sounds like a pretty impressive holiday plan, although the article doesn't say if Neanderthals could do all of those things at the same time. Still, I like to imagine that Neanderthal is, right now, making adhesive birch bark tar, crafting a poncho, seafaring through the Mediterranean, making use of medicinal plants, and using various cooking techniques. Such as roasting, boiling, and smoking. I admire the use of the Oxford comma there. What the fuck is adhesive birch bark tar. Why would Neanderthals need glue?

Okay, waterproofing. That's a good reason. That's a good reason for inventing glue. I'll accept that. Repelling snails is another one. I'm not sure why you'd skip inventing ceramics and/or mining in favour of repelling snails, but what do I know about living in the untamed wilderness of prehistoric France? Was I there? No, I was not.

I also learn from Wikipedia that "Neanderthals are known to have collected a variety of unusual objects — such as crystals or fossils — without any real functional purpose or any indication of damage caused by use", so they weren't all that much unlike modern humans.

oh Neando, find some peace, feel better, come back and help me clog up the Prem thread with nonsense

dittoing what everyone else has said about Neanderthal and crypto.

Yeah he should buy more, I agree

Lol

See you again soon Neando!

See you on the other side Neando

taking a break, my impulsive posting style has made me realize i can be a mean SOB and i don’t want to be a dick to a community of people i value a lot. will continue to read but refrain from posting for a few weeks as i evaluate how and why i post what i do.

apologies to those i have been a dick to

I obviously don't always agree with you table, but I value your thoughts and I know you're coming from a real place. (I don't mean Philly, tho it's pretty real.) I like that you try to keep us all honest. A little ad hominemy, sure, but we can all survive sharp elbows. Breaks can be good, but don't stay away long!

take care man. one of the things that's most impressive to me about you is your self-awareness and ability to reflect and modulate your response. something i've also struggled with and learned through difficulty over time. i have no doubt you'll be back a stronger, more thoughtful and more measured poster. impulsiveness isn't necessarily bad imo! fwiw one of the tendencies i pick up from you sometimes is a purity complex, like one thing needs to be absolute evil all the time. i imagine that has its place in some contexts but i'm not sure it's in a heterogeneous message board. this coming from me, who has to battle with having strong opinions and where they might bleed over into harsh judgment and ad hominem all the time. don't mean to come across as a scold and genuinely wish you well. you've been through a lot and you deserve it.

Much love Tables. Agreed, don’t stay away long!

<3 tabes. honestly, taking the time to be thoughtful about what you're putting into this community (and what you get out of it!) is really commendable. I've had bouts this year of both not liking the sound of my ilx voice + being frustrated with certain modes of ilx discussion or posting habits, so I get where you're coming from. I have always enjoyed ilx more after a break too

Take the time you need!

table you are a valuable voice here, I hope your break is beneficial but doesn't blunt your expressions of your sense of justice

Hey table, good luck with the break. I know I'm not one of your favorite poster, but I do appreciate your fierce dedication to things you believe in, even if it leads to some abrasiveness. It's clear it comes from a good place and frustration with others for not facing issues with the deep sincerity you do, so even when I've had run-ins with you in the past I appreciate your insight. Don't stay away too long.

Can't say that i'm not pissed off after today's debacle but i am generally pro-tabes. Good luck and see you you soon.

Big fan of Table’s post here even if I don’t agree with them sometimes

Todays debacle?

stirmonster left

T — I will miss you.

i am definitely taking a break from any and all political threads! yeesh. i get riled up too easy. i'm keeping it light and fluffy going forward.

stirmonster left

Wait, he did? What happened there?

We fight all the time, table, but I'll miss you. Come back when you're ready.

Ned, see the On Djing thread

table - always impressed how you walk back and apologise pretty quickly whenever you feel you've gone overboard. Like to think that will be enough for stirmonster to come back too.

Personally don't think anyone changes much after some silence and reflection but it would be impressive if a new table comes back!

stirmonster should never leave for any reason. someone go get him.

stirmonster, stirmonster, stirmonster

(worth a try)

Speaking personally as someone who has a habit of flying off the handle here periodically, I support you table and wish you the best.

i am very much pro-table and pro-stirmonster and am selfishly hoping you’re both back sooner rather than later xx

tabes you make me nuts sometimes but i think your points of view are very important. take good care and i hope for your return to posting.

tabes, no poster enraged me like you: the way you divebombed a thread with what you thought was a truth bomb ("D.H. Lawrence was a stupid imperialist pig and I'm disgusted so many of you like him" is a fictional example but, yeah, you get the idea). The inflexibility.

A few minutes away from my laptop however reminded me that we'd probably have a better time arguing over beers in person.

I value you as a poster and I'll miss you.

i wish the table wouldn't get so pissed and mad on here though. he's gotten really mad on here at me and i barely know him. i think i just don't react that well to internet mad in my old age. i used to shrug it off but now it makes me want to flee. fight or flight! i just made that term up.
stirmonster is the bomb and i really hope he didn't go away forever.

branwell was the last person who made me want to leave and never look back. they hated me i'm pretty sure.

i'm all for people growing and learning though. i've grown! Grown huge that is. oof. so huge. and learned! a little!

Table and stirmonster are two valuable people and hope it’s just a short cooling off break.

okay Stir is back and okay on ilm.

yay!

Appreciate you and where you're coming from, table, even if some of my past comments belie that sentiment.

shortest ilx break...ever.

I hated everything I read by Bellow, Roth, and Updike— I always figured it was because I am gay?

And sassy as ever (that’s why we love him)!

came back to say 'hi, i'm back and doing better'. thought i'd only been gone two weeks, see a month has passed. jesssssssssus time has sped up.

thanks for kind words. I am mostly out of the spiral I was in, and missed you all.

Glad you are doing well Neando, happy to see you back!

Welcome back!

Welcome back, Neanderthal.

Welcome back Neanderthal, we have mostly been talking about fruit.

Neando! 💛

Good to have you back :)

heya Neando!
