Dom is basically anonymously cyber-attacking another music writer in a way that's loathsome even for Dom. It's petty and unfair and super-uncool and not keeping it posi.

who is attacking???? how is this different from marc loi: facebook feminist which even tombot considers a classic thread???

it is pictures of dom's facebook friend that have brought great joy to me.... its not like theyre personal snapshots or something dude is mugging and dressing up like lil wayne in each one its total fair game

If you wanna lock it, whatever, but I think it sets a dangerous precedent: posting pictures we've found elsewhere is against ILX rules now?

It's no personal beef: like I say, the guy is on my Facebook friends' list. I have no grudge, I just think that the combo of white guy in fancy dress as Lil Wayne + hanging out with fat chicks is kinda of "funny because it's true" to a lot of zingtone posters. I'd rather not have it on ILE because that might mean he'd start posting, and from what I know of his message board behaviour he ain't the kinda dude to Keep It Positive. Up to you JJ.

fwiw, as i alluded on the other thread, this guy has posted on ILX a few times in the past year or so, so not really a regular but probably does fall under 'board meta' guidelines in that respect. i haven't told him about that thread or invited him to jump into the fray but depending on whether people think that's a good or terrible idea i might do that.

ha, it's all good. i didn't get to see the removed thread but you know. if i was shy about fat chicks these pics wouldn't exist. doesn't bug me, they're funny pics. doing it secretly is a little eh but such is the internet. i'd do the same to dom if dom didn't mysteriously take me off his fbook by the time i saw these. watch out you ol' chubby chaser. happy new year

mea culpa ilx is bad because it doesnt note that the ilx mea culpad for was good compared to the ilx mea culpaing

so, deems, you're saying that ilx, if not already in the gutter dripping with bean juice from a discarded can, is headed there in a handbasket?

A is for (Aimless), Friday, 13 September 2019 19:45 (four years ago) link

ilx used to be better but I'm pretty sure it's not because people were posting stuff about "fat chicks" and calling each other "fags" or whatnot, which seems to be your contention

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 19:46 (four years ago) link

not exactly that, certainly, but the bathwater/baby ratio is questionable somewhere in the "ugh how awful everything was" jim

no one is saying "how awful everything" was though. they're saying "this specific aspect of old ilx was bad". this is certainly no worse than whatever it is you do whenever anyone makes that kind of point, which is to make a bit of a sophistic argument against that sentiment which is always vague

why dyou think 'ilx used to be better', leaving specific concerns about the thread in question aside

theRZA the JZA and the NDB (darraghmac), Friday, 13 September 2019 19:59 (four years ago) link

it was better when there were more voices expressing lively opinions & individual perspectives, to be sure. however, many of the now-absent voices were encouraged to leave BY the fat jokes & fag-calling. many others have left for their own IRL reasons, not because of a more polite atmosphere. it’s a furphy to conclude that ILX would be better now if we still had three funny assholes and 12 boring assholes, whether or not we still had a hundred interesting & smart ppl who have also gone.

a lot of good posters don't post here anymore or hardly ever post. thinking about heavyweights like max read or nabisco, not dom passantino - who could be funny, but ultimately was legitimately abusive to a number of posters. this is why ilx isn't as good

no one is saying "how awful everything" was though. they're saying "this specific aspect of old ilx was bad".

I thought I made it pretty clear. Even Dom and some of the other problematic posters (e.g. Cankles) had some classic threads where they weren't shitheads.

sarahell, Friday, 13 September 2019 20:23 (four years ago) link

a lot of us will have started at least one morally dubious shit thread in 2008, but the standard protocol is to deny their existence, never revive them, and pray that they never pop up in dmac's random thread results. sanskrit did the opposite, effectively turning himself in for a crime that he'd gotten away with for the past eleven years. was he high or...?

so you're saying that when you said "jewtube" you meant the actual jewtube.com that was formed in 2006 that hardly anybody in 2008 used which for some reason would have had a McDonald's video with Oz Mutantes, neither of which have any connection to Hebrew culture at all?

i'm not saying anything, i don't know who you are, and i don't do ping pong matches with intellectual inferiors. i think i now understand what's going on, there is a certain type of disposable personality attracted to moderation. it's like when JW got banned for life for telling TOMBOT the truth, that he was an aspie cuck. carry on.

just so I'm clear about this. JW was permabanned for aiming a particular insult at another ILXor and now you are joining JW in making that same insult to the same ILXor, which I can only interpret as expressing a wish to be permabanned.
