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

theRZA the JZA and the NDB (darraghmac), Friday, 13 September 2019 19:33 (four years ago) link

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

aimless you seem to be in a very negative spiral of ilx comments and i hope all is well

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.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 13 September 2019 20:01 (four years ago) link

i was gonna say its possibly a question for a separate, non-leading thread

the answer, imo & tbrr, would be in the users answering that it was better now

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

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link

there are also plenty of places on the web were you can engage in problematic badinage if that takes your fancy

thats not far off an "if you dont like it, leave" rejoinder if its in fact any different at all

theRZA the JZA and the NDB (darraghmac), Friday, 13 September 2019 20:10 (four years ago) link

it's different

i like you as a poster and you don't post objectionable stuff

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 20:18 (four years ago) link

i just disagree with you

Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 September 2019 20:18 (four years ago) link

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

And we're definitely not going to reach any consensus over who were the best posters who are now sadly missed.

ync3y called me an asshole when I sang "secret *asian man" at karaoke. I should've brought up that thread.

Yerac, Friday, 13 September 2019 21:29 (four years ago) link

two months pass...

I wouldn’t flippantly make a request to delete or lock a thread, but this is foul (and repulsive to see at the top of ILM): anyone got a jewtube link to that McDonalds ad with Os Mutantes in it?

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...?

deepchord presents echosmith (unregistered), Friday, 22 November 2019 13:54 (four years ago) link

There's a possibility he bumped it so it'd get deleted

imago, Friday, 22 November 2019 14:09 (four years ago) link

not my impression from the post he bumped it with

american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 22 November 2019 14:11 (four years ago) link

Well yeah the other reason was one I wrote in the thread, now lost to history

imago, Friday, 22 November 2019 14:12 (four years ago) link

just to be clear, the dmac revive more often than not depends on whether i can make the "did we ever get this ______ted" rhyme with "sorted" and is rarely chosen out of malice

deems of internment (darraghmac), Friday, 22 November 2019 15:01 (four years ago) link

id suggest a mod grab the actual realname instance in the reviving post also

deems of internment (darraghmac), Friday, 22 November 2019 15:03 (four years ago) link

i'd just like to repeat that http://jewtube.com is not an anti-Semitic website.

if you don't believe me http://jewtube.com/2015/08/jewish-inflected-spanish-heavy-metal-atzmus-still-rocks/

dripping in fennesz (sanskrit), Saturday, 23 November 2019 00:07 (four years ago) link

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?

Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Saturday, 23 November 2019 00:11 (four years ago) link

and you're waiting 11 years to finally respond to JD?

Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Saturday, 23 November 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link

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.

dripping in fennesz (sanskrit), Saturday, 23 November 2019 01:35 (four years ago) link

You on pcp?

Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Saturday, 23 November 2019 01:42 (four years ago) link

sanskrit, why are you still here?

seriously, mods, why is sanskrit still here? i'd post this to the mod request forum but it looks like this already is the mod request forum?

Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Saturday, 23 November 2019 02:10 (four years ago) link

you on pcp?

more like garden-variety self-awarded arrogance I'd say

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 23 November 2019 02:13 (four years ago) link

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.

ok. fp'd. good luck on your ambition to get 51'd or just kicked off ILX asap. I did my bit.

A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 23 November 2019 02:26 (four years ago) link

OK, wow, banned. May have something there about the disposable personality in my case, but whatever.
