posts very much in character

(another profound interjection from DJP)

Haha. I don't say that to undermine WCC's point, btw, I say it to reinforce that having someone point out that you can AFFORD not to be aware of things that hurt others, is not the same thing as being accused of hurting them yourself.

But if you CONTINUE to let them get hurt and not see them as part of your web, which is a web of everyone, THEN in the future you are increasingly complicit in their harm because you do benefit from people of other types/groups/populations being kept down. I mean almost everyone benefits somehow from someone else being kept back or kept down. All we are saying is, lift them up.

Yeah, I know, and I am not excepting myself from this.

some ppl seem to be confused + think that this thread is a place to post their own posts very much in character, when in fact - as i understand it - it's a place to post OTHER posters posts very much in character

people seem confused re the proper use of this thread altogether

There is a difference between a Viewpoint and a Prejudice. The difference is that a Viewpoint is usually accompanied by either direct personal experience of an issue, or study and careful interpretation of evidence relating to that issue. A Prejudice has no basis except "Well, I believe that..." People on ILX are often accepting of multiple Viewpoints, but they do not have a duty to accept Prejudices.

So you're just assuming that nothing I say is a "direct personal experience of an issue, or study and careful interpretation of evidence relating to that issue"? Is that a viewpoint, or a prejudice? I'm confused.

Or because you persist in espousing the false belief that it is somehow making a "character judgement" about you, personally, to suggest that you might be the recipient of Privilege, rather than a statement about power dynamics within a society.

People on here have been a tad bit meaner than "you might be the recipient of Privilege"

Here's a post in character for ya: go fuck yourself, Mordy.

maybe he wasnt talking about you?

strike that: more like an eclipse/first xover battle

Mordy singled out WCC on the transgender thread (since locked) a few days ago, it's not jumping to conclusions that he probably IS talking about her. And me. And probably some other people too, but if you saw the other posts it would be p disingenuous to brush WCC off that way.

to be fair, WCC has also been very strong in advocating not judging posters based on their posting history, too, though.

lol forks

power rangers/beetle borgs imo

r.i.p. noize borad

the enemy list runneth over

fwiw people who are taking life seriously:

I tried to find a picture of th0m y0rke in sexual congress with a frog but google is failing me :(

here's a serious question: can we add a killfile feature to ilx?

did that not happen a million years ago?

someone wrote a firefox extension but its not actually an ilx feature irl

it was my impression that you have to do stuff on the browser end to killfile someone - there isn't just a list you can add a name to. but maybe i'm wrong?

KILLFILE 2.0

having it baked into the site is dumb, fix your own selves

i use safari

http://lifehacker.com/322641/install-greasemonkey-scripts-in-safari-with-greasekit

i support the "suggest killfile" feature where you can choose two posters and eventually force them to killfile each other

i'll give it a try, but fyi greasekit blows and like 80% of greasemonkey scripts i've tried to install have been fail xp

jjj otm

i use an evolved manual version of killfiles where i just try to ignore people who post annoying things so that i don't end up having a serious argument on the internet

I'm also a believer in alternate solutions, like when I had some drinks a few weeks back and found the worst gross-out ilx posts and flagged them to see if I could gross out the mods :)

hahahahahaha that might explain some things

sorry man, I was going to tell you in person but I forgot, lol

I am carb free as well so I would like a

millfile

mad god otm

flag post | flag poster | post all flags

if you need help, I think the "anyone who uses the word 'uppity' is definitely making a racial slur" hardman stance so many posters were taking several months ago is a pretty good example of what I was talking about

Calling a critique you didn't understand stupid is next-level. The word uppity connotes "acting above one's station" even in an imaginary history-less universe. In the united states it has a considerably more pernicious history, of which I guess you're aware, given your funny joke in the comedy thread.

ZS otmfm

Eh, his joke in the comedy thread was a callback to all the drama that erupted back when he didn't understand that historical connotation and put his foot in it. I thought it was pretty funny tbh, almost self-deprecating?

using killfile runs counter to the true ilx experience

xp yeah i read it as a pretty solid ilx callback gag

killfile is so stupid!!
