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!!

I thought people were just posting in character

if we all actually posted "in character" the thread would quickly sink into unprecedented levels of self-loathing and self-deprecation

brb, i'm going to go get drunk by myself and make an animation about this

i want to step up and stop the violence and so i'm going to say that i often enjoy REDACTED's posts, even ones very much in character, and i believe that every group needs a heel (or several). also that i'm too lazy i guess to get this killfile thing to work so i'll be continuing to read posts about CENSORED and DELETED and i guess i might as well get used to it

you know some of the people i wouldve killfiled in the past i now fine almost bearable

making ilx more disjointed and having to guess wtf was going on would be way more annoying than the dumb shit people say

the dumb thing about me using the word "uppity" months back is that I was actually looking for the word "haughty". this all could have been avoided if I was a little more literate.

making ilx more disjointed and having to guess wtf was going on would be way more annoying than the dumb shit people say

tbrr it doesn't make things all that more disjointed

basically, the killfile script is a good personal "calm down" valve; I don't think I've ever left it on for more than a week

openness to the other is the only ethical value

this all could have been avoided if I was a little more literate.

quotes that sum up ilx etc

I should probably take a break tbh

I did laugh at this, I just wanted ZS to know that.

no horseshoe

nooo!

i've found from years of internet forum participation that when ppl leave, they don't tell u first, and when they tell u first, they never leave

I hope that means we can look forward to many more threads full of horseshoe.

damn she just said she was talking a break

prob gonna drink some tea and look out the window or w/e

all this clusterfucking is probably just spillover from the clusterfuck on the genderfucked thread that never got resolved. the unresolved clusterfuck will continue to assert itself until it feels completely spent and/or integrated into the host. we should start a new genderfucked thread on the noize board and just get it done and then we can go on with our lives.

Also, the people who post in the "Introduce Yourselves!" thread never actually stick around.

i pretty much assume anyone posting in "introduce yourselves!" is someone trying to establish their sock

"let's see, i'm putting myself in the mindset of a new poster here ... where would a new poster start?"

I start my socks in the wdyll thread

I start my socks in hot water and then rinse them in cold

i spent a week as sock manager in a clothes importer once fwiw

maybe this thread could go into a 100 post derail about laundry and then gr8080 will show up with a post very much in character

hi, music obsessive just like the rest of you, 19, going into second year of university studying English Lit, love cricket, footie (soccer), reading music reviews, writing poetry, being darkly amusing, the completed works of legendary satirist Chris Morris, favourite music includes both Blur AND Mogwai, neither of whom are shite, Mansun, The The, The Beta Band, Yes, early Rev, late Talk Talk, The Electric Soft Parade (all-too easily dismissed, actually. I have more to say about them at some point), The Secret Machines, Ride, Spiritualized, XTC, early Roxy, late Pulp...etc etc etc...

above all, however, i'm one crazy customer :D :D :D :D so get ready for some madnessssss!!!!! ;-)

early Rev was pretty good

it is almost the 6th anniversary of that post!

kind of bums me out when i think of what little i've done/ how little i've changed in those same 6 years

Only thing I hate is when I start reading a new thread, go ooh I know just what to say here, and then discover that I already said it in 2005.

It's like, have I not thought of anything new in 8 years?

lol when youre scrolling down and you think 'otm' before you realize youre reading your own post

"Now this guy gets it!"

quality poster thumbs up

people should otm themselves more

, being darkly amusing,

best part of the post imo

a j@gger darkly

getting ready for another ilx .... i think

now what do you call it? vacation? fast? cleanse?
