if an ilx beef threatens to take over a perfectly innocent thread you can politely direct people here.

lol I actually thought the zing was funny & it gave me a lol, it was his "tee-hee! real name!" followup. I mean if anybody hears even a cosmetic similarity between what I do and what Ani does they're basically saying "I am stone deaf & know nothing about music" on a music board so that's kind of more on dude than me

in general i think the big temp-bannable offenses - hate speech, irl zings - are being used to keep people off the streets for more ambiguous crimes against the community

i no longer believe in the power of the zing market to correct bad posting, we need to actively ban bad posters

i support big modding in theory but i dont trust the current administration to accurately judge bad posting when they see it

"this dude is being a redundant, argumentative ass for the 900th time..."

"we need you to wear a wire and get something we can prosecute on. like a bad word, or a reference to someone's job."

aerosmith difranco

she's a *tiny* bit cuter than you aero, is the only thing :)

a psychologist can diagnose the necessity for a restraining order and issue one over the internet afaik

tbh the only thing that I found more delightful than triangulating aero's identity was the realization that I now had an obligation to protect it

lol at some dude's dn

*ew* at "turanglia" jeez guys

so this guy was a jerk and not being community-minded, which if you're gonna be a bad neighbor then that seems the sort of thing that merits tempbanning, assuming we're not some anarchist free speech zone selfxp

okay, this is stupid and I'm moving it to IMP where it belongs

as an alternative to locking

forks, sensing the beef was dying down, decided to prod the cattle some more

listen pal do you have any idea how much all of this hurts MY feelings

(I'm ani difranco btw)

thought u were amanda palmer tbh

BAN AMANDA PALMER

I can't spell that motherfucker.

This is known in the business as "The Quandry of That Darn Cat"

gotta say i just feel that sb coulda sorted this one out quickly and quietly to the greater satisfaction of all concerned

yes yes zzzz

:)

I'm glad we all get together regularly to freak the fuck out at one another.

and then post-mortem it

and then re-enact it

GREAT thread

aren't you actually the overglorified female lemmy idk I could be wrong

now go get your fuckin shinebox!

<3 u omar

haha

lol ok the female lemmy is just implying i have huge moles on my face imo

or false teeth

I was thinking more musical prowess and charisma, but to each her own

lemmy plays bass
lemmy ~rules~

I mean if anybody hears even a cosmetic similarity between what I do and what Ani does if you want it to be impossible to connect your IRL self to your ILX self maybe don't refer to the former on the latter so frequently?

you mean his groundbreaking work with aerosmith

yeah, i mean the running joke that totally doesn't call attention to the fact that uabiho is NOT JUST ANOTHER POSTER if you follow me wink nudge

omg google someone without even a cosmetic similarity to ani difranco and find aerosmith

1. he is just another poster
2. if you read the thread closely you might notice that the ani difranco comparison was not originally invoked by mr tyler

Aw man my internet dies for ONE night and I miss this.

I dunno, personally I hear a really strong stylistic connection between Not A Pretty Girl and Honking On Bobo.

Ani Difranco rules and it was a disappointing choice for a 'zing' imo. We'll have a stern talking-to with Turangalila when he get back

honkin on bobo never not funny

I do want to clarify that by identifying aero I did not mean to "out" him or anything like that, I was unaware that his name had become such an issue to him as I am not a regular poster/lurker. It didn't occur to me that his name change was meant to conceal his identity, which was stupid of me I suppose. I merely was clarifying who my insult was aimed at, but I can see why it came across as malicious if he has made it clear to ILX that he doesn't want his name mentioned.

Let's not pretend, though, that he didn't actually post under his real name for around 3 years and then having changed his name, made sure to let everyone know who he was. And as part of his power game has - as you guys have let me know - requested that no one reveal this fact. Let's also not pretend he doesn't constantly allude to his career and the idea that his opinion holds more weight than everyone else's.

My own perception of his music and personality aside, I do understand wanting to conceal your identity online (but my issue wrt this whole thing is you kinda secretly don't wanna, or do you, aero?). A few ILXors who do know me personally know I have dealt with situations where because of well-known relatives, my own life has been in danger. My father was repeatedly shot and somehow survived it. *Plenty* other relatives, kidnapped. I was personally followed and threatened for years to the point of becoming strictly home-bound for over a year.

But to suddenly claim you have an issue with 'real-naming' when in reality you were just butthurt about a comment I made (I must have hit a nerve, didn't mean to make you cry, etc.) - it's bullshit. Lbr, the only reason that Ani Di Franco zing wasn't appropriate is she's, y'know, actually famous.
