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

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.

cool, now turangalia's apologised we can mov

I give up. kill this damn thread, jesus christ almighty

welp

Leave bono alone

Well thank goodness we rescinded that temp ban early.

nagl

lol jealousy

i will never understand being so riled up by ilx that you tweet and post on facebook about it

no sleeping dogs here, no sir

all this talk of shootings and kidnappings and threats makes nicole being described as dangerous even absurder.

Yes uh.. this has gone to next level craycray now.

The idea of aero being on a power trip is giving me the giggles. I'm sorry.

You're a turd, Turangalila, if that is your real name.

fantastic post! cmon aero fess up someone who knows some real famous ppl has got yr number, bud. you had a good run tho, no shame.

Contrite, concise, humble, and sincere. In short, the very model of a perfect apology. Thanks for showing us how it's done, Turangalila!

Dude, you have got this entirely the wrong way around - it's not whether you can easily go from aero to $teven Ty1er - though it took me a couple on months when I returned after a gap, and even then the post in question requires you to know a bit about his previous incarnation. It's whether you can look for $teven Ty1er and find aero.

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.

On specific subjects it holds lot of weight due to experience - if someone is asking how to get a mini-flatbed truck cab on top of a regular flatbed truck cab, then it would seem a shame to ignore someone with experience of that, is all.

dying, here XD

I was not that into Ani Difranco, but my little sister was. My parents made me accompany her to an Ani show at WolfTrap. It's a pretty bitchin' place to see a show; I've seen Phish and the Monkees there as well. A few weeks later, I bought Dilate, but the only track I can remember to this day was "Untouchable Face". That's what a well-placed "fuck you" will earn you, from songwriting perspective. I didn't think she was otherwise memorable though. Anyone here an Ani Difranco fan from way, way back?

This was a popular album among staffers like a year later when I worked at Sam Goody. I realize, in terms of Ani's iconography, this is not representative cover art.

Man, it was like Little Plastic Castles and a Barenaked Ladies promo all day up in there, punctuated every third spin by "More Best of Leonard Cohen".

wtf take it to a nonbeef thread before i start beef there's a reason sane ppl can turn off ilm on sna

i remember when this were all beefs

man i have one internetless weekend and i miss Wrestlemania XXIX

In my younger days, yes, I was a pretty big fan. She's an amazing guitar player and her early stuff meant a lot to me at one point. I saw her when she toured with Little Plastic Castles and she was phenomenal. That said, I haven't listened to her in at least a decade. Very much of a certain time and place in my life for me. Anyway.

I am in awe of shootings and kidnappings and stuff. Wau.

oof. sorry.

xxpost

I get the feeling that one of the parties isn't quite ready to concede the match yet. You may still get to see a piledriver or two.

fuck it, ban this moron

i mean jesus christ what a loser. also this - "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" - from the psychopath who expected ilx to kneel at his 'um, i'm a PSYCHOLOGIST' card is hilarious and yr backstory? nobody fucking cares. EVERYBODY has a backstory. what type of psycho stalks and attacks someone who was literally engaging w/ them in no way (and does it in the name of protecting someone from a stalking and bullying that is not actually occurring), gets a temporary restraining order, and then as soon as the restraining order ends proceeds to immediately do it again, verbally lettting us know he hasn't learned anything and more importantly is not going to learn anything while adding a new dishonest martyr veneer to it? any PSYCHOLOGISTS here that can answer this? what is the technical term for the type of graceless loser who acts this way?

guys ilx user turangalia said I'm not famous wtf am I gonna do

T if I let you go through my cellphone and write down the names of the famous people are we square? you can bring your friends too

turangalalalaiamnotlistening

<3 aero could you flash your secret Famous Person card maybe? And stop wielding your fame like a might dagger ffs. Happy Monday everyone!

please lock thread

it's realy sad, it was a thread

We get it, aero. You had VIP seats at the People's Choice awards. We're impressed by your fame but do you have to mention your guest spots on Gerardo albums or how tight you are with Chef Boyardee in every single post?

wedge thread open forever

it's realy sad, it was a wedge

difranco zing in two thousand and fucking twelve is hall of fame material imo

Don't think you can really lock this thread because it's descended into people yelling at each other, as if that possibility had somehow never occurred to anyone beforehand.

Whether it should've been started in the first place is a different matter but locking a beef thread because there's a crazy beef on it doesn't make much sense.

leaving open invites more shit
