Clusterfuck Summary Corner

The reason I don't feel bad giving Dr More BS a hard time is bc he obviously lives to be abused.

Just thought about what I posted in the elevator and it's actually correct. Not that I believe he finds the abuse fun, but he craves it and does everything he can to incite it.

chuckling at you printing out that post on your amazing work printer and carefully taping it up in the elevator

loool. me too.

the lawyers downstairs put up our building's march madness brackets in the elevator, so i should feel free to stick up important ILX posts.

Feel free to scrawl "yo, FUCK Ohio State" on those brackets

I went and taped up the Worst SNL Actor brackets.

Ooo! Almost as good!

jezebel ran a bracket on sex positions, you should stealth tape that one up :D

not on one of the numerous music buff forums all over the internet

don't remotely know what they are

get pissed

what on earth did bring you here anyway

i mean i know ilx is like a sneaker sole and the internet is the parking lot on the morning after woodstock '99 and all kindsa shit just sticks to it but i honestly can't remember your debut

don't remotely know what they are

I Love Baseball brought me here, and I'd say I wish I'd stayed there if it wasn't infected as well.

remy, what I "object to" is ppl with not the slightest interest in pre-Mel Brooks film comedy wasting my time. But I don't really, cuz goddamn me.

You guys need to remember I hate myself at least as much as you do. But thx for all the kindness.

aw, hugs

morbs i like you just for who you are

not because he talks like dirty harry makes you laugh just like jim carrey?

it's almost enough to make me want to remove the shock collar, but I won't fall for that :)

I don't think anyone hates you, Morbs, fwiw. I don't, anyway.

Also, you would do well to not extrapolate a lack of interest from a lack of exposure. I, for one, am looking forward to tackling these old folks films everyone seems to love.

Morbs just has a few hobby horses and sometimes he rides them hard, like we all do. God knows I have mine and I share a few of them with the good Dr. Morbius. No hate coming from this quarter.

You complain about "no one knowing you" because you're not a complete dick IRL, but ILX is the only way I know you and here the VAST majority of your contributions here are nasty, condescending, and generally negative, so that's the Bill W. I know and I don't like him.

could a mod remove the dumb "now with C. Thomas Howell" part of the thread title?

There are a number of people I know from ILX who I've never met IRL but I like them and in a way even love them based on what their posts say about them. xp

I mostly find Morbs to be pretty amusing in an absurdly grouchy way. It can be a little annoying when anyone just stomps into a thread to throw out a condescending put-down, but there were irl lols when Sherlock Jr. placed and there just HAD to be a comment about how Real Keaton Fans don't like The General.

I've laughed aloud at some of his posts and sometimes I see posts make him seem actually interesting as a person and even likable, but those are rare.

I think he's an okay bloke

Need we turn this into a pile on? Lets not, yeh?

When someone comes along playing the victim after being as unceasingly aggressive and nasty as he has been I don't think some measured critical observations count as piling on.

That said, believe it or not, I'm not trying to pick a fight.

There hasn't been a pile-on, either. There's pretty much a lone voice of disapproval.

Also I'm secretly hoping there's an Apatow picture in the Top 5 just to see the fall-out.

Billy Madison #1, ilx goes nuclear lol

are you and BJO the same person?

xxp

I have met morbs irl and he is a great guy, also I think some of y'all have some sort of blind spot to the idea that on line persona within the realm of argument isn't the same as a person.

none of you are people

that goes double for the ones i've met irl

Had I met him IRL I might like him but I passed up that opportunity bc he was so horrible online. Why would I want to meet a person who adopts the online persona of a rude, vicious, cynical killjoy?

there we go.

I was going to say that I am not my online persona but then I realized that I am actually a sweary inveterate drunk so

Lots of other people tho do have a less porous border between the two sides

Last thing: there is. It other current poster who I feel casts the pall of negativity that he does. Looking back there were some - eg Jon W. was mean sometimes but he made up for it.

Need we turn this into a pile on? Lets not, yeh?

given the constant stream of abuse and invective and insult he has been hurling at every single person in both threads for the last two weeks, two ppl saying "that's impolite" is hardly a ganging-up bully attack

tell us more

none of you are people

Ha <3

xpost: sorry I didnt mean to imply there is a pile on now, merely wondered aloud if it could not start. but I dont wanna play threadcop, so don't mind me.

I think I've finally learned how to "read" Morbs. His appreciation for Michael O'Donoghue is a pretty decent decoder ring, I find. The only thing I frown upon is his occasional personal attacks, but I'm to the point where I generally find him fun if a little OTT in his bone-dry sardonicism.

I refuse to take personal attacks srsly on a goddamn comedy film poll thread, largely because I am reserving the right to call everyone on ilx filth eating scum if/when Napoleon dynamite places

tbh if the choice was between dr. morbius and an ilx full of the innocuous, indistinguishable, hand-holding nonentities with twee display names of the sort that have come and gone in droves over the last 11 years without inducing one tiny lol in my bitter old soul, i'd choose that irascible crank every time.

Also I feel like reading morbs through the lens of a more arch Alex in NYC helps quite a bit.

Note: I don't read the politics thread if that's the other one in contention

Oh, I just pay no attention to Morbs in the political threads. That way lies madness.
