ILX Milk Carton

we are legion

I still remember my naive salad days before I left Aeon Flux Top Level. Still not sure if it was the right decision

someone link the thread

Actually -- and I hope he won't mind me saying so -- it looks like Deric is posting under another user name now.

lol how do you know?

x-post - Erykah Badu: C /D, S&D

That's a long-ass thread though and idk if I can read the whole damn thing. Can someone summarize please?

lol how do you know?

He posted briefly on the Chicago thread about a month ago under the new name, explaining who he was, and I now see that he's posted under that name in other threads since.

Hey, now. DWH here. Much love to those who noticed my "absence". I don't mind being outed (I woulda gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling jaymcs!). I just didn't feel any need to trumpet my rebooted presence. Anyway. When arguments in this place start making me feel legit shitty and fuck up my day, I know it's time to disengage from the IL-vorteX. So no one really chased me away. It was just the confluence of that stuff happening with more frequency and an increasing desire to invest more time and energy in offline creative pursuits. But I'm still sort of around. To the relief of millions.

there are no second acts in ilx lives; wb old lunch

Oh, and I never had a chance to say before: I'm a much, much bigger fan of Erykah Badu than I am of the Flaming Lips. And we'll just leave all of that alone now.

an increasing desire to invest more time and energy in offline creative pursuits

I fleetingly contemplate this myself sometimes, but I don't know, it looks pretty scary out there. Welcome back!

Ya, I noticed too and so asked a couple weeks ago. He's taking a little end of thesis internet break.

i think he had a book out with the bfi about hitchcock because they released a bunch of his undiscovered (silent?) stuff this summer?

not undiscovered, just restored i think.

yeah there's a thing in the guardian if you google hitchcock + his name

He's one of the contributors to this:

miss you dude

i miss contenderizer

not missing contenderizer

i like contenderizer but there was a period there where every thread was getting just drowned in him, wcc, dog latin all just posting monstrous paragraphs... def relieved that's over

shhhhhhhh

flopson otm in a just-the-tip-of-the-iceberg way

kip eh

kip definitely, on the other hand i can definitely see where gr8080 and flopson are coming from. ultimately it cant be denied that being civil is of greater importance but there is some truth to the idea that posts like contenderizer's could be the source of some annoyances. that doesn't diminish the necessity of keeping it positive but there's definitely something to be said for others respecting criticisms if they're legitimate, and some are and some arent. On the other hand, people should of course be allowed to say what they think without being jumped on, but i agree that certain points and styles of posting might not really be seen as favorable on here, a generally 'smart' place.

lollll

fwiw ive never ascribed to "kip" as a guiding principle for ilx, or the rest of life

its a terrible fallacy that only creates a safe harbor for mediocrity and boredom

keep it negative meta dickhole zing posse 4 lyfe
