I applaud K3vin K. doing the terrier work and exposing the connection to jon/via/chi's abominable race war remarks.

Explanation: that thread had devolved into zero value except prurience, zing-merchantry and potential for real hurt.

while there may have been potential for real hurt, the first two descriptions are so off base as to be non sensical - would you really describe enbb sor dog latins posts as zings

okay seriously can we stop with the fucking race war thing? i'm irl getting irritated with this completely unfunny "zing". i'm not beefing or anything else, just politley requesting that it ends.

k3vin had absoltely no reason to bring it up again other than trying to stir shit up with me and part of me would really want to request the mods to do something about his shit, but i know that isn't going to happen. so all i'm doing is registering my polite request that he knocks it off.

jon/via/chi, i'm sorry dude. I thought at the end of the whole thing last time we all sort of tacitly agreed to be lighthearted about the whole thing. I'll knock it off though, since you asked.

its def not hilarious. my point is more that idg why there is an entire thread about how we shouldn't let posters pile on each other etc etc but k3vin's bullshit is excused and overlooked because its somehow "hilarious".

kind of reminds me of a mean-spirited "truth or dare" game I was on, on a bus in high school. I had to simulate a sex act with a chair, and was known as a chair-humper
it annoyed the shit out of me, but there were moments over the next few years where it'd be a funny punchline, so... whatever
so whenever you feel like getting pissed off at the race war comments, jon, just take this bit of advice from a chair-humper:
it gets better, and people forget the dumb joke if you ignore it

i don't know this thing just reminds me of the cliques that evolve on here. even wcc has a handful of defenders and speaking up for when she goes on a tear about something. but i've repeatedly asked to not have to deal with this bullshit with k3vin and not one fucking person is willing to come to my defense. like, ugh, fuck this place lately.

ha i thought this was the DOX thread who can keep the top three straight this week
like seriously i cannot believe that more people are coming to k3vin's defense than trying to understand why i'm uncomfortable with his stupid schtick. i've long suspected it but i am now 100% convinced that there is not one single poster on ilx that thinks well of me. and that a good 3/4ths of ilx would be nonplussed to thrilled if i were to just push the button.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
no one is coming to k3v's defense, jon. the only reason he mentioned the race thing is bc he saw you posting on this other thread and he saw an opportunity to do some troll-dmg. he was successful as you can see bc the thread was shortly locked thereafter. it has nothing to do w/ you. no one thinks him mentioning you was praiseworthy or excellent in any way.

i'm not going to drag anyone else into this bullshit, but i guarantee that if a significant number of well-regarded ilxors politely asked for someone else to stop equating their name with a race war - something would be done about it by a mod. but since its just me, i'm the one being told to lighten up. its ridiculous.

and gee, this is the exact same thing i've gotten "heated up" over before. so its obviously is something that bothers me. we're all asked to tread lightly around other posters for fear of upsetting them, but i'm being very specific about something i'd like to stop and still my wishes aren't being respected. it may seem ridiculous to you, but it really makes me uncomfortable and makes me not want to contribute to ilx.

jon, i am sad that a poster who is regularly unpleasant is being unpleasant to you. he is being a dick, and i too would like him to stop.
however, there is not an ilx clique in the way you are thinking of it? it is true that posters who post more often and more conversationally on specific threads tend to be conversed with more on threads with a similar profile. this isn't cos there's some selective inner group, it's cos people feel like they know each other and can therefore talk with each other more readily. i regularly feel outside of it too! but it's not a clique, it's not a gang, it's not planned, it's just people.
in this thread the reactions to kk's failure of a forced meme have been:
one person has called it hilariousone person has apologised and said he won't do it againone person has said 'i know it annoys you but i wish you'd make it a running joke'one person has said 'if you ignore it he will forget, here is a story about when this thing happened to me'
one full apology out of four responses is not a good ratio but it's also not people massed against you.

"completely impersonal" - that's disingenuous, because you know exactly how he reacts to your prodding, so when you make that silly joke you know it's going to enrage him something serious. At least own your trolling if you're going to do it, quit with the faux-naive.
