total truthbomb btw

the quirky pagination of ilx search (e.g. "view previous page" but no "view next" page -> reading backwards, spoilers galore) is too hard on my feeble brain

u need to put "" around the entire term obv xp

kinda went like this

actually i don't know what i'm saying .. i just like that cat jpg

wait so it did go on Twitter? jfc

Did it? Someone post proof if it did.

Hang on, what?

I spent the evening livetweeting a really crappy thriller.

Why would someone be so intensely watching the Twitter of someone she has such a long-documented antipathy for? That sounds... I dunno, kinda creepy.

The concept of friends, as people who have one’s back and not punching bags is quite foreign, I see.

The very funny thing about this above is that you can look at timestamps and see that this excuse got trotted out after the tweets had been discussed on here. What’s plausible deniability? I don’t know, I’m just a happy-go-lucky pixie of some sort.

What film’s this, coward?

A note on current proceedings: Branwell is now on a 7-day ban for 20 FPs in a month so currently cannot respond.

^ sleeve’s admin log has meant I’m not getting a reply to this and in the interests of fairness - i object to people calling me things on twitter that would get them fped on here, say it to me directly - would a friendly mod templock this thread?

sorry abt that

I'll hold off on locking for the moment but will do so if there's a bunch of commentary abt the poster that they can't respond to.

(maybe delete the screenshot in gyac's post? as satisfying in a popcorn.gif sense as it may be to see receipts, the point has been made now and it's probably a good precedent not to link posters' elsewhere-IDs if they don't do so themselves)

Agreed.

Yeah do what you need to.

i only brought up twitter on the other thread because I had misunderstood Christine's use of the term "subtweet" -- gyac later let me know about the tweets in question.

Do other posters ever tweet about ilx stuff? I save my beefs for the board, and also my pseudonymous podcast with thousands of subscribers.

I don't even have a Twitter account.

My position on this hasnt changed, if you have a public social media account ilx stuff shouldnt make it on there in any shape or form that would raise an issue were it known about by anyone involved in that ilx stuff

I think that's the only fair approach tbh and cannot understand any other approach

People mentioned ILX quite a bit on Friendbook when Morbius passed, not sure how I felt about that, although I probably did it as well.

nb i have posted "jol out" to my fb so i stand before you a hypocrite and guilty as any

i think i have used the phrase "oh the laughters out loud" on fb and recycled some of my ilx content related to phrases that I sing to the tune of blah blah blah, but in general, in terms of ILX vs. IRL, I try to keep refrigerated,
...

I mean, keep em separated

People in my life sometimes ask me who “all these people are” who respond to my facebook posts. I sometimes respond “message board people” and they usually respond with “what?” before losing interest.

lol ... that reminds me of that classic post with GWB aboard the aircraft carrier ... like we are all treeshy's "colorful friends"

this picture is really cracking me up its like a dream bush is having abt when everything works out just how he planned and all his colorful friends are congratulating him

I am not on twitter, but dmac otm. What happens on ilx stays on ilx.

So I should stop arguing with people on Facebook about Ralph being a sleep Viking, is what you're saying

Good points itt but arguably would it be fine if someone took their abusive shit offboard... and kept it there because we didn’t let them back? Maybe one for a different thread but this discussion just feels tangential to the main issue, can we boot this psycho for good or what

can we boot this psycho for good or what

not to diminish the real hurt people are feeling in re this poster's behavior (recent and past), and the things said/done that prompted this thread revive, which I am not going to board lawyer on behalf of the poster in question ... but can we PLEASE not use language like "psycho" here ... regardless of whether you want to talk about it in terms of mental health or not, this is a super loaded term when it comes to people with mental health problems and esp. women/non-men.

Fine, bully/abuser/narcissist work just as well since everyone here knows what I’m referring to and why it’s a bad idea to keep tolerating it

I am definitely not saying folx have no right to be angry or call the behavior toxic or abusive ... like on the thread where this all started, gyac pointed out that my behavior came across as enabling, and it was a dynamic that I hadn't noticed/acknowledged myself ... and that is not the intent of my post about your use of the term "psycho"

No I know, I take your point

Fine, bully/abuser/narcissist work just as well since everyone here knows what I’m referring to and why it’s a bad idea to keep tolerating it

thanks for respecting me here, I really do think you are an awesome person

🙂

i think it would be kind of cruel to ban this specific poster from ilx, given how invested they seem in the board and what a large role they've played in its history. not excusing the bullying, but i am not always sure they can help it. it seems sometimes like they really see the world as this zero-sum identity battle and can't really examine their behavior outside of this discursive framing. i don't know to what extent this is our problem but it just seems to be what is happening (blah blah blah, dr. treeship, blah blah).

i admire the posters who stood up this time though. that was the right thing to do and it wasn't easy.

one of the roles they've played is driving other posters off it for good

"given how invested they seem in the board "

Really? They're invested in only one or two threads, and only rarely show up anywhere else. They're not an active part of the community. Now, it's not that someone should, mind, but it also shouldn't be a question of if, and if so how much, someone is "invested". Let alone whatever role one has played in the past. No-one should get a pass for awful behaviour.

yeah fair enough. and i certainly try to stay out of their crosshairs so, you know, props once again to the posters who stood up to them. but they just seem very unhappy. the whole thing bums me out.
