killfile/ block poster on zing takes the edge off ilx’s worst (tusk white album thread is Swiss cheese chez moi) but maybe The System could auto fp the fools we’ve blocked since as it is I have to actually look at the trash to fp it o/w I’m not doing my part to purify ilx

Seems like there would be plenty of reasons to block someone you didn't particularly care for that don't rise to bannable offenses. The point of blocking/killfiling is precisely that it is personal to oneself and tailors ILX to your own predilections. Banning is universal and affects all ILX.

Yeah to FP and ban people is pretty serious & really only extends to personal attacks, thread stalking, and obviously if they're being openly racist/homophobic/misogynistic/etc etc etc.

I was going to say that people who post without actually engaging with others is the worst, but maybe the worst people just have every other poster killfiled
― mh, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 18:38 (six years ago) link
do you mean ignoring people or not engaging with people in good faith conversation?

I don't know why I didn't block Turrican after he called me "the Roger Waters of 9/11"

oh i just read the white album v tusk thread hahahaha. an fp was handed out i can tell you that much

"the Roger Waters of 9/11"
Not really sure what this means?
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:02 (six years ago) link
surely roger waters is the roger waters of 9/11

I now remember why I mostly avoid ILMcan we get quotes around the word "love" in the board name plz
― mh, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:06 (six years ago) link
Quotes around "music" also a fair request imo

at least I got a new screen name out of this
― the David Gilmour of 9/11 (DJP), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:08 (six years ago) link
this is the story: I accidentally posted something in the "unusual details in wikipedia articles" thread that was meant for the twin peaks thread. it was a detail about the building in the opening scene of the first episode not existing, and that someone had figured out the made up building was in the same spot as a church that was destroyed on 9/11, along with a very old Sycamore tree. just something to think about within the twin peaks thread. then Turrican said "Flappy bird is to 9/11 as Roger Waters is to WWII," because i guess he's read enough of my posts to figure out that I lived next to the Twin Towers when 9/11 happened and felt it was necessary to insult me apropos of nothing. Fuck him.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:10 (six years ago) link
DJP with all due respect it's really not funny
do you think he has a little counter on his screen where he gives himself points for being rude
― mh, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
xp. it's at least a little bit funny
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
knowing you actually lived there, what the ever-loving hell was T doing
i'm not sure T thinks he's engaging with real people.
i mean i hope not.

"Flappy bird is to 9/11 as Roger Waters is to WWII,"
Right, I see, so you father died in 9/11.
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:13 (six years ago) link
being an annoying pedantic asshole is one thing but the 9/11 comment is so over the line & I really don't want that to become a joke because it's not funny and I'd really like to not have to read it in display names and shit, sorry if i'm being a downer
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link

none of my family died. i'd rather not get into it for obvious reasons.
jim & DJP- i really don't like that line or any reference to it because it was by far the most hurtful thing anyone has ever said to me on ILX. separate from 9/11 references, which obviously I have to deal with every day, it's a fact of life. i mean i'm not gonna FP you but i'd appreciate not having to read a display name that references a really fucking mean line directed at me
xp lol, yes. sorry for being a stick in the mud
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
tbh flappy i thought the way you changed your o.g. login name without making a fuss about it when some of us were having a go at you was v classy so

musical hang-ups about history and fathers iirc

but in flappy's case it's weird projection and personal attacks

comparing someone to roger waters is way over the line imo
― sleepingbag, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:32 (six years ago) link
otm
I took it as "he brings up 9/11 and how it affected him as frequently as Roger Waters brings up WWII and how it affected him," which is something people have said to my family and me in the past so it was especially nasty and ignorant because dude knows nothing about me
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link
total respect to you flappy bird, because I probably had a pop at your o.g. login and was probably very unnecessarily rude and tactless, such was my m.o. at the time and probably still is sometimes. Anyway you seem a million times better a poster than that unmentionable one.

― imago, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:35 (six years ago) link
Roger Waters' father was killed in WW2, later in life I think he might have wrote a few songs about this... or something. The implication being that flappy was somehow milking his personal connection/experience to 9/11 for... something or other.
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 19:35 (six years ago) link
