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

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

oh yeah, i mean i had no idea my old username was offensive outside the USA, as soon as someone said as much, it was only right to change it
xp no worries jim! love ya ;p

huh i have no idea what flappy's o.g. login name was.

I'm really confused about this Roger Waters thing, tbh.

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.

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.

lol, calzino certainly did have a pop, if you follow my link there :D

i have researched this matter, and i offer apologies to flappy bird

i think because flappy bird and turrican are so often interlocutors in a circuitous and seemingly endless colloquy it was, at first, easy for me to also confuse the two

flappy not an aggressively tedious dullard so I have no problem distinguishing him.
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 20:36 (six years ago) link
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"
Yup, I remember this and this was pretty much the way that it was intended, although I didn't actually know that you lived so close to the twin towers when I wrote that (I've only found that out, like, right this second) - I just assumed that you were more than a touch obsessed with 9/11 and didn't bother to look into why that was. Now that I know why, it's understandable that you'd want to talk about it so much and now feel my comments were unwarranted and incredibly mean.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 21:06 (six years ago) link
i was unaware that flappy allegedly 'brings up 9/11 and how it affected him frequently' -- i had him tagged as 'knows too much about smashing pumpkins'

Like, I don't really give much of a shit if people get upset over my posting style or my opinions on music, but I really don't want to be upsetting people over their very real offline issues.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 21:22 (six years ago) link
i appreciate the apology, turrican. i don't think i talk about it that much on here but i can see how one could misconstrue w/o context i guess
and i know way too much about the smashing pumpkins

and by know too much i mean i saw 3 shows with Mike Byrne on drums

Anyhow - flappy, as much as we may have had our conflicts over music from time to time (I will never understand your Animal Collective fixation, for one), I apologise for the Roger Waters comment. It was highly insensitive and I wouldn't have made the comment in the first place if I'd truly known your situation.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 21:27 (six years ago) link
thank you

or maybe the 51'd can post it into any thread. but the 51'd will know that it will surely be the last post before banning. no time limit.

doubling back to the auto-killfiling anyone you FP, couldn't disagree more. SB being downgraded to FP, whatever its flaws, makes it about the post not the poster. good posters can make terrible posts though it is comparatively rare I guess
