FP: Should 31 be the new 51 y/n

#neverforget

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.

yeah it doesn't make much sense to me, shd ban Turrican anyway

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

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

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.

proud of my part in this: no way sna

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

lol i forgot that it happened in the no way sna thread

flappy's a good guy and upright citizen imo

flappy's film opinions are amongst my favourites on ile

thanks guys, i appreciate it, i love ilx

flappy bird is totally cool i appreciate them

turrican bums me out

i frequently mix up flappy and turrican, and i am shocked to find they are enemies

one of them hates future islands

one of them hates animal collective

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

true

flappy not an aggressively tedious dullard so I have no problem distinguishing him.

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.

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'

* updates xls *

I sometimes get my flappy birds, flopsons and frogbs confused, one of them is a YMO stan.

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.

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

ok back to regularly scheduled programming

lol

lol silby

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.

thank you

fp'ing you both for this disgusting display of maturity

😜

Like, I don't really give much of a shit if people get upset over my posting style

well maybe you should care. or something.

hey, it's never really upset anybody

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Once.

should be a thread where the 51'd can make one last post with full knowledge of who 51'd them

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

Sensible words from Sheldon Casino.

My beautiful thread all ruined by a disgusting display of human kindness ;_;

Lol that old chestnut about SB changing when it was renamed

Turrican kept on reiterating a phrase that ties into struggles I've had and family have had outside of here and that really bothered me.

But I still got time for him and think flappy is awesome

lol @ everyone being expected to know every posters personal history.
