FP: Should 31 be the new 51 y/n

should probably change the number from 51 to 23

153 is a very holy number

i thought whiney had 4, or are you tied

No, I was using it to describe content and posting styles that resemble behavior of someone on the Autism Spectrum. No like/dislike involved. Just descriptive.

the spectrum is broad (that's why the term "spectrum" was brought into use) & calling things "autistic" is reductive, dismissive, and offensive, and I hope you'll reconsider your position on using it in this way.

it's like walking up to a buffet table and saying "this looks like some food for diabetics!"

is it bad that this makes me lol

I read a couple of other sites where people have weighed in revealing some of our ‘funny’ ex-members as real-life abusers

Is this just going to pass by uncommented on, then?

^^^^^ otm

one of them has been brought up here in the past, not much point in relitigating

they're permabanned, and the accusation was exactly zero surprise

relevant search terms?

What kind of abuse are we talkin about here

I'd like to know that. Stop the shady stuff.

Also we can give Sarahell a break now; she apologized and explained, that's that imho.

I looked for the link again recently but couldn’t find it, basically someone on m3tafilter mentioned in reference to DP that she dated him and he was an abusive pos

Rhymes with Pom Dassatino?

IchLugeMullets

yes, in case it wasn’t obvious

Well theres another D(J)P around here, didnt want him inadvertently sullied

DJP is most certainly not an ex-poster

This is fine

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

present

I am not gonna lie, the first thought that crossed my mind when I read mh's post was "shit, if I ever leave then Domcrimes are gonna follow me around like an albatross"

your crimes are fun and music/liquor/pun related, completely different ballgame

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

that's the joke

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

that's kismet, or something

31 got 31'd

seriously 51 is not working

it’s working fine. start a “ban poster” thread if you need to

can't - writer's block :(

Who is DC trying to ban?

prob JB

Not trying for a ban so much as praying for one.

don’t have to write, just copy/paste a list of links to really shit posts and put them in an admin request thread

don’t have to write an essay of justification

Who’s JB?

Maybe ILM is exploding again. The rest of ILX seems to be pretty tolerable atm. Surely one could cavil at a few posts, but no conflagrations in sight.

Think it's because Ronan criticised cat ppl then overtalked the thread where are the mods ffs

cat people ain't got no reason to live

randy newman has much to answer for

oh. I've been trying to stay away from the sexual politics threads lately, both for my own sanity and for the greater comfort of the participants.

As I was saying...

If ILX has become an intolerable hellhole recently due to insufficient banning, it has escaped my notice.

Well a poster corrected someone’s spelling in a thread about a personal tragedy that befell them so

Not more hellholish than it used to be/ The numbers have changed tho.

wtf xp

not really sure where else to post this without feeling awkward, but: our house on lawton street caught fire last week. my roommate's room, our kitchen and living room were totally wiped out, ditto the upstairs kitchen and living room, and every bedroom in the house got at least some measure of smoke and water damage. everybody has had to move out and is in the process of extracting and trying to clean/save anything not blatantly soaked and sooted to the bone. this has not really been very fun in a lightless house with face masks and headlamps. the worst thing of all is that our cat passed away of smoke inhalation, which i really don't even want to talk about. we're hoping it was quick and relatively painless.

i say all this as a preamble to, there is a gofundme for all us housemates (save Shuj4 H41d3r who lived downstairs of me - if you follow him on twitter you know he got his act together sooner to set up a fundraiser [plus had separate additional expenses to deal with] and has also shared this one). i hardly would ask any of y'all internet cats here to donate but please consider sharing, and more in the spirit of ILX, coming out to the bar-room fundraisers this friday! happy hour at marcos (broadway & malcolm x) from 2 to 8 followed by band showcase at The Gateway from 8:00 on. come have a drink, bring your friends, spread the word! i will be the frequently unshaven man wearing stupid hipster aviator glasses.

Sorry about your losses. Someone on your page should probably spell Rafael Espinal's name correctly.
