imago: because of a mods obligation to privacy regarding the fps or because I somehow scotched his triumphant return?

treesh: sometimes, not always. xps, mostly what noodle vague said.

Many xposts but lamp I was always a fan of your posts as well

I'd have no problem divulging my FPs (and often follow them up with a post directed at the FP-ee), but I guess I can understand people objecting to mods revealing the Ps they've F-ed.

I also love Lamp.

was always going to be hard out there for a lamp once the table stopped posting

xps: Yeah, I normally keep quiet about who FP'd which post, but if a former poster re-regs in the midst of a heated discussion about where all the former posters from the good ol' days went and then flags his own offensive post from ten years ago...

I think it's cuet and am glad you shared it. If a person fp's himself and no-one's around to witness it has the p been f'ed etc

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 13:13 (six years ago) link

People have the right to F their own P in private and, if they so choose, they can at a later date release a video to the public of their auto-FP sesh.

I’m not sure any part of this thread has reached heated status imo. Here is my capsule review.

I have a strong general animus to anything that reeks of nostalgia but there have been one or two digressions that were sort of edifying. Also y’all are some mopey fucks.

Guilty as charged.

Surely she knew what she was letting herself into when she took his and in marriage?

"idea: if you're a male and you want to increase the ratio of men-women on ilx but you don't want to invite women to come post maybe just stop posting yourself that'll help the ratio w/ a minimal amount of effort on yr part

― Mordy"

can't we just go transgender instead?

"Real talk here: I feel like Branwell and LJ have been the most shat upon posters in the 9 years I've been posting here.

― sarahell"

ahemahem*geir*

"lol I just keep thinking of shakey always being adamant he couldn't tell posters apart and had no interest in who anyone was outside of the board

this but unironically, unless someone uses their real name I probably have no idea who they are

― algorithm is a dancer (katherine)"

yeah i've never met any of you folks and it took me years to start being able to tell you apart. raggett and whiney spent years blurred together in my head. similarly tylerw and imago. it's only now that the board is "dying" that i can recognize anybody here as individuals!

ziggy the ginhead (rushomancy), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:34 (six years ago) link

tylerw and imago?!?! In fact, anyone and imago?!?!

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:38 (six years ago) link

Yeah, there are a few dozen posters who stand out as distinct entities in my mind but without the presence of, like, faces and voices and other distinguishing features beyond passages of text on a blank white screen, the identities of a lot of other people here are an unfortunate blur for me.

Lol at confusing Ned and Whiney, tho.

Here Comes The Brain Event (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:40 (six years ago) link

For those still confused, Ned is the one without a strongly-stated position on bronies.

Here Comes The Brain Event (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:40 (six years ago) link

I'm extremely proficient at distinguishing users. I hereby lay claim to jaymc's abjected crown

imago, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:43 (six years ago) link

Let's not (or let's) just throw about who has or hasn't been the receipt of the most shit without any ref to their actual behaviour like

Bully Corgan (darraghmac), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link

Nothing unfortunate about that blur tbh. It highlights the hivemindy-ness of this place.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link

Many xps I know JBR's reasons for leaving but "maybe they all left for reasons that also included wanting to break free from habitual posting on a website."

omar little, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 14:50 (six years ago) link

re: the issue of "nicey-nice" ilx - like anyone who spent any amount of time on usenet, i've got a lot of experience slinging invective. i like it, in fact - in the same way that i like drinking. 2018 ilx appeals to me because it's encouraged me to moderate unhealthy personal habits.

ziggy the ginhead (rushomancy), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 15:02 (six years ago) link

I'm half asshole on my dad's side, so I always appreciate environments that discourage indulgence in that unfortunate heritage.

Lol at confusing Ned and Whiney, tho.

Yeah. that...um. You sure wouldn't think that if you were saw us together in person. (And I have met him the once.)

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 15:12 (six years ago) link

similarly tylerw and imago
hmmmm????

tylerw, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:09 (six years ago) link

I have a feeling rushomancy's name blurrings are based on nothing more than size and shape.

Evan, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:14 (six years ago) link

what's imago's official position on "doghouse"???

It's not delivery, it's Adorno! (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link

has imago has ever posted about dylan bootlegs or grateful dead shows from the 80s & 90s

Why open another door to hell why why why

Bully Corgan (darraghmac), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:19 (six years ago) link

lmao if we could convert imago to some fancy lad version of being a deadhead i think the universe would collapse

It's not delivery, it's Adorno! (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:21 (six years ago) link

forcing imago to listen to 90s dead shows would probably be a good thread

tylerw, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:23 (six years ago) link

sounds more like a gulag

oh 90s dead shows after jerry garcia died and became an ice cream hmm ok

imago, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:27 (six years ago) link

i do feel like imago might dig some 68-69 out psych jams

marcos, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:28 (six years ago) link

Presumably the ice cream isn't indulgent enough wot

I have a feeling rushomancy's name blurrings are based on nothing more than size and shape.

happens to me too. interestingly enough, i often get confused between rushomancy and "reggie (qualmsley)" particular when they used to post heavy in the politics thread
