Hi

Don't worry, I'm not coming back. I just want to say a couple of things.

First of all, I want to say this: I'm a sexual assault survivor. I was assaulted as a teen in the back of a nightbus by an older man taking advantage of my inebriated state. And as a survivor, I would never ever ever take sexual assault so lightly as to 'troll' about it. I also don't want to talk about my trauma when I don't feel comfortable. I don't ever want to talk about it here again.

And I just want to say to anyone: Don't try and get Shakey back. Get away from here yourself instead. I will stay away. This place has made me miserable for a while now, and getting off it has been one of the healthiest things I've done in a while. Reading a couple of threads today, it seems I'm not the only one who mainly finds misery and unhappiness here. Made me miserable all over again. Nobody here is getting well informed, and nobody here is enacting change. Get away, for your own sake.

Try and stay happy everyone. That's what I'll try and do.

Goodbye, Fred. I’ll miss your contributions but I hope you do what’s right for you. I certainly agree that this place has become a breeding ground of misery.

So why are you still here?

😐

Hope you’re well, Fred.

Fwiw I certainly agree that this place has the potential to exponentially increase one’s misery through mere exposure (beware, lurkers) but it is also capable of achieving the opposite effect (ILM in particular is not toxic at all right now and hasn’t been for a long time). I’m at a point where I mostly just avoid dipping into controversies that don’t even concern me directly anyway.

ILM and ILB are OK. That’s not what people are talking about.

without getting into shit i hope things are good Fred and you will be missed

Shakey is always a good guy to have around on ILM and not just because we have similar tastes in some areas. Fred seems kind of an intense fellow, who takes things to heart, so I think some of the areas he got involved in were not good for him.

I'm a long-time lurker and only recently started posting here. If you keep away from politics and religion and beatles threads this is one of the friendliest communities I've found on the internet. Those topics always bring out the worst in people even if they essentially agree with each other.

otm

fuck you

who's this cunt?

lol

SOUL ASYLUM RULES

lmao I hope everybody is good

It’s everyone else’s fault!

u_u

Not a day goes by etc.

you're missed on the film threads Fred, wish you'd stay for what interests you and not get involved when it makes you uncomfortable.

(Good to see you, Fred - enjoy your time away, if the world stays together long enough for you to find fun in engaging back here again, hurrah for us all.)

so he posted an ad hom (based on stuff milo had posted here) and received one in reply (based on stuff he posted here). boo hoo.

oh come the fuck on. milo openly posted about owning guns and argued against gun control years back to where he was known as ILX's resident gun owner, and Shakey's post was a light dig at best. he didn't know milo didn't own guns anymore cos milo only made a few posts about it, but it barely matters because "maybe Biden will take your guns away" barely rises to "elbow nudge at a party" level of discourse.

"Rapey Mo" is the type of thing that would get punches thrown. if you can't tell the difference between those two comments, I can't help you. esp since Shakey's comment was 14-something fuckin years old and something pretty much nobody remembered. you only have to read the "right to be fat" thread to find offensively stupid things milo has said more recently than that.

oh geez, yeah, that's one of those threads that brought out some serious ugliness in ppl

Haven't seen Kate in a while, hope she's ok.

For the love of God can someone do a poll.

too easy

are religion polls notably bad on ilx, in the big scheme of things i think not?

What religion threads?

There are 390,000 Jedi Knights in the UK!

Who woulda thought, religion threads are probably more popular than the Beatle threads at this point.
