""trolling""- has the meaning changed?

that's because elmoflames / thisisfine.gif etc

Mellomane was a classic 90s-style troll - staying polite but relentlessly refusing to engage with people’s responses to a just-provocative-enough question, so they infuriate themselves in fruitlessly attempting to address a bad-faith proposition. Masterful work.

yeah I'd be amazed if Melomane isn't an ex ILXOR doing it as a bet

the ex ilxor theory is weird to me. Do people really think a former poster spent nearly two years occasionally sock-posting anodyne* shit about ECM and Rush as the lead-up to starting this thread?

* I did see one other edgy post, but I believe it's possible to be sincerely sexist.

Yeah, clearly not an ex-poster imo. A poster who previously posted too little to know where he was (ie. blind to the room)? Mos def.

Oh fair enough, have to admit I didn't bother going over to the browser search for them.

Mos Def uses too many tropes iirc

I don't recall him participating in the classical music threads at all, though, which is a little strange given his claims about 12-tone music.

Perhaps he meant 12-tone as in "Tony! Toni! Toné!", Tone Loc and eight other tones.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is him (check the ratings):

xp lol LBI

is that a joek pom because on one hand i guess leave the lad alone if he's leaving us but on the other hand that account has set the o_O siren off something crazy

RYM'er knows what he doesn't like though, that's for sure

Hate Your Music amirite?

i mean i was looking at the films and it's a cursed website i only go on when i'm judging bad people so

I jest, but every jest is a half-truth or some such.

climate of fear only gets 1 star? that's not our melaninomone

Good catch!

I'd also like to point out that the second track on Climate of Hunter is entitled 'Dealer' and speaks of 'ice junkies'.

I wonder if mc mello meant to say he's got 12 phones

Likes a good tune I see.

RHONDA

do you all not remember raccoon tanuki

Nope, what/who was that?

Don't think it's him, I think he was actually into hip hop.

Not that that matters, I suppose, but anyway I can't see him keeping his trap shut for two years before suddenly switching to trolling mode.

That would be some God-tier trolling indeed.

Plot twist: he's a sock.

yeah I def remember RT but this isn't him

It’s not even close to RT

yes, an old sock

For pom's benefit, RT was some spoiled little public schoolboy (I thought so anyway) who showed up here for a while and gradually lost the plot when people started criticizing his posts and went on an anti-Semitic rant and got permabanned. Then he came back with, in retrospect, a fairly obviously pseudonym and lasted like a day before going full on alt-right and getting permabanned again.
He's probably working for Dominic Cummings now.

was RT a Wite Dorke sock? or am I remembering that wrong.

I don't know who Wite Dorke is tbh.

Ah, I see, thanks, Tom.

The anti-Semitic rant appears to be customary of ILX denouements before the fall. Wasn't there also a guy who was really into so-called 'world' music and whose posts about it were mostly cool and informative until he went off the deep end, Protocols of the Elders of Zion-style?

Wite Dorke = Dwight Yorke but I can't remember any more details

you're thinking of Rudipherous, pom

You mean Rudipherious

xp

Right, thanks!

who is the burrito that defined a generation? (and with that, lol, i satisfy the troll's reason to live)

Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

i'm not pissed or anything, trying not to be defensive, it's just weird

I actually think burrito generation might be a new troll

they claimed i was a "good poster", which is very kind for a troll, but would also imply that they'd been around long enough to make that observation.

goddamn, i felt like matlock just then

Anybody with senses can tell you’re a good poster within 5 minutes though

yeah, it's that fuckin Z S guy you gotta watch out for tho

People who walk by you while you’re busy shoveling eggs benedict into your face on the outside patio at a popular bruch place probably think “that guy is a good poster, I bet”

Neanderthal if you crosspost me one more time tonight I’m calling Rhonda on your ass

oooogh ugggh ooooooooog ugga oooga oooga

I can’t stop this feelin’
Deep inside of me
Let me animate your
Photos in a century or three

i thought generation burrito is just a regular ilxor with a new name and isn't here to troll per se? i don't get troll vibes from generation burrito.

weird then to be calling out km's username as if he just saw it for the first time
