with Cal, um, Spooner as the imaginary Dabney Coleman and yr. friendly neighborhood moderator as the real Dabney Coleman!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Poor old Raymond Scott! To see his thread so traduced!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

(The whole "whacking-a-hornet's-nest-until-it-stings-you" analogy is just as applicable to the moderators as it is to the participants in The Fight, you know...)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

(but the moderator's got beekeeper suits)

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes it's me, and I know I said I'd not come back but I need a favour...

Could someone with ILM admin privileges delete the dickish posts in this thread, please?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

which are those dan?

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yours, for one.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

i figured. mr. decorum.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

The rules cut both ways; posts that are trying to stir up bad feelings are supposed to get deleted.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

ok, you're right, you should delete it. it was an oblique reference to the boy who cried wolf, btw.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't see anything that merits deletion, Dan. Is that really a rule? I think it's a matter of degree. This is just a supposedly humourous sly dig. ILE is full of that stuff.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

"supposedly humorous" nails it.

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

I should say that I am against deleting every thread Calum posts, just because they are by him. I am all in favour of deleting all his repetitive and stupid misogyny, and his threads whining that we delete same, but that one he started about strawberries was fine (possibly despite his intent) - if he revisited and started whining again, get rid of that. He has caused too much trouble and been too much of an arsehole to deserve more consideration. We should consider banning his whole IP domain too, though that would freeze out anyone else who happens to work for his employers.

I still think we should be keeping copies of his more abusive stuff. We might consider threatening to send highlights to his employers, with times and dates, pointing out that he is posting this stuff from their machines.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

whoah, martin, a lot of stuff we all write would probably be considered outside the bounds of what our employers would like us to be doing at work!

also the offending posts on the calum thread were mine, not calum's (for a change).

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

what a weird coincidence that he should post on the same day all the spooner stuff goes down!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

I posted a thread on ILM that seemed like a less-than-terrible idea at the time, but I've since been convinced I was wrong. Could you erase it? Thanks.

(Why do I even bother? I want to sit in the back of the bus too...)

― Prude (Prude), Monday, 14 July 2003 06:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone delete my pictures near the bottom of this thread: NYC FAP Photos (picture thread). I don't know if they are messing things up by being so big, I'm going to shrink them and repost. Thanks.

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 14 July 2003 11:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Prude, there was nothing wrong with your thread. Don't let nasty Josh browbeat you. I'm not deleting it.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 14 July 2003 11:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

That Girl seems to have posted her phone # again on the "EXCELSIOR" thread. Not that it's my business, but I can't imagine she wants to leave it there forever.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 14 July 2003 12:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

I've taken initial action on that; I'm assuming That Girl will quickly ask for full action to be taken shortly.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 14 July 2003 12:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Does anyone want to help me out? It's fucking up my geocities stuff and my webpage.

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'll change them to links k NA?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Done.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Damm Dan is quick on the draw

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's a gift.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

aslong as its not a gif, cause those things are copyrighted.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's not what your wife said - boo-yah!

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh yeah, and thanks Dan.

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

N.- Okay, if you say so. I'm too thin-skinned, which is probably why I don't post very often.

― Prude (Prude), Monday, 14 July 2003 14:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Moderator(s) currently around, could you just take away my last post on the dinner party thread? I was good-naturedly jesting with Ally, but now I'm worried if I offended her or anyone else and it's troubling my conscience. I don't want to throw any insinuations around here these days.

Thank you.

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 14 July 2003 16:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

seems a bit unnecessary since I A) already saw it B) don't particularly care??? WTF? Not offensive to me!

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 14 July 2003 16:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ok then leave it there, I quite like my work, honestly. See if you can put it up a bit higher, maybe cast it over in bold. Easy on the typing - I spent a hell of a lot of time getting that fucking spelling right, what with my typo-frequency on here!! Oh, and you can put a few emphatic spaces in between some of the words if you want to. Just be CAREFUL!!!!

― Vic (Vic), Monday, 14 July 2003 16:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

the chuy loco posts viewed here and here strike me as vaguely racist, 'vaguely' cuz chuy doesn't quite seem to have his stereotypes down ("mang" and "joo" tend to be more stereotypical cuban). anyhow, fyi

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 07:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

james i think it makes more sense to call mr loco on this if you feel strongly (the subtlety is surely over the heads of all outlander mods anyway)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 08:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

eh, my vigilante days are over

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 08:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

and to be honest it might be more due to....wait for it...oversensitivity on my part

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 08:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pls can you delete the pic I just put on the 'Best Men' thread. I could see it earlier, but now I cant, but anyways, I don't mind pics of me on the net but, well u know. Cheers! Sorry to be a pain!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

link?

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

sure thing.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thanx, you're a star!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 13:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can you remove the name of the bar I suggested from this post.

Tiga at Bugged Out @ The End: Jul19

It's meant to be a secret.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am very star.

Ed, that whay you want or did I screw it up (I saved the text just in case)

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also this

Tiga at Bugged Out @ The End: Jul19

three posts above the original one

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

wtf?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

technically its a private members' bar but they play a little fast and loose with the terms private and members'.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is that right, then?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

perfect. Thanks

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Cool.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Private members bars aren't secret though.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes I think it should be in giant flashing letters on the front page with "(ED TOLD US)" in brackets.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago) link
