oh - i didn't think that was offensive - an unnecessary derailment, maybe, but geez, this is ilx - threads get derailed all the time.

the offensive stuff is upthread
― sleeve, Friday, 15 October 2010 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm not offended but I do think it's germane to the whole gist of this discussion. lj can be a thoughtful poster and be more specific than 'fascist state' since the US has thousands of jursdictions, each different than the other. Saying the sherrif in that county are dicks is totally fair game- I made that point myself - but I wouldn't make any sweeping statements when what I really mean to do is express sympathy for a specific incident that happened to nijoli.

we're spending too much time discussing this lj incident, when we could be posting

i don't really get how this was offensive either. misguided, perhaps, and off-topic on a delicate thread, sure.
of course i didn't think the 'attacks' on lj warranted the full fuck you response either.
― mookieproof, Friday, 15 October 2010 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm glad I tinypic'd that -- hopefully the guy I originally hotlinked that from will never know.
I would however like to thank LJ for taking his irritation at max to this thread and letting Nijoli's thread be about the care and comfort of Nijoli.

Didn't really care what he said on the other thread, but:
Someone incredibly dear to me and I had a misunderstanding that was brought about because they in turn have had a horrible day. Fortunately we're meeting in person tomorrow and it will be fine, but I'm very shaken, and I'm sorry if I come across as overly belligerent or unthinking here.
This is bullshit. It's bad enough when people pull this shit every once in a while in real life, but to do it twice-weekly here is fucking annoying. If you can't control yourself, don't get online (or IRL, don't get shitty with friends because a girl didn't call you or what the fuck ever).

Quite frankly, you are terrible at judging tone and reading nuance and you really need to stop treating the boards as a nonstop open mic improv comedy night.
this is way harsh but whatever
M White, I didn't bring up ASBOs on that thread, they were brought up as an ad hominem. Also sure I said something a bit inflammatory as a mark of my anger, sorry.

and yeah the police quota systems aren't fascist per se - they're just completely bungled remnants of aggressive bureaucracy
― acoleuthic, Friday, 15 October 2010 19:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I know you didn't, I just meant that it was brought up and was a derailment. Fwiw, I couldn't generally give a fuck about derailments except this was a real case of real angst.
― A Reclaimer Hewn With (Michael White), Friday, 15 October 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, true, which is why I got my contribution to it back on topic sharpish
my reaction to hearing that sort of story is blind rage - much like most of ILX, I suspect, but I'm not as good at moderating it perhaps
― acoleuthic, Friday, 15 October 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
And if you feel that Americans are taunting you unfairly, just remember that there are perhaps no more than a handful who even know what a silly mid off, leg gully, doosra or yorker mean.

nah see you know i'm not gonna pay any odds to that. the improv stuff isn't the problem, it's when you mean it in a flash of drama queen pique that hurts you. just dont take that on board is all, we all have shitty days.

why would lucifer be in hades? what a fuckin asshole. also, the place name Hades is translated from hadou in the Greek, i.e. Hades in the genative, so it is most literally translated as Hades' - as in, belonging to Hades (and is also occasionally rendered as Hades' House or the House of Hades). therefore, anthropomorphic cartoon animal, one could plausibly argue that you are yourself LACKING an apostrophe, thus rendering your accusation a black stone thrown in a glass kettle. FUCK YOU.

I had this thread up earlier today, on my work computer. I switched over to a different tab so I could show my grade 6 science students a photo of a duck-billed platypus on the LCD projector. Oops--tab headers are still visible. Happily, only one student seemed to have noticed. "Mr. D_______..." (points to screen). Teacher makes mad dash to computer, clicks off tab, immediately launches into speech about how wonderful and fascinating the duck-billed platypus is.
