(Even if people hadn't named names, anyone reading it would still know who the people involved are, if that's going to be in their minds and affect the advice they give then there's not much you can do about it. You can't moderate what people are thinking. I hope. I don't think it's fair to accuse people who do this of being immature.)

Can someone please delete all of Kate's posts ever? They annoy me, and my annoyance could lead to anger, and my anger could lead to offending perfectly innocent third parties who want nothing to do with this Interweb nonsense. And some of these third parties are famous, and some of you creeps are just dying to get into their business.

Thanks in advance!

this is the only entertaining thread on ile this morning

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 May 2003 14:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

arrgh everyone hates me. Who'd be a moderator etc.

I didn't really think that carefully before accepting Kate's request, I guess. Though I did/do think that the request is a bit odd, seeing as most people on ILE know that suzy and kate (and ed?) live together anyway. It wasn't like Pete had any insider knowledge. But does is it a really important censorship from your point of view either, Pete?

I blame hstencil. Damn, too slow!

Dastoor and Sinker you two are worse than Hitler.

Add me to that list, Im just a slower Hitler.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 15 May 2003 14:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Makes me look like less of a smartarse and that damages my cause.

I'm thinking thin ends of wedges here thats all. And I'm getting that prickly sensation I used to get at school when I'm getting told off for something even though I don't think I did anything wrong. (Often that was hitting bullies with chairs at school, which in later life I have accepted was wrong so I daresay this will come out to shame me in the long run too).

Pete (Pete), Thursday, 15 May 2003 14:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

To anyone who is curious, the answer is elsewhere on the internet anyway.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

That Eric Clapton! Always turning up uninvited!

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's Kate Bush you idiot!

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Whatever N, get outside your box man, don't let those stars cloud your judgement.

jel -- (jel), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK, it could be Clapton but let's just say I'm confident it's Bush.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

i think kate's request was reasonable

mark s (mark s), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

In retrospect I think it was too.

hstencil, Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't, but may need to think about it more.

Who is Person X?

Who Is Person Y?

Everyone knows Kid Dracula will let JFK kip on the couch whenever he wants to. Freaky undeads.

Pete (Pete), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Does anyone else feel tacitly sucked into someone elses minidrama here?

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm more alarmed that Kate said Momus might be coming to sleep on my couch if I don't deadbolt the doors!

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

ilx: tacitly sucked into someone elses minidrama

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Does anyone else feel tacitly sucked into someone elses minidrama here?

Yes. I think it was unfair to Person X to start the thread in the first place, since the person who started the thread knew very well that everyone would know who she was talking about.

Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

yes ronan: i feel that pete demanded to know WHICH moderator violated his post purely so that he could get up in between 12-ft-Lizard solidarity and cause manipulative mischief by setting the cabal against itself

THIS BEHAVIOUR WILL NOT STAND! Our infinite INTRA-SAURIAN LOVE is as indivisible as our scaly flesh.

That is all.

dawnie (mark s), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Not that this affects me in any way beyond enjoyment of idle gossip, but how does the fact that Person X had already been explicitly identified - as I pointed out on the thread in question - by Kate's roommate on another thread affect the decision to moderate?

chester (synkro), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is all a completely ludicrous fuss over nothing. Get some perspective people.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mark S. killed Miss Kitty Fantastico!

Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 15 May 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

further to previous post:

BE IT KNOWN that in dodeca-sauria no distinctions are made between
i. in/out of bed
ii. guests/hosts
iii. parasites/hosts
iv. clients/prey

All decisions are made on this basis.

That is all/It never ends.

1/ This is what happens when I take a day off from posting

2/ I think Kate’s request was reasonable, and I most likely would have carried out said request had I been online @ thee time. I think it’s a simple matter of good manners and common something-or-other, if someone posts in thee abstrackt in such a manner, to respect that, like do as you would be done by or something. You can always go on abt it on AIM if you want to. Reading this, please bear in mind that I am a horrible prissy old fuck who complains about children swearing loudly on publick transport, and I am in fact mary whitehouse/h1tl3r who only likes it in thee “missionary position” w/thee lights out (© C*l*m R.W. 2003)

3/ I would cream myself if m*m*s were to sleep on my sofa.

4/ k8 rulz fuk all yuo h@t@z

4a/ However, if kate’s (or anyone else’s) threads annoy you, do not read them. I have recently taken to ignoring threads by annoying poster, and it makes me happier, and also it makes ilx into a more pleasurable experience, or something..

5/ In all seriousness (and I think mark s offered this as well) if you want to post anonymously in a similar manner, and you don’t want this kind of thing, email your question to me, “moderator pashmina”, and I will post it for you, devoid ov any identifying data. Downsides=
a/you will have to trust me not to blab or be a mentalist or fukc up. (I won’t, but obv I would say that, wouldn’t I? I won’t though, yea verily not even on AIM)
b/I generally tend to be online only between 7pm and 2am GMT, so I am rub if you want a quick answer (unless you think of a q between thee hours noted above)
c/ I will not forward snarky personal attax, or creepy stalky stuff on ilx posters. If you send me creepy stalky stuff, I will kill-file you.
d/ do not use terms “viagra” “penis” “teen” “hgh” “own boss” “lose weight” in yr mail title or my phancy new message rule will backhand it into thee wastebasket

Obv, you may not wish to take advantage of this offer, and that’s ok, b/c I quite understand why you might not wish to send sensitive info to some div who you have never met before, but it’s there if you want it.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 15 May 2003 20:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Stalker alert. Immediate moderator attention requested.

Let's Build an ILM Poster!

Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 16 May 2003 05:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

it's gone. ugh, fucking creepiness.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 16 May 2003 06:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thank you.

(Hope the IP address was logged as well)

Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 16 May 2003 06:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I forwarded thee ip log to the moderators yahoo group.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 16 May 2003 06:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Not all of Kate's posts ever annoy me. Making an error in judgement and asking the mods to fix it because "others can't play nice" does.)

Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 16 May 2003 06:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

quite!

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 16 May 2003 06:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can some one lock the houseguests thread please. It looks like its about to turn nasty and it's my flat that being talked about and once again kate has brought a problem with the flat to the board before talking to me. It may be in my power to fix things. I don't think this 'lurker' is helping matters.

Ed (dali), Friday, 16 May 2003 08:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

Go ahead. Fucking lock it since Ed has asked.

kate, Friday, 16 May 2003 09:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Lurker has also asked to have their post removed - I thought I had their permission to post it, but they thought that I would edit it first.

kate, Friday, 16 May 2003 09:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am also asking to please have this IP address blocked from ILE, because I am incapable of staying away of my own willpower, and I REALLY need to leave. I am totally serious about this.

kate, Friday, 16 May 2003 09:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Since the other thread has now been locked I'll post my reply to Chris here).

I disagree (he says in his best Tom Paulin way) - whilst Big Brovaz have obviously been infuence by the canvalesque production of Outkast, a cursory look at their lyrical content shows a lot more in common with pop rappers of the early nineties and the general obsession of the bling garage culture. Songs are either about asserting their identity (Nu Flow / OK) or status (My Favourite Things). That said they do compare favourably to Outkast affiliates when they too rap on such mundane matters - suchg as Killer Mike's A.D.I.D.A.S.

Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thanks. Feel free to start another thread comparing our domestic situation to Big Brother, Big Brovaz, Outkast or anyone else you fancy.

Ed (dali), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ok I locked it, if anyone feels it should be reopened go ahead, I guess. Kate I'll go and delete Lurker's post now, but blocking yr Ip is beyond my humble powers. Good, cos I'd rather you stayed.

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

(since the other thread has now been locked I'll post my reply to ronan here).

thanks, ronan.

RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Feel free to reopeni later today if you fancy, I just think there should be a little cooling off period.

Ed (dali), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thank you for locking the thread. Thank you in advance for removing my ill-advised private email quote. Who has the power to block IP addresses? Because I really DON'T have the willpower to keep myself from posting, and from talking about my private life. And these huge fights and tanglements really ARE affecting my performance at work, and even though I hate my job, I do need to keep it right now.

And I would prefer for the thread to stay locked. I'm leaving, just leave off and forget about it.

kate, Friday, 16 May 2003 09:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

kate - yank the network cable out the back of your computer. That works. Or smash the screen.

Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

I did the latter once, it was an ugly scene. Expensive laptop, too. Kate don't do this

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Smashing screen not advisable with work computer.)

Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

thanks ronan

think nothing of it.

Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 May 2003 09:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Smear screen with jam then. Or put the computer upside down.

Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 16 May 2003 10:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

i will block kate if nobody has a more strenuous objection than kate's plea
