How do we know if its the real Tom and not an impostor? I propose we put both of them in an electrified maze full of 90s indie CDs and Ayingerbrau round every turn. The evil impostor Tom will die a swift and painful death after clasping hold of the booby-trapped copy of the eponymous Blur album.

Grobble Grobble!

Cripes - I shall never lie again if that's the upshot.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 25 July 2003 15:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

There you see, out of a great evil some good may yet come.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 25 July 2003 15:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

**pete scans the destruction for the first time**

It was such a pretty red button. I just had to push it. I didn't mean no harm.

One thing I kind of miss about Greenspun now is all of the board shutdowns. I actually think it would be a good idea if the boards were to shut down for a few days so that everyone can cool down and stop being so irritable and snappish.

― Larcole (Nicole), Friday, 25 July 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

What gives you the right to say that?

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 25 July 2003 15:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fuck off, elf-boy.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 July 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

I know this is not what is supposed to go on here, and I apologize in advance, but could someone go here and add an i to the beginning of the picture link? Do it if you like, or call me a fucker if you like.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 25 July 2003 20:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's someone else's post, so no. Also, we are trying to really curtail the number of changes we make - they are surprisingly demanding on the database.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 25 July 2003 21:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

thank you n., the tinyurl worked.
thanks martin & graham, i need no further action!

a pic [Dada, keep this thread image free for reasons mentioned near at top please and thank you.]

― Dada, Saturday, 26 July 2003 05:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could someone delete my *Plonk* post from Why is Religious Education part of the curriculum but not Political Education? ? It makes little sense without Calum's preceding post.

Also, the "All Updated Posts" link off the New Answers screen is missing, which can mean people making an unneccesary search to find threads (eg, this one).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

ummmmmmmm, second problem is noted, one of us will have to look into it, it was mentioned elsewhere this afternoon.
Martin, you wanna straighten out that other problem with his post?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hm, I'm not sure what to do there, Andrew - there are a whole bunch of things reacting to some comment by Calum that has been removed. It does make it hard to make sense of several posts. Not knowing what to do, I will do nothing. Some other moderator may wish to intervene, but these changes really slow up the board a lot, so I'm disinclined to make loads of fiddly changes to lots of posts.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 20:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

for some reason, some fucking idiot posted a really disgusting picture in this thread below (in case you were wondering it's not the one of robbie williams naked but it's the one of a spider and its truly revolting.) the guy who posted it is a c***.

Taking Sides: Robbie Williams Vs Coldplay - which one is more brain numbingly, unbearably, complete and utter shite? (21 new answers)

― neil, Tuesday, 29 July 2003 21:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

the guy who posted it is a c***

If "c***" means "Calz" : watch it, buddy. If it means "cunt", you're mostly right. And the picture is as necessary as the thread it's in.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 22:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh God, I had to look, didn't I?

― Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 00:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also, the "All Updated Posts" link off the New Answers screen is missing,
I'm not sure why its missing at this very moment, but in the meantime.
http://ilx.wh3rd.net/newanswers.php?board=1&showall=true
will have to do.
http://ilx.wh3rd.net/newanswers.php?board=2&showall=true for ILM

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 01:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Its been hacked into service now Andrew F. Don't play with it too much in the next day or two or it might fall off.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 01:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

ok sommermute, i apologise. i over-reacted to the picture because i'm a card-carrying arachnophobe. maybe you could explain why the photo is necessary and what it means? and what is Calz?

― neil, Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, fair enough, Martin.

Cheers, Mr. Noodles. While I'm on the subject, the link to "Show All Questions" on the New Questions page should point to "&complete=true" instead of "?complete=true", cheers.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Never mind neil, I think Mr Noodles deleted the thread anyway.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 10:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can you send me what I asked for? You need to do SHOW CREATE TABLE on each of the tables, and then launch mysql in quiet mode and run SELECT * FROM daylight and copy the result. Then you can carry on breaking things.

― grrr, Wednesday, 30 July 2003 12:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well what do you know, your right Andrew, check back tomorrow or so.
As Im sure we have all noticed by now, Tom answered Graham on the other thread the complaint was raised on.
Sorry Sommermute, I was just feeling little patience for Callum's crap yesterday.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 13:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

disturb the pillars of capitalism

I have a problem with the slander being aimed at me by someone calling themselves Spoonered on this thread. I'm being called stuff that is seriously out of order and that genuinelly offends me. Much as I might cause some debates here that heat up I've never labelled anyone a racist or used such contemptable descriptions of people I do not know.

― Calz (Calz), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

"do you need me to point out your 'rape is not a crime' posts elsewhere? or your 'the darkies are ruining british music' "serious" posts?"

I think this should be removed, the guys saying I'm a racist, which is such cock as you know. I think that seeing that you guys remove posts from me, and others, rightfully if they are slanderous - this should be taken off too.

― Calz (Calz), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

you used racist terminology on that thread - it's fair to call you racist.

― spoon ered (spoon ered), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

censorship! censorship!

― spoon ered (spoon ered), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Get a life loser. I will not be Googled on your sick, fucked up, horrific comments - I was a victim of racism myself as a youngster and I have, grudgingly, spoken a little about myself which I don't use ILE/ ILM for. I will not tolerate your vile and sick comments and I will fucking kick your ass if we ever meet you racist, sick bastard. What a loser you are. Get a life.

― Calz (Calz), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

consider I'm not a straight white male I have no doubt you will want to try to 'kick my ass' if you ever meet me. maybe you can bring some of your jackbooted friends with you you facist twat.

― spoon ered (spoon ered), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

I deleted what is supposedly Calum's surname (no idea if it is or not or how 'spoon ered' got it) from that thread because that's totally against ILX rules.

Please drop this now.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 21:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have a problem with the slander being aimed at me

Not for nothing, Calum, but you've spent the better part of a week doing the same to me, and you don't see me crying like a girl. Get over it, learn yr lesson.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 31 July 2003 01:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

The only protection Moderators will allow you is that of not having your personal details published. If someone wants to hurl racist insults at you or call you racist, Calz, then you'll just have to defend yourself. Sorry, but this can only be taken so far.

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 31 July 2003 03:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Somebody please subtract the real name from DB's post at the end of Why are my coworkers such sociopathic dicks?

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 31 July 2003 22:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

What, the initials? Time of post, please (sorry).

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 31 July 2003 22:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fixed up.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 31 July 2003 22:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Nick, I finally figured out why Nicole hates you so goddamned much.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 1 August 2003 00:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mme la Ballerina forgot to log out for the last two posts on the aforementioned thread. If it matters anymore.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Friday, 1 August 2003 08:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

:-(

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 1 August 2003 10:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fixed that up, too. If it matters. :)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 1 August 2003 13:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Somebody please drop the 'C/D' from the prison rape thread title, and if someone could figure out why I can't -- I kept getting a 'subject save failed' message -- I'd appreciate it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 August 2003 15:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's a problem we've all had for a week or two, Ned. Maybe Andrew knows why.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 1 August 2003 15:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Bother.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 August 2003 16:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could hackers steal the 2004 election?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Friday, 1 August 2003 16:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

I reposted all the answers in a new thread and deleted the old one.
It was the best I could do at the moment

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 1 August 2003 16:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

I totally screwed up this thread

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Saturday, 2 August 2003 08:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

sorted

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 2 August 2003 09:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

1. Show All Answers is in business as far as Im concerned. Someday I'll got back and have FALSE==NULL but not tonight.
2. Show All Questions is back for the time being.
3. Moderators can now edit a question's subject.
4. Moderators can now edit a question's message without getting an error message.
