Say something nice about another ILXor

hoos coming back would make for an excellent point at which to finally lock/delete/extinguish this fkn thread btw

are you saying that particular thread annoys you?

looks to me like he said this fkn thread annoys him

Hard to keep track of which threads people get annoyed by at this point.

This thread has the potential to be troublesome but seems kind of uncharitable to complain about it, since it is mostly a good thing.

in my head this is 'the circlejerk thread', it operates like a clique and must be quite offputting to occasionals/lurkers imo

Those threads exist - this is not one of them imo

as if they would even notice it -- it's nice to be able to say something nice about another person. i do not feel it is cliquey nor offputting, though the term "circle jerk" certainly is.

Think lurkers would be more put off by your inane posts more than anything.

I love how imago and xyzzzz__ interact, it isn’t repetitive and tedious at all

The hoos is loose

Hoos is in the house

Many steens were driven that day, I can tell ypu

hoos on first?
that's what i'm asking, hoos on first?
no i'm telling you, hoos is on first!
why you asking me for??

I think imago's just irked he hadn't been mentioned in the thread yet.

imago is an inspiration to ilx. for example, he inspired one of its most popular memes.

imago's posts add a piquancy to ilx that would otherwise be lacking

fearlessness is one of imago's leading traits

scared of all this praise rn

imago loves trail of dead as much as i loved them during the source tags and codes era, and that was a whole bunch

it makes me happy that hoos has posted here

the return of the prodigal steen

I feel like maybe there have been some misunderstandings involving Dan S on this and the xword thread but he seems to be making an effort which is kind of nice.

imago? shit i just got here

I remember posting when I was on call, lying on a futon in my office at 4 am, feeling wasted but unable to go asleep knowing I would be awakened in a moment. imago responded with humor and it redeemed the night for me. It's weird the things that stick in your mind

steenpific HOOSer such as imago

I wld like to give a thanks to Jordan for how encouraging he's been on the Elden Ring thread making me feel less like a complete NOOB.

Though I often disagree with him, Calzino shows considerable fortitude in the face of adversity, sticks by his principles and is often insightful on the politics thread, and never holds back dare we offer any mainstream political party any slack. So fair play to him.

If you can catch him in between permanent bans.

He certainly has a vibrant and trenchant political opinion for every UK politics discussion (namely ‘Fuck Kieth’).

the only good uk politics opinion

Literally every day KS does something stupid or terrible and literally every day I shake my head in amazement and think of the guy telling us not to trust him from day one of his leadership!!*

*added some exclamation marks for in character post

by the time you get 50 pages into the Eagleton book, if you don't want him to die an extremely violent death at this point, then sure - vote Labour and get the Tories out!

also the excellent Bill Brand series is available on youtube, a top class political drama and a good reminder that the Labour party has been hostile to socialism for almost its entire history.

mark s is the best ilx poster

good shitposting, good non-shitposting, funny, old as hell -- we can only aspire

(i am not *that* much younger than him)

waffle party for mark s

i like karl malone's art it is very good

you have no idea what a lift that is, right now. thank you

I would be really bothered if BradNelson and ufo left because they are two of my favourite posters here

Hard cosign

Definitely, ufo is really smart and underrated in general imo

100%

Yes, both are excellent.

otm. i read a bit of the thread and found it interesting but whatever.

sorry for threatening to leave, it’s really silly behavior i’m guilty of often, i was just upset

I don't know most ilx posters at all but recently I've quite enjoyed reading the posts by poster Grandpoint Genie.

That thread could very easily have gone totally fucking insane very fast, but instead, everyone posting has made thoughtful and substantive contributions despite clear and vehement disagreements. Good work by kate, Brad, ufo, paolo, table and everyone else. It's a model for the rest of ILX to follow, honestly.
