the table is the table is a good table. i know we've bumped heads a few times in various threads, but i appreciate table's persistence in sticking with their point and often bringing up points i might not have considered, even if i don't always agree with them. anyway, just appreciating someone that doesn't just take drive-by swipes at other posters and seems genuinely interesting in a conversation.

i almost said "quietly" too, and i'm not sure why! but one of my first thoughts was "damn, i loved that defector piece Raymond quietly dropped a couple days ago"

One of the reasons that I like VegemiteGrrl so much is that she might be the only person I know who can write at length about Pearl Jam and make me enjoy reading about it. It's like some sort of miracle! But her fandom is so infectious and she really gets to the heart of why she likes something and as a result she almost makes me want to listen to Pearl Jam. That's the kind of writer I admire.
― scott seward, Saturday, 16 September 2023 16:01 (one year ago) link
Definitely. She does the same for me and GnR (and a lot of other bands of that era for whom I have no patience).
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 16 September 2023 16:02 (one year ago) link
All it takes is just a little patience, jimbeaux.

aw I just saw this, thank you everyone for the kind words! been having a bit of a tough year so this is really nice to see.
big love to all of you (and most everyone on ilx really), you’re all fab. <3
and I agree, VG rules - I always know I’m going to love a TV series or film if she loves it too

Vegemite, I was looking for a new show to watch and your high enthusiasm for Justified in its thread got me to give it a try and it has been one of my favourite things for the past 3 months, so thanks for that. Keep up the unbridled enthusiasm pls

There’s a lot to say good about so many of you! But for now:
Neanderthal is constantly OTM and funny, and his interpolations of rap lyrics to real life foolishness makes me chuckle out loud 👍🏽
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 18 September 2023 22:04 (one year ago) link
Co-sign. Neanderthal is 100% one of my favorite posters.

Love Neando. To name one thing, he has been a real inspiration for my recent karaoke explorations, although maybe I shouldn’t blame him for that.
― The Thin, Wild Mercury Rising (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 18 September 2023 22:37 (one year ago) link
Yeah, Neando is an A+++ poster.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 18 September 2023 22:37 (one year ago) link
+1 on Neanderthal, he's for real
― Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, 18 September 2023 22:42 (one year ago) link
Neando is one of the most thoughtful and consistent posters on here. He's also funny af. One of the good ones.

Gotta echo the love for Neanderthal, just remembering how abrasive and chaotic this board seemed when i first signed up, his warmth and humility was instantly the exception. Always a joy to interact with, I feel like one of the first things you learn on ILX is Neando is a good dude <3

How it’s gone this far without anyone noting his great revives of weird threads? One of his best bits
