Danke.

If its refresh tags I didn't think they were supposed to work in the middle of pages, but don't trust browsers to conform to spec.

In either case, graham probably could cook up some code to prevent such malicious tags from being posted (i.e. there should never be a reason to post either javascript or refresh tags to any board on ilxor).

HELP OUT THE MODERATORS DEPT: can you link to the thread you want altered cos it saves us a lot of time?

Colin where are these postings?

DV: no.

let me know if you need a copy of the email? i dont want to make a big deal of it i just thought i should let a moderator know about it, thanks!

I don't think it's the moderators' job to correct your spelling mistakes. Type more carefully in future.

Of course, I am not a moderator.

Thanks!

Firstly, and I've said this before, I'm not sexist. Only an assclown like Sterling can think that. I'm fed of explaining why I'm not sexist - but if you take a look at my threads you'll see there is nothing being said against women that is not being said about men either (I've had some digs at various male celebs too). Also, the threads are so over the top ludicrious that I honestly do get shocked when some moron comes along and says (with their wonderful psuedo-liberalism): "Oh my God, there's women on this forum and you talk about Missy Elliot being a bit on the smelly side how DARE you?" Likewise, someone once said I was homophobic for, crimes of crimes, insinuating that feeling attracted to Cerys Matthews might indicate you like to be manhandled. I'm still confused over why this would make me a homophobe but I'm really hoping to find out because I consider myself to have no prejudices at all and hold this quite proudly.

Also, Kate was one member moaning about my threads. But I see she can post, on ILE, 'Christ I'm can hardly walk this morning' and then go on about how she's had a good shagging in the thread content or start a thread called 'Kate's bored let's talk about ARSE'. I mean, the sex threads on ILE are a lot more explicit and real than any of the cartoonish stuff I've posted which is there to maybe make you chuckle but certainly not for some idiot like Sterling to start whining about as if the guy's never fucking lived! Christ man, go to an amatuer comedy night or walk into Soho Square or something! It's just really sad that someone so repressed and easily shocked exists. I almost want to show him a few episodes of Jam or Brass Eye or send him The Acid House or American Psycho or something. No doubt he'd have a heart attack - because it's people like this that would actually stop these sort of works being released. I find censorship a scary thing, and have rallied against it whenever I can. Sterling, remember, exists everywhere - and right now it's people like him in the Whitehouse.

But these are my points. I mean, what would happen if it had been ME and not good ol' harmless huggable Kate posting: "I just fucked some girl ALL last night and, whoooo baby, the sweat on my bed sheets and stench of used rubbers is so thick you can wash your face in it"???? Not that I'd post this because I find talking about my private life on a public forum to be really degrading to (especially) whomever my partner might be and also to myself - and I mean that, but that doesn't neccessarily mean that I'd want Kate censored or banned. It's up to her to make that decision, but if I was the guy going out with her (insert whatever you want in here, I fully expect it and could care less) I'd be VERY fucking pissed off at being discussed on a public forum.

But, hey, that's just me. Doesn't make me right or wrong. Just makes me - me. And if ILM wants to ban me (and let's face it, I'm on and off here, I'm not really a regular) then that's up to them. But where do you start and stop?

Posts containing unflagged porn images — and also certain kinds of html tricks and redirects etc — get deleted because their presence directly limits the freedom of other posters (for example, to post from work, or from ancient computers).

I'm sorry you feel so put upon Calum, though I think it's basically your own fault. I think your attention-seeking game — of trying to make ILM more like the rest of the internet — irritated a lot of different kinds of people who like ILM bcz they feel it's a haven from the rest of the net, and they have reacted in an entirely unsurprising "pseudo-liberal" way - they have, after all, heard almost everything you have to say a hundred times before, often said more amusingly. Other people think you're a comical nitwit, others just ignore you and get on with their own discussions. Possibly it's true that the only way you'll ever be paid much attention is by repeat-posting the same shrill joke over and over and over again, and thus avoiding the pitfalls of attempted originality or insight — this seems a bit sad and unambitious on your part, but like you say, you're you.

Full as they are of funny and smart ppl, these boards are also in fact open to the repressed, the lonely, the shy, the battered, the ugly, the old, the not-very-bright, the uncool (ie, to all of us, at certain times) — if this fact is upsetting to you, well, the limits of your own liberalism are actually stamped all over your behaviour. If ppl who choose to participate in reasonably open discussion groups are genuinely interested in open discussion, and not simply in the reactive or bullying mockery of all who faintly differ from them (including those who lack their sometimes ungrounded self-confidence in the sound of their own voice and the novelty of their seemingly endless conventional opinions), such ppl should probably also learn ways of listening out for how THEY THEMSELVES might be chilling or halting the more unusual bits of the discussion, driving people away before they've ever heard what they had to say.

The only thing you and I have actually argued about that I recall is sexuality, about which I — being very old and jaded and unchoosy — know a lot, and you — being young and still overtly frightened and pompous — know very little. I stopped bothering arguing with you about it because I realised all I would get back from you was lame stuff you'd read and liked the sound of — that it was a lot too early for you to have learnt how to be genuinely honest or open about this kind of stuff, with yourself above all. Also you're unusually bad at reading other people's posts accurately, let alone thoughtfully.

Calum knows exactly what he's doing, and he may be trying to hide it as "just a joke", or a challenge to pseudo liberals, but he knows also that he's just being an annoying twat.

But again, I stress, you really should take a long hard look at your record collection. If in the weird world of ILM a thread about Missy Elliot's gynaecologist is perceived as sexist I think you need to put a lot of your CDs in the bin. Don't you know that rock and roll is sexist and most male rock stars are (sssh, whisper this) in it for the carnal pleasures?

And this immature twat is probably 100 times more well read than you are.

if you want to continue this discussion on a separate thread, by my guest: don't put it on the new moderator thread, if you don't mind

[lock it now, mark s, now].
