This is the thread where you turn over a new leaf

Kind of a follow up to the apologies thread; more inspired by recent bad-tempered discussions and ill feeling.

as for me: I vow to only argue with points or people I don't like using Nabisco-style (albeit hugely diluted, obv.) reasoning, logic, friendliness and positivity. I am going to stop making bitchy comments, full stop.

But Mark, you are the voice of reason and always so *nice*!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to apologize to Ronan and Kate for not heeding my own advice and putting the "a necessary post" thread on a path it didn't really need to go down.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Lara, perhaps giving up sarcasm is an option for you?

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Whoa! I *meant* that because it is *true*!

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Did the thread just back-fire?

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

NB I apologise for my use of the word 'whoa'.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hoping that this would be the thread where Mark C apologised for calling me a fat pompous ugly twit, or whatever it was he called me.

I haven't stopped sobbing yet.

I am going to try to post less, or at least post more thoughtfully; I feel like I've become a real irritant and would hate for someone to be put off the board because of something annoying I have written.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I will post less when I am tired and grouchy.

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Nicole's new leaf should involve not thinking she's annoying.

I am off to the Job Shop and I will ask where to start instead of just staring at notices.

― Graham (graham), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

and obviously try to avoid being mean, even if angry.

I'v never thought of Nicole as annoying!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 14 February 2003 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I apologize to anyone I've offended with stupid comments on ILM. And to ILE, for starting another Introduction thread (although I think it's not so bad a thread, myself).

― hstencil, Friday, 14 February 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

no it's a good thread!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Lara is the Girl With The Sarcastic Tone Of Voice.

I'll turn over a new leaf by spending less time here and more on life maintainance. Tomorrow.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Woe is me. I feel like Kate.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Rowr.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I vow not to argue points Nabisco-style, because in my head "Nabisco-style" means "stubbornly banging on and clogging threads because you assume that when people disagree with you it just means that they didn't understand your point properly the first time."

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Nicole, you are only within the TTOSNIPIEK!!!! [Top Three-or-So Nicest Internet People i've Ever Known) ! Annoying, YOU? Tsk Tsk

I resolve to a)sleep more b) post less in addictive chunks and c) well just see the necessary post thread.

― Vic (Vic), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I vow to only post jokes and innuendo when they're actually funny.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

you do that already

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 14 February 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Nicole, you're bananas. Where do you get these crazy notions? "Real irritant"--yeah, right.

As for me, I'm gonna try to be more bitchy.

― Arthur (Arthur), Friday, 14 February 2003 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Nitsuh, yes, I suppose that is a pretty good description. But you do it with such CLASS!

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 14 February 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

And Lara, thank you for the compliment. It is so entirely untrue though, on ILX at least, that I couldn't quite see it like that!

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 14 February 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

*sob*

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 14 February 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan, no problem, you had your point and I had mine. We can forget about it I hope.

I'll do my best to not get irritated by what are small enough things. *analogue bubblebath begins playing, credits roll, weekend begins*

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 14 February 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I will post more to threads about music, films, books and cooking so my imaginary googlers will get those instead of threads that reveal me to be an insomniac sports fan with a keen interest in interrational dating.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 14 February 2003 17:55 (twenty-two years ago)

-racial

All my dating is interrational.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 14 February 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Hee Hee!

― oops (Oops), Friday, 14 February 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, and nobody's gonna change me,
coz that's who I am

- Kiss "crazy crazy nights"

From now on I am not going to worry about what I post or my posting style!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 14 February 2003 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I always think a good pro-community task is to try and respond to those people outside your regular circle of ilx pals. (Luckily, I have no friends so this is never a problem, ha.) I always forget to do this though. Once in awhile I realize I have been reading the board for like 2 years and there are still a bundle of other reuglars I have probably never "conversed" with. And then I feel sad. The end.

― bnw (bnw), Friday, 14 February 2003 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I vow to only post jokes and innuendo when they're actually funny.

haha, the "musty pxxn" line wins my Post of the Week, precisely because it was so uncharacteristically arbitrary and witless... more of this plz!

― Aaron A., Friday, 14 February 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i vow not to give a shit what any of you think from now on

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 February 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

suuuuuuuure

― chaki (chaki), Friday, 14 February 2003 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

what jel-- said

― erik, Saturday, 15 February 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I will post more questions and try not to post silly ones. I will try to abide by the one thread per person per day etiquette. I will not feed trolls. So help me God.
