*slightly embarrassed*

how does one type in italics?

FAQ updated: it refers technical questions to Graham for the moment, until someone else steps up.

HTML questions shd probably not go on the shouting for the moderator thread seeing as even 12 millimeter lizards can answer them!

Hey, Jess is messing with my posts on the Truckers with Indie Hats thread. I'm perfectly happy to spar with Jess -- hell, he's so offensive you can't help it -- but not if he can actually go into the HTML to make himself look less foolish after the event, and then mess around with my HTML when I point out that this makes my subsequent posts senseless (eg this, which he may even have changed back by now, who knows):

'(I see Jess has used his ~~moderator privileges~~godlike powers to make himself look less ~~foolish~~super duper by going in after the fact to ~~correct his 'famers manual' spelling blunder.~~piss me off. It makes my subsequent entry look a little odd, but I shouldn't think Jess really minds that.)

Momus'

This is a clear abuse of moderator powers.

mark s sez he doesn't want to deal with me so he told me to turn myself over to the proper authorities

(i changed it back, you big baby)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 13 June 2003 16:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

Please don't do it again, Jess, because it's only the possibility of losing which makes the game worth playing, and how can you ever lose if your spider skills allow you to leap from building to building, correct spelling mistakes, etc?

he just got probed by Doc Ock

― H (Heruy), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, I saw that abuse-of-power by Jess. My position was that it was indeed an unwarranted abuse of his privileges, but since it was Momus I thought it was okay. And it was very funny.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could we keep this thread mostly image free for faster loading please.
It will help us handle things when we get a rash of tubgirl pics being posted.

You need the laughs more than I need the respect, that's for sure Martin.

sorry Noodles!

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 13 June 2003 17:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, Momus, Martin deserves the laughs more than you deserve the respect.

Carry on, Emma. I only blink when someone is being

a) intelligent
b) generous

We should probably stop cluttering up the area around the fire bell in case there's a drill or something.

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 13 June 2003 18:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ha! I was confused by the Emma comment until I realized that's what my email address says. No, my name is the same as yours, Momus, and my email address is backwards to prevent googlization.

Can the URGENT REQUEST FOR NEW YORKER ILX0RS thread please be re-titled to indicate that the urgency has long passed? Thanks.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Saturday, 21 June 2003 12:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Much obliged if a moderator could delete this thread. I'd be even more grateful if a moderator or someone could delete my current feelings of irritability, loneliness, and sulkiness.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 10:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Cheer up! I dreamt the other day that "j.lu" was somehow code for "Julian Barnes". That will teach me to try cryptic crosswords in bed.

― Sam (chirombo), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 10:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

i'd rather not delete it j.lu, it doesn't really fall under Appropriate Deletion Conditions

just let it fall into disuse, or else turn it into something else...

(i think yr posts are always sensible and pertinent btw: "threadkiller" sometimes = "why post when j.lu just said it so well?")

(plus i am still feeling guilty that long long LONG ago i teasingly cited you as the poster most responsible for evil on ile, the point of the joke being that it seemed to me obv to EVERYTHING that you were SO NOT THIS!!)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 11:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

plus i am still feeling guilty that long long LONG ago i teasingly cited you as the poster most responsible for evil on ile

1) I don't remember this.

2) I'd actually be flattered if you meant it, because it would mean that I had made some sort of memorable impression on someone.

Can someone please re-size the pic i posted of james dean on the smoking thread? Ta & sorry! :-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 June 2003 11:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pinkpanther, resizing the pic doesn't change how big it is in terms of downloading, just how large it displays, so huge pics take the same time to download even if they are shown at small size. If it's too big we can change it to a link instead, if you like. I'm at work now so everything loads quickly...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 27 June 2003 12:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh right, leave it then. Oh & pls ignore the fact that I'm an idiot when it comes to techie things.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 June 2003 12:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Knowing less than me about computer stuff is not quite tech-idiocy (I'm one of quite a lot here who work with the things).

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 27 June 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey, you posted a link to an image. That's more than most. Definately not "idiocy".

Hullo, I fucked up visibly here Manchester Man has same phone number as God , if a kindly mod could please fix the HTML then I'd be grateful, and make an effort to always say nice things about them at all times

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 00:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hush, you. ;) I wasn't sure if that was exactly the fix he had in mind, though it certainly made the post look a lot better.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 00:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Exactly right, thank you.

haha - I've thought the same thing!

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 25 August 2003 06:49 (twenty years ago) link

he'd be all "the problem here isn't, at least not completely, trife at the spinning wheel (i suspect we're used to trifean rhetoric by now)- it's that we got at least three (ideally) distinct arguments, set up in a way such that involvement in one implicates you in the rest. so if you think this isn't the ideal URL in which to be arguing these issues, you become inseparable from the person saying that race is no longer an issue in current american society" but he'd put it better, and be right.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Monday, 25 August 2003 07:07 (twenty years ago) link

he'd totally get my vote for class president

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 25 August 2003 07:15 (twenty years ago) link

He's Finnish!

I was sad to find this out. "Kalevala" in his name is the Finnish national epic (like the Edda poems in Norway) which some of these stupid fascists use as an "inspiration" (there's nothing about racial purity there, but they use it to emphasize their "Finnishness"). Luckily, the extreme right-wingers in Finland are a pathetic bunch, we haven't had a noteworthy far right since the 1930's. I hope it stays that way.

only sometimes? I don't know why he doesn't just drop it.
Could you give a link to the message itself and we can get it faster. This may require clicking on the show all details button to see the message link.

I've tried setting up Matt Coastal as an extra Moderator, but it ain't having none of it (it comes up with a message saying "no priveleges set" when all the goddamn boxes are ticked). If you could set him up as one i'd be eternally thankful, that is if I live that long.

Oh, his username is "Matt"

I'm off to a wedding for the weekend - see you later!

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 29 August 2003 12:27 (twenty years ago) link

Shit, I'll look into banning the IP if its our same unfriend.
Unless Andrew or Martin can get it going prior, I'll get my hammer out on Saturday and fix Matt up for you.
Lynskey if your still about can you email the IP to one of the email groups we use for this sorta thing?

j-lu I think it is better to demolish that myth publicly (= everyone who reads is exposed to the truth abt it) than just delete it (= no one can read it who didn't already)

uh, there was some Geir-started thread about songs with certain words in the title that just disappeared. What's that about?

I mean just 'cause the guy is a doof, why delete the thread?

― hstencil, Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:47 (twenty years ago) link

okay so I don't have time to get mired in controversy, I've got to get going, but can whomever deleted that thread, at some point, post their rationale for doing so? It seems really arbitrary and - wait for it - creepy.

― hstencil, Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:53 (twenty years ago) link

That was me, meant to delete the image redirect from our eager grunge fan, ended up deleting Geir thread while watching Amaroso going bannanas.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 30 August 2003 14:55 (twenty years ago) link

I that a chink of that thread and theres no clear consensus that it is just a myth, so I think the thread should stay.

If you're sure it is a myth J Lu you should convince ppl on that thread.

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 31 August 2003 21:10 (twenty years ago) link
