Don't be scared off by the ho's!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Ask your doctor if ILX is right for you.

Ha-ha.
Y'know, I'm just analyze everything way too much. Blah blah blah blah.

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i've had that feeling before, too. not that i'm one of the old time greats . . . basically i feel that if ned tells you that you seem nice, that's all you need.
ned to thread?

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Who is Ned?

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Never heard of him.

Oh, it's you. Sorry.

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sorry too.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

For what?

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Nowell, I think you need a paper route!

― planescapin' 'til dawn (Homosexual II), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

What?

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

A hauntingly familiar echo.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Funny.

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Nowell, do you ever think anything you don't post?

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I never actually pay attention if people on messageboards like me.

Which might actually be why many of them don't.
Oops : /

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

X post
Yes, a LOT.

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

A lot what?

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

A lot of what I think, I don't post.

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

You think?

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't!

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't what?

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

There's plenty of stuff I don't post about on ILX. Some of this stuff I'd like to make threads about, but some of it is just too embarassing. Or something.

― Nowell (Nowell), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't what?

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Define something.

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Friday, 5 November 2004 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Every time Ned posts something that doesn't sound 100% like a stereotypical Ned post, I have to double-check every letter of the name and email to make myself sure that it isn't just Calum fucking about.

― caitlin (caitlin), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh. I like the fact I appear to have a brand name now. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear Nowell,

You are hereby banned from starting threads about yourself and how you're perceived on ILX. If you're a troll, you'll ignore this anyway, obv, but if you're for real, then seriously, take this lesson about interacting with grown-ups - attention seeking tends to be a bad thing and people don't appreciate it.

If you do feel the need to talk about the you/ILX interface (and obviously you do, even though it's not a very attractive trait) then please revive one of the other threads about you. But only if you've got a good reason, alright? Otherwise it becomes self-fulfilling and we WILL want you off ILX because you're a tedious, immature solipsist.

― Markelby (Mark C), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

And yes, I do appreciate the enormous irnoing of almost everything I just said.

― Markelby (Mark C), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

markelby to thread, oh wait....

(xpost)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, let me rephrase that - you're not always a tedious immature solipsist, but you're doing it too mcuh and you have to stop otherwise we'll get rapidly sick of you.

― Markelby (Mark C), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Cheers Ails :)

― Markelby (Mark C), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, you know I love you :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 7 November 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Markelby, if she really is who she says she is (and I think she is), there's about a 10% chance she'll even come back and read any new answers on this thread. But that's good advice for her, harsh as it may be.

― the apex of nadirs (Rock Hardy), Monday, 8 November 2004 00:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Let me add that by saying "I don't know if ILX is right for me" you're taking the whole thing way too seriously. ILX is not a prospective spouse or a psychatrist. You can have precisely the ammount of emotional involvement with it as you choose to. I use it as a fun thing, something to be dipped in and out of when I fancy having a chat with a whole load of people I've never met.

If you thought of ILX as more of an enjoyable passtime and less as your personal counsellor, I guarentee you that you'd do a lot better.

― Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 8 November 2004 00:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, there is by no means any kind of conspiracy to drive you off the board.

― Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 8 November 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

"ILX is not a prospective spouse or a psychatrist."

Au contraire. It's the number one spot on the internet for people to work through their "am I rockist, and if so please absolve me of my sins!" neuroses. And where else but ILX can people hung up on washed up, tenth-rate, minor league bands from a quarter century ago be encouraged to exhort "honor the fire!" ad nauseam?

― Lewshabadoo, Monday, 8 November 2004 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Nowell, I don't meant to be patronising, but you're the most paranoid person I've come across in a long time. Have a look at meditation.

deserves to be posted up top, <H1>, on the ilxor boards page, with <blink>, and <marquee> elements as far as the eye can see.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 8 November 2004 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

NO BLINK TAGS!! AAaHHHH!!

Nowell, I think everyone wonders if what they say comes over as intended. I do, certainly. It's hard to know cos you can't judge tone of voice accurately on a messageboard. Don't think a few negative reactions means a whole legion of pissed-off ilxors out there - negative reactions are always overrepresented. I wouldn't worry. Just to be clear: this post was not typed in a patronising tone of voice. But it probably will come over like that.

― beanz (beanz), Monday, 8 November 2004 11:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok. I got it.
