I SAID ACROBAT IS SHIT

lol i have never posted to wdyll lol

I honestly don't understand what I've done. Maybe I seem too enthusiastic, too verbose, too, oh FUCK IT I'm just being myself and if you lot can't deal with it then FUCK YOU ALL. I didn't come here to be abused by no-life webfreaks who can't stand it when someone shows a bit of genuine eloquence. I came here to talk about ending threads quicker and perhaps indulge in a bit of harmless banter, and the ill-feeling is entirely of your own creation.

I'm not advocating zapping ledge's thread, I just think a mod in the NU-no-admin-log-era should have known they would have been opening a can of worms by fufilling a request w/o a discussion on it.

Is it because Marcello is an otherwise responsible poster who couldn't have known his thread would end up the way it did? Is it because he asked nicely? Is it because the rep of non-ILXors was at stake? I never got to read it, it got zapped pretty fast.

If we're not getting admin log back, at least use this board to explain non-routine admin actions.

I'm totally lost now. Which thread was that?

I stress this ye of the Miles Hunt features, but I did offer to meet you where you could have A) Punched me in the face B) Given me shit to my face C) Had a drink with me D) Actually taken advantage of meeting some new people, who would - in turn - maybe have liked you and invited you out to some cool nights in LA instead of you sitting here all day every day. But you did not. So who is the real chickenshit? Certainly not me who meet you any fucking day pal.

You have all ruined a potientally funny thread. Now STFU.

OTM

answer #1 BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL ABOUT BEING ROCKABILLY and that scene is wack!

Taking Michael Philip Philip Philip philip Annoyman's advice on how to be a shut-in aspie rube is the first step down a slippery slope!

Have we done the TS: Sufjan Stevens vs Shakin' Stevens thread yet?

oh gnoes someone acting dumb on the internets what will become of us

What is the big difference here? Neo Nazis hate people from non-Western cultures. Eminem hates homosexuals. I would call that two sides to the same story...

Wait a minute - are you alleging that Shakin' Stevens is a gay Nazi?

I wrote that post but what you see before you was edited by the ILX moderator, the 24-year old Dom Passantino. He changed the line "yeh acrobat is safe" into "If I meet acrobat I'll kick her in the face for destroying ILX. The fucking bitch." I've talked to Mr. Acrobat on several occasions and many of my good friends and close with him and I would like to personally apologize for what can only be deemed as a juvenile and unfunny joke. The original line called him "safe," denoting the fact that he is the most popular of the recent new ILX posters and one most people relate to and enjoy. How that can be changed and legitmately defended as a proper edit is beyond me and behalf of myself I would like to apologize to Mr. Acrobat and anyone this may have offended even if I did not write it in the first place. I have recently quit ILX after a similar yet much less offensive edit was made in my Graham Poll poll thread. There is no excuse for what the line in this thread you have just read, probably in as much shock as I was. This will probably be deleted and the edit never changed which is quite unfortunate. Sincerely, yr pal MPPPpA Sr.

This is the weirdest fucking thread. I didn't get it at all until acrobat posted Stormy Davis's classic beratement of me.

jaymc: the supposed lack of awareness and discretion re worth of opinions (or at least the worth of their frequency+monotony) is tantamount to actual contempt - towards the board and it's readers, a perverse arrogance and just general delusion.

Lots of us do this, but some a lot more than others.

Fuck's sake acrobat, did you really think anything on this thread would be either clever, funny, constructive, incisive, interesting or even in the slightest bit upsetting to the person you are targeting?

ah, those were the days!

Ha, this is the bomb. Utterly hilarious. All I can say is a big thankyou to acrobat for once again proving that ILX is obsessed.
The funniest thing of all is the misogyny accusations. What I would say shows a lack of respect for women is degrading to them to be your own little fuck-buddies like... oh yeah, that nice little Mark "three in a bed, I'm a slut" G. Tell me, what shows more respect? A four year plus relationship that has lasted through different world places and areas of the country or someone who thinks so much of himself and the opposite sex as to admit that he'd "be a slut" and engage on a threesome - thus, in my opinion at least, taking any sort of love, trust or compassion out of sex? Anyway, I'm not here to talk about my romantic ideals and all that, but my point is that Mark G sounds like a bit of a prat really - and one with little respect for women.

But I'm here to say "yeah Holly Valance wow" as any guy in a pub does. Hahaha, shit you guys should hear the stuff that comes out of the women's mouths I know! About other women too - it's great catty stuff, but God forbid ILX knows any real people.

jaymc - ha, what an idiot. Cannot ignore a few threads on an internet chat room. What? You not got the self control? ILX means so much to you that you actually think the odd thread ruins your life and you need to start this shit up? A thread about someone you don't know? HILARIOUS. Grow up man, there's more to life than this silly little forum. Same goes for Michael Annoyman, who can slag me off all he wants but from my vantage point is nearly always on here and wants to date via Friendster. C'mon chaps and chappettes - he lives in LA and can't pull? You need more of a character profile?

Y'know, thing is, ILX is kinda fun. It's a laugh, there's some informed opinions on here and even guys like ledge seem like they'd be pretty cool in person. Now and again he's made me laugh, same with Ms Misery and some others. Marcello is hilarious, a very wise chap - there's good folk on here. Just don't let the nerds ruin it. And stop obsessing over me ok? Having the time to photoshop images onto pictures just indicates to me that you've maybe got too much time on your hands. As I have right now, I admit, hence this dumbass long post.

How dare you, quite frankly.

It's just a bit of..

Frankly it's a miracle no-one was killed

It's OK, I understand, this aint no never-never land.

Fuck's sake Mark, did you really think anything on this thread would be either clever, funny, constructive, incisive, interesting or even in the slightest bit upsetting to the person you are targeting?

I hope that when this issue gone I'll see you when your clothes are on

Mark G is a nob

Why have you picked The Verve's shit songs, you fucking crab-apple mulching moron?

landed gentry? (xpost)

Is there a "Hide Calum Threads" option on Preferences yet?

I wish I'd read the actual interesting, because it does sound like an interesting idea.

But I decry the lack of the whole culture of calum threads. I can remember, even when I was a kid in the 70s and early 80s, that there was a culture where you would muck about with calum threads as a hobby or fun kids learning experience. Nicky Wire in a banana suit and stuff like taht, the magazine "Popular Holly Vallance" which would always have a section of things you could try at home.

But I suppose calum threads have exploded to rapidly in development over the past 30 years that although yes, you can build your own Police Academy movie or Sleeper album or reference to giallo film in your shed, the average calum thread enthusiast doesn't have a hope in hell of building their own ... Nutty Nigel in your own shed.

He's a bit like the Fopp empire, in that respect.

I think the whole debate in the original question is F***ing retarded. People who appreciate inane banter want more than just one poster boy... What many fail to appreciate is that a thread is an artform in itself - a concept. With the availability of polls, the troll thread will die and we will never be able to appreciate this in the same way.

She was in The Butterfly Effect and Starsky and Hutch so I'd say her career is doing just fine.

any sign of recent funny in this thread?

Dom is right about the 'calum threads' comment - NO WAY IN HELL would Nick Southall be allowed to vent any of his other reactionary views in print (and yes, he has them, esp WRT dubstep). I guess it's OK to hold such views as an ancient upper-middle-class curmudgeon but I have always faced Embrace fans with 'ah no worries, your ignorant opinion dies when your thread does' I know it's OTT disrespectful, but fuck their Danny Macnamara fanboy worship. Reminds me of the time during Pixies vs Placebo when xhuxk responded to criticism of his Placebo fandom with 'well what about Embrace?' What about it? I know that on television it's permissible to call Danny MacNamara a bitch or a slut or a cunt or a whore or whatever but we don't tolerate racial epithets. Why is this?

There is a common meme amongst my friends which is 'you can't like Britpop your way to acceptance on ILM' and I LOVED when Louis Jagger wrote t'other day there was a big difference between being a Boo Radleys as opposed to a mere Ilxor with a couple of Stone Roses singles. It's hard to hate other posters for being compliant or ignorant or anti britpop-directed but I've just decided that the vast majority of the population, ILX included, have too much invested in traditional boys with guitars to want to change them or in fact to even know how, whether it's relationships, the writing of ones own songs, the division of labour between lead and rhythm. I sit there watching certain threads with the most amazing detachment because with the tiniest examination, for me, they unravel into absurdity.

i hope you've all got this out of your system now

The people who revive the most threads = the people who have the most personal unhappiness, discuss

poll!

this never happened to the other guy/non-meta thread

Just got offed is a prick

otm, that guy was a fucking douche

altho his wife seems very nice

Jesus Christ I came back because I thought this fucking childish shit was done with, have you honestly got nothing better to do than sit there with your dick in one hand half-assedly typing pathetic "zings" with the other?

I get that some people feel "political" or "activist" about taste which is fine. I used to feel that way more (and still do about certain traditional rockism debates), but in some ways I feel like the war is over and now we are living in a heaven of *so much* great music! (and not just Daft Punk wannabes).

So fucking button it OK?

I can't believe people used to post like this.

Look at me
Look at me
I'm a zing master
