Have you ever been misquoted?

Actually, I still maintain I was misquoted. If you have a tape, it has clearly been tampered with by the scary faceless forces of Those Who Are Out To Get Me (General Secretary and President: M. Morris).

Stevie, didn't chickfactor misquote you? Well, at least they can spell 'Poughkeepsie'. That's more than I could, till I read the interview where you were accurately quoted as saying it.

I am *always* being misquoted. Just not in the press, like you cool Stillmanesque kids.

Friend: 'Hello Mr X. Those boys are scum, aren't they?' Man: 'They certainly are.' Friend:'Thankyou very much!'

The story was printed the next day.

Look, somebody tell me, please - what the hell was Tim Hopkins doing in Q???

Hopkins was in Q

ok well im super drunk right now after playing bass in an awesome metal show and i have a hot chick waiting for me in my bed so ill say this:

fuck tom and his nu style of banning whatever he wants whenever he wants (sans admin log)

hey.. if i was a dude in his 30's, post failed marriage from an ilx chick, in a dead end job that never got laid, and had barely any irl friends i would love anonymously modding ilx too...

basically: this is the only thing dude has control of in his life.

even when he gets drunk he spends his time modding ilx. kinda sad.
fine.

you can say 6000 registered ilxors were good today but one of them that was actually totally cool, brought the lols and was a solid dude got banned for no reason was enough for me to say "fuck this shit"

tom millar obviously loves the "this is the thread where i say"
style of pussy ass bullshit posts that make ilx terrible. just see idiot thread board for that bullshit. its basically the same 4 ilxors talking about their bullshit lives that no one asked about plus tom telling us how wasted he is.

its like an episode of sex in the city with tom and ned adding in there 2 cents once in a while. wow what bunch of lols.

im not one to make a big post about leaving but fuck this shit. for reals. im leaving for gershy who is a real bro and "GOD FORBID!!!!" bumped threads that already existed....

this board is now just a bunch of rich college kids and dumb fat bitches (lets get real.... even the actual rock stars that post here are academic morons.) that wanna talk about the politics of messenger bags and facebook profiles. obviously tom wanted this. you can tell by his "dudes im totally wasted!" posts all over the dumb ass molify lingbert thread. so hay! you got what you wanted, tom!

i hope your life of never getting laid by anyone other than ally and being stuck in a dead end job is finally giving you what you wanted in life. everyone hates you btw. but hey as long as you rule who gives a fuck right?

chaki's on a rampage...!

He's gone postal

You know if I had a girl waiting in my bed... o_O

yes

I mean ILX vs. Hot Babes, c'mon dude.

yes i have.

Not in any formal sense, but I have been misquoted many times during internet (*ahem*) debates, where the person seeking to undermine my position puts quotation marks around a wildly inaccurate paraphrase of what I wrote. This is stupidly easy to call them out on, since what I really wrote is always available by scrolling up. Doesn't stop people from doing it, though.

What is galling is that stupid shit like that is such a quick and easy method for derailing any sort of adult discussion and devolving it into bickering that it generally works as intended -- if only to halt the process of their losing the argument and making everyone following the exchange forget your original point.

i'd never actually seen where the "i have a hot chick waiting for me in my bed" thing came from before

that's the real reason i revived the thread tbh

definitely been misinterpreted

;)

In college I was part of a campus group that was trying to get our school to leave Division IA in football and basketball and do things like reduce athletic scholarships, stop spending ridiculous amounts on top-of-the-line athletic facilities, etc. It was a crucial part of our platform that we were not against sports, just against "big-time" or professionalized college sports, and we always emphasized this.

Nonetheless, somehow a campus daily reporter had me in the paper as saying something along the lines of "Sports aren't good for the university," which I'm not even sure was a misquote and may just have been made up. I was quite livid about it at the time.

Hurting 2: was that the ru 1k?

harvard professors misquote me all the time. it's "buck naked" for christ's sake

when i was an education reporter, a student at a local high school paper wanted to interview me about being a journalist or something or other, so i said sure. she was nice and the interview went fine, but a few months later i saw the article and it was hilariously wrong in every aspect, from basic facts about my background to completely fabricated quotes. i wasn't anything but amused, but it did make me hope nobody i'd ever written about had ever felt that way when reading my articles.

Luckily not, but some remarks made by A Certain Lead Singer in an interview I did caused an absolute shitstorm and he tried to tell his PR he was misquoted. Not a chance - was happy to give her a transcript of the relevant page and ACLS had to apologize to me. Dude remains friendly to this day, as prolly really wanted remarks to appear because they were about AN Other musician (or three).

Whenever I used to do those 500-word new band pieces back in the day I warned the subjects that their remarks might have to be condensed/spliced for length and most were cool with that.

i think that rant has been misquoted before.

I think I've been misquoted in the Targum too, actually! Though I can't remember where or when. I just remember reading it and thinking "I didn't actually say that..."
