Why don't we just add fucking avatars, signatures, turn into 4chan and get it over with?

markers crushin it with the image posts imo

If this is "crushin it", no wonder this board sucks so hard lately.

I mean, maybe that came off as harsh, but when people posting repeated images of Jeff Tweedy is what makes yuo enjoy ilm, maybe its time you took off for 4chan?

That is really true, that minimalism is a huge part of why I love that album so much.

Yeah, I suppose, god forbid, some of us might prefer well-written discourse as opposed to lazy, unfunny imagebomb "zings".

Fuck off, seriously. You are the worst thing on this board, ever.

oh, jon /via/ chi 2.0paws

Sorry I don't have a witty image zing that says "go away forever, you are a horrible person".

i was trying to have fun, you came in here talking shit, and somehow im a horrible person? get a clue

"I was thinkin' about the late Tim Hardin"

love that line. do wilco have any songs as good as this one?

"Horrible person" is overstating it a bit, yes, but you are a horrible poster that makes this place much less interesting to read. It would be fine if you didn't clutter up so many threads with unfunny shit.

Like I would honestly read every deej/whiney beef thread ever than see a post from "markers" ever again.

wow you're a dick

everyone relax. we all like wilco here.

If hating your lazy, unfunny style of posting makes me a "dick", well, I'm okay with that.

Damn...

markers you used to come off like a nice guy, now you're some weird over-defensive image-posting bot who'd rather be weird and 'funny' than ever post anything interesting or even straightfoward

killfile bro, now youre derailing this thread with shit people dont wanna read

this isn't exactly an urgent thread about a new album or something, it's just a dormant thread among many in which said band can be discussed, and easily ignored

i guess markers would be best to ration the loltweedies but they were kinda funny upthread

he's def a chill person....live and let live

some dude said pretty much what I was getting at in a much, much more kind and rational way

that kraftwerk cover scott seward posted is awesome!

damn... so harsh... not really sure if i'll come back from this

I just really hate that people are applauding him for such lazy, unfunny posting. ILX is usually above that sort of shit and I don't know why we would appluad that.

markers is my favorite new poster
those tweedy posts took a lot of work and are hilarious
u trippin

you're an idiot then

<3 gr8080

eh some people have such a bored love/hate relationship with posting here that they're just cool with anybody acting 'crazy' tbh. i think that has its place if you're actually going to be funny or bizarre about it, but yeah the markers thing is just...why dude, stop.

I'd rather see thoughtful discussion, but I'd take funny images over hurtful internet anger.

^^

I realize I am being completely ridiculous and irrational about this today, but the type of shit markers posts pretty much epitomizes what I hate about 85% of the other message boards out there and what I mostly love about this place.

constructive crit imo

btw i like img posts i just don't get markers & his concerns

If I had any cred worth destroying in the first place, I might actually feel guilty about going off about this today. Its just, you have people like Ned on one end of the spectrum - thoughtful, energetic, intelligent and then you have, "lollazyimagebomb". Even when deej and whiney are at their most infuriating, they at least have some passion and insight behind it.

underrated img post i have loved: rebuttal of mayne's response to various movies froma UK perspective

The (Now-Overrated) ILX Top 100 Films of the 2000s Poll Results

ILX has a long and rich tradition of imageposting, to say we're "turning into 4chan" cause you dont like the way markers does it makes u the lazy one

Its not imageposting in and of itself, its the recent frequency of it. The bigger problem is when you have people like markers that don't bother to do much else.

yeah and also markers used to be a kind of overly earnest but perfectly likable poster. his recent change in posting style feels really cynical and insecure in that context. i mean when you just cough up an "oh wrinklepaws" reference when people are trying to directly address you it feels like you're going through the motions of this how you do 'flippant' on ilx.

"directly address you"

Yeah, I mean, earnest wilco-loving "kshighway" was infinitely more fun to watch post.

ilx turns earnest poster cynical shocker

if you actually read the thread, youd notice that i bumped it to link to a pitchfork story about wilco putting on an event in my home state next year

xpost

markers, i'm sorry if jon or i pissed you off but if that's what it took to get you post complete sentences it was worth it imo

you were fine in this thread some dude. im going to cut back on unnecessary image posting all over ilm. but i stand by the tweedy & louis ck images itt and will probably post more stuff like that in the future, just not everywhere

yeah i mean we all post some silly images and shit sometimes, imo it's all about moderation

everyone relax. we all are like wilco here.

fixed

i feel liek thats the final step on the ilx journey: earnest music poster > stando ile person > sub bord mainstay > indecipherable one liners > sock master

being there came out the same week as ironman by ghostface IIRC

TOP FACT

Also, markers (pretending you don't already have me killfiled), you don't need to constantly evaluate and revise your "posting style" or "personal brand" or w/e. I liked you just fine back when you were engaging in the metal threads and getting all excited and interested in things, I just felt like you've been devolving since then and getting really, really annoying. Obviously I am not one that should be judging other people for posting styles, this thread alone has shown you have way more defenders/fans/supporters than I've ever had on this board, but the laziness was really rubbing me the wrong way (as was people holding it up as some example of great posting). I doubt that I could have handled it in a worse way than I did, but it was frustrating me. I mean, laying it all out there after being a huge asshole to you this morning, I think it comes down to feeling like I've never been taken seriously on this board and being pretty much ignored because all the stuff I'm into has way more vocal and well-spoken supporters than what I've had to offer. I'm pretty sure my bitterness this morning resulted from seeing you getting props for image-bombing the board while I'm lucky to garner 2 responses to any "serious" thread I start. Anyway, I'm done being emo and/or a total jackass on this thread.

pile-ons are sweet when spontaneous but deeply lame 'posting tips' type bros can eat one
