Dissensus thread on I Love Music

Haha
This is full of snark and classics.

https://dissensus.com/index.php?threads/13578/

people were posting on that thread last Thursday dissing ilm posts from 2003

fair, we do the same here

something a wee bit off on another outside msg board scouring 16-18 year old posts for gotcha LOLs, but then again we do it to ourselves, so...I tentatively approve

WTF XPOST

just been triggered reading the old Geir posts on that dissensus thread

So this is the ILM thread on the Dissensus thread on ILM I've been hearing about

where's markers to start the Dissensus thread on ILM's thread on Dissensus's thread on ILMX

to paraphrase an ilxor, this is like if afu ra was dissing jeru the damaja

physician heal thyself

I don't mind posting one!

someone in their 27th post on their thread asks for it:

we should all just post on ilx instead. ask them to create a new 'i love dissensus' sub board for us.

but someone should just go on there and point them this way! i don't think anyone there seems too crazy, or at least no more so than dozens of characters that have come and gone this way in the past (sometimes in great shame, other times in a rage, sometimes very quietly)

i love lukas' two-way agent game here though! or maybe double agent is a bad way to put it. a diplomat!

Just so happy whenever I discover there's an old-skool non-threaded message board still out there going strong

posts about jungle at at the start of that thread (made in 2003 when I was deeply into D&B and had no idea ILM existed) deserve all the mockery handed out and much more.

it's a lot weirder when they do it, not that most of those posts don't deserve it

yeah, ppl on some other board bagging on old Geir posts is v wtf & lame

I do like this dig, tho:

these fixed gear riding latte slurpers

"croissant-munching, latte-sipping": instances of misconceived media-class self-loathing ITT

they posted me getting zinged while being objectively correct, which pretty much sums up dissensus to me ... rhetorical force disguising unearned authority

oh god the dizzee rascal thread, you fuckers

yeah benny b you don't need to crosspost everything, cheers.

benny b tell the other board I called them buttz plz

dissensus people should visit our ilx thread i think. it is fun and easy to sign up. plus, we get paid for posting over here

someone on the dissensus thread mentioned that it's cool that our archive goes back to 2001. i totally agree - i didn't start posting here til 2005/6, and then was offered a full-time position around 2009. what's incredible is that some of the same people that wrote those things in 2001 are still posting there, and that their opinions and the ways they interact have changed over time. having old posts dug up is a little embarrassing but it's also par for the course, not that big of a deal

Begun the board war has.

there must be peace

there are bigger enemies out there. like reddit

how is this not a really old thread

everyone says "ILX needs more posters. some of those younger ones, maybe that have new musical opinions."

i say no. we need older ones. people in their 40s, with experience and wisdom. a Dissensus acquisition could make us 5% older by FY22

Isnt the dissensus vs ilx thing as old as the lifespan of the former?

I joined in 2009 but am still in the mailroom. Sometimes I try to get noticed by higher ups but most of the time I give up and slack off.

we need the vaping kids buying listerine at the corner store with their yoohoo and takis

they are dissensus but we don't talk shit

I was listening to an LRB podcast (not a humblebrag) with Ow3n H and Ju1iet J the other day and Ow3n made a passing reference to the old blogging days and how it was split down lines between 'those who posted on Dissensus and those who posted on I Love Music'. He followed up with 'I was one of the few who posted on both'. Quality bants.

(Not meant as shade, btw - love Ow3n and Ju1iet. Just made me smile.)

wait how many double-agents are there?!

I briefly posted on dissensus many moons ago

TBF, that's all music criticism is. Ex post facto. By nature the critic is always behind the uncritical consumer - that's an Adornite paradox for you to wrestle with, right there.
