A Quick Plea For Sanity

I can't be the only one noticing the 'bad air' that is pervading ILM at the moment, and would just like to appeal to the better natures (if applicable) of all posters in the hope of making things a bit more civil. I won't name names, as we all know who the offenders are. Just please cease personal attacks and obvious flamebait. I don't mean we should agree on everything or stop all heated debates or anything like that, just...play nicely. Thank you.

That is la rançon du succès, unfortunately...

I apologise for that Simon Reynolds thread. It was nasty. I thought it was cool at the time. Huh-huh.

My boyfriend is currently threatening to put parental blocks on this computer to try and quell my I Love Music addiction... ;-) so worry not. Troublemakers will disappear when they have no one left to flame.

play nicely?

jesus christ.

this isn't playschool.

if somebody makes ridiculous statements that have no bearing in fact ignore them.

1) Please don't steal my email address, whoever you are. 2) My appeal was only an attempt to end the needless hostility creeping into ILM recently, not interesting debate. Argue all you want, but please don't *abuse*.

It's not much to ask, is it?

[shameless self promotion] You can! We're touring the UK in August. Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, Hull, London, Oxford, Brighton, Bath. [/shameless self promotion]

Seriously, any ILM regulars who would like to meet up in those cities, drop me a line. It could be a laff...

"1) Please don't steal my email address, whoever you are." sorry. a friend of mine did that. i agree that we should stick to music and not abuse each other..but people like to be annoying and you can always ignore and delete them anyway.

DG and Kevin are referring to a post that has been deleted.

When's Oxford, Kate? I'll be along, I'm sure.

― Tom, Tuesday, 29 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ditto. Are there any other Oxonians/Oxfordites here apart from Tom and me?

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 29 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oxford.... uuuuhhhh... ::checks tour itinerary:: The Point, Tuesday, 21st August. My BF, Paul, is an Oxonian, as is half the Strange Fruit "collective" so I think we should be out in force for this one. There are lots of Oxford people on this board, I keep running into them in sort of drunken moments.
