if an ilx beef threatens to take over a perfectly innocent thread you can politely direct people here.

feel like you need a hug, Mordy

ilx beef and/or hugs thread

(hug) for any and all who need it

this better be the first post on any (hugs) thread

i feel like ilx should have GET IN THE RING threads where only 2 people can post.

the rest of us get to read it tho.

seriously, what could go wrong

It's sad, but I love this idea.

readable this time!

we r cool now & i didn't have a prob w/ your posts in that thread but i can't remember, there were a lot of them. you weren't one of the 4 tho. was mostly lamenting ppl otming frog's "you're not really offended" thing

i find it hard to hate frogs, maybe because i sort of see myself in him. i was dumb when i started posting here too. but i was like 19

I don't know where to start a beef so I am starting one here

take one (1) ilxor...two (2) chopped tomatoes...

"you smell like bad beef (farts)"

Hey - it takes two to beef.

Mordy I agree with the stuff you've been saying about signaling points, I think that is a real phenomenon and has at least as much to do with why frogbs posting in any thread causes trainwrecks as his actual posting does.

big applause for sensual santa, havent seen that in a while

^^ the trousers help and hurt in equal measure

can i post here if something hasn't turned into an actual beef yet and i just want to redirect my energy to a posi place rather than take the bait?

thanks, mook.

iatee i dont actually think that you are stupid, but i think that your logic/argumentation style is sorta one note and sophomoric. so when shit comes up, i think you sell yourself short and resort to stuff that makes people ignore your points (which might be valid) because any counter to your opinion isn't refuted so much as ignored and derided w/o any sort of rebuttal. so ive def started treating you w/no respect, and thats prob kinda shitty on my part, but w/e you think of me, ilx in general tends to have a sorta short fuse when it comes to peeps that are intrangible and react to questioning w/stonewall crossed-arms harrumphing at the idea of supporting their opinions.

the beef?

i'm going to note that i hate losing Internet face points by getting mad at iatee and by admitting these ideas bear on me directly instead of arguing from hypothericals

I know I'll never get a real answer to this one, but I'd like to know how I pissed off Matt P by *gasp* sligthly disagreeing with him in a politics thread. The horror!

chill out man

i'm asking a genuine question here so i don't make the same make again, chilling maintained

mistake

Matt P has a weird chip on his shoulder, nbd. He gets catty sometimes.

I don't think you did anything wrong, Matt P just doesn't like you plus he's pretty well established as a dick on this board. No, you're never going to get a real answer on this one. Let's move on. xp

damn wmc, i was going out of my way to not call a guy a dong, but okay.

i call a dong a dong

not calling dong anyone in this thread though

A comic Chinese exchange student?

this is dong the money

great arguer, terrible persuader

not a statesman

ideas > word police

I think he thinks that we're policing morbs ideas too hard for modern acceptable word usage when he thinks his ideas actually have a certain value, even pre-eminence. It's kind of a 90's PC wars ambivalence that I sometimes share but I also find it a virtue not to let myself get distracted from a would-be valid point by using language I think likely to derail a discussion or cause needless offense.

what ideas did Morbs express that you thought worth defending?

Well, whatever his thinking was, he's successfully chased me off of political threads for the foreseeable future, so good on him I guess? Lately it seems like ilx is increasingly good at chasing posters off "their" threads, which I think it unfortunate and kind of feeds into the vibe that this place is really insular and impenetrable.

His anti-corporate, pseudo-populist progressivism, his unwillingness to bend to the times (compared to my relativism), his feistiness... I appreciate their value in a discussion.

that + just expressing a preference for one poster's maddening weird thing over another. xp

god just get over yourself

Alfred, not sure who you are asking, but I wasn't defending Morbs or his ideas in the least. Matt made a snarky comment about wanting to trade me for Morbs back, then added the "ideas > word police" thing as a dig at people who were miffed by Morbs' Michelle remark.

that + just expressing a preference for one poster's maddening weird thing over another. xp

where did i do this though?

Was addressing Michael, jon

I'm not trying to defend morbs egregiously bad behavior recently and I don't know everything behind it but the idea that ppl own their threads seems like a pretty bad precedent to me. You ask a question, you get the answers ppl are bothered to give.

somehow not being comfortable with Morbs bullshit makes me a bad poster? i don't get it.
