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

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.

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.

^you doing it

DONGING IT

okay, i feel much better now knowing i'm dealing with a poster with a nonsensical grasp on what is actually happening.

i mean, your supposed evidence doesn't even make sense.

Hey you guys, all this looks the same under a 10X kids' microscope and an electron microscope -- BORING.

I'm a little confused as to who is addressing whom. Also, feel like i could use a group hug and minute's silence or maybe just go see an awesome Viking funeral.

house/techno ID thread getting a little heated, everyone there should calm down and look at these trees

I've asked the thread's resident c*nt not to call me out by name anymore, so the rest of you don't grow bored with how much he and I loathe each other.

from [Dr Morbius]

Can we please reinstate our policy of not mentioning each other on that thread, you boring skank?

There was no calling out by name in any thread.

Anyway: bitch, skank, c*nt (sic) -- someone is owning their love of gender slurs.

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

I know that people aren't really seeing the roots of my issue with Nicole and some dude here wrt Melissa, perhaps because she posts so rarely that it can easily be missed. But that's what has made this all the more apparent to me. She can't post one two word remark without one of the two of them coming out of the woodwork to say something snide and targeted at her, and it has been going on for years. And I don't get it. Melissa is exceedingly kind and only ever gets bullshit like this in response, and it tests my fucking patience.
I know that perhaps there is this view that she's prone to challops or is some sort of humorless feminist/anti-racist or that she has interests/hobbies that are viewed by certain ilx assholes as inherently easy to make fun of, but it's no reason to continuously be such a fucking jerk to someone who has never done anything to you. I don't want to white knight for her here, because I know she finds it embarrassing and it's not like she can't speak for herself, but I had to finally say something.

Well now I'm going to sound like a crepe but I hadn't heard anything about this and checked a few recent MW posts and couldn't see a single post from the other two posters you mentioned so idgi

feel like balls's dis posts are on such a high level these days that they're going over people's heads and getting slept on - just wanna say I see you workin, balls

feel like melissa can and often does handle herself

Never change, Melissa.
