Lex, I am prepared to transfer, immediately, £1,000 pounds into either your Paypal account or your bank account if you can show me a Livejournal account, or in fact any evidence, of me having been dumped at any point in the past... 13 months?
£1,000. Cash money /Wilmer Valderamma.
That offer stands for "others" as well. £1,000 per person.

This is all my own opinion but the amount of hypocrisy displayed on any of these meta threads always amazed me. Mark has already had a go at people (incl. me if I read it correctly) about this 'bullying hivemind.' FFS people, I'm not a bad person! I genuinely don't think that anyone on ILX is necessarily BAD but I do think that people don't know when to stop or don't have enough consistency between what they accuse others of doing and practice themselves. I can see so many cases of someone calling someone else out for what they have done only recently!
I actually like ILX, there are people on it that I feel dislike ILX but can't help themselves. Like any community there are the winder-uppers, the shit-stirrers and the downright snarky but it's all online. ILX means a lot to people, it's made people friends and at one point we even had a houseband! Come on, the same old zings are getting boring at this point. Just to pick an example that has already been mentioned a couple of times: LJ. In the beginning he was treated in a manner that surprised nearly everyone but has become one of us. The zings need to end as does holding him or anyone (including Mic3key who I had a go at on the BLAM as barman thread I will admit over a perceived negative-toned thread hijacking [ref. to Mark earlier in post]) up to ridicule.
I have certain posters I have issues with, we all do. We all just need to learn to ignore things. You don't need a killfile, you need self control.

Sorry for coming on all Daily Mail what with the "kids today got not respect" thing, but honestly, it ticks me off. I could give examples (on this thread!) of people behaving with little respect, or without civility, or just forgetting that they're not 9 years old and running around on tarmac anymore. What annoys me is that you're clever people with intelligent views and shining personalities, so why you behaving like a dick? And don't say it's the internet that brings the worst out in people; that's as shaky as "I was drunk, and that's my excuse for why I glassed him." No, it's people just being horrible.
I guess some people are more likely than others to be horrible. Well, those who aren't likely to be horrible, don't get involved, just take it like a man and walk on. If a drunk shouts at you in the street, you don't stop and argue, you just keep walking. So if someone's mean to you round here, honestly, ignore them, and they'll go away.
Grrr, I shouldn't post this, it's a shit idea, cos it sounds patronising and preachy. But bollox to it, I love this stupid fucking internet board, and it makes me sad that some people want to kill it.

God, the fact that you actually think this explains so much about you and why you act the way that you do.
I cannot get my head around such a mindview or why you would believe such a thing, but can you honestly not accept that this "dickishness" is making it a hellish experience for other people?

This is the thing, nobody gets clowned on ILx (or at least clowned enough to make it visible for other people) without indicating that they 're up for some ball-breaking. You cry fie upon ILx posters on your blog, Louis Jagger will throw the ball back if you throw one at him, Dog Latin was like a fucking attack hound who'd smelled meat at times, Mickey is Mickey... it's not like ILx is walking up to people at random and smashing them into the gym lockers, it's more like one of those "white collar boxing" clubs. Although more a "white collar boxing" club where the matches end with people saying "But I didn't want to have a fight, I got into this by accident, seriously"
― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link
The houseband was recently demobbed and not be discussed on ILX out of respect or so I gathered which is why it was only referred to as a concept.

Because it's "Let's decide between ourselves what the truth actually is" can be summed up as "None of it actually happened, it is a fiction". So, no thread, plus I'm not watching it.
Back to the subject in hand...
There seems to be a culture of "is he wanting it?" attack dogging. I've never wanted it so I don't partake in it. And don't recall being attacked here ever.
― M Grout (Mark Grout), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:47 (seventeen years ago) link
No. No it's not. It just ISN'T. Where the fuck did you get the idea that this was what ILX was for? This is so wrong-headed I can't even begin to get my head around where to start.
Are you trolling right now? I mean, are you trying to start a fight out of this, is that why you're saying this? Or do you actually BELIEVE this?

"i tend to pay no attention to what any popstar says in interviews though! i mean, when i talked to pusha t he didn't know what a choir was, which is arguably dumber than beyoncé not bothering to go into the complexities of 'irreplaceable's narrative. -- lexpretend (lexusjee...), February 13th, 2007.
"do you really think beyoncé's going to say outright in interviews "the song is a lie to myself"? that is not the sort of thing i've ever heard any pop star admit to, it would be...too revealing. i'm not sure it matters what beyoncé says about it. -- lexpretend (lexusjee...), February 13th, 2007.
we have established exactly why it would be a bad idea for beyoncé (or any pop star doing a similar song) to openly talk about how it's a lie! it doesn't matter what she says in interviews, anyway.

Yeah, but for some of us, even having to read other people doing this is kind of tiresome. You post on a thread, then someone else posts, then someone who has a beef with them sees that they've posted and follows them to be hilariously dickish, and the next thing you know, the nice conversation you were having is gone. It's kind of annoying.

i like a bit of ballbreaking but you probably do go too far Madam Dom. A LOT of people do seem to be sick of it. I just don't know if there are MORE people on ILX who enjoy it. Maybe 50/50?
― resumo impetus (blueski), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link
oh it is all there if people want to look and read the obvious into it.
fwiw, no one complained when i, along with many others inc yourself, said i liked music made by people who were sexist (sundry hip-hop) or homophobic (sundry dancehall). i still really like the paris hilton album, which doesn't mean i approve of whatever racist things she's said (i haven't seen the video).
