actually dog latin left because he was being "picked" on is a good example but to be fair, he kind of deserved it?

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I really don't understand the balkanization complaint. People can come out of their clan threads and post elsewhere. This seems to be what happens. Clan thread just = ilx within ilx.

seriously. i probably post more on the dc thread than i do on the chicago thread these days.

Hahaha John, "I'm not asking anyone to prove a negative, I just want someone to do a search that would prove a negative"!

LOGIC: 1

I dunno man, there are def people out there who are cool/interesting in various ways, but who are not at all into harsh-style interweb dialog.

Most of the people who complain about bullying or meanness aren't exactly nice either.

― jw (ex machina), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think you can say that's true looking at who's posted on this thread.

i am nice

xpost to Dan: Nope. I'm asking for an example, not a logical proof. As in "Object A (people that have stopped posting because of bullying) exists." This is the statement people are making. I'm asking to see object A. Dog Latin is actually one that I hadn't thought of.

― John Justen, surrounded by frail, wispy people. (John Justen), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, there's bullying and then there's posting in a state of denial and/or passive-aggressiveness. XP

if doglatin never posts on ILX ever again i will be amazed and impressed.

Being nice is like recycling, you can't make other people recycle. So, I would suggest being nice but not mentioning it, sorry steve, xpost sorta thing. I haven't read the whole thread.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

but you can make other people recycle!

Yeh, and there's over 20,000 readers every day. You'd expect more of them would want to say something

we should just start a board called I Love I Love Everything where we can have plenty of these meta threads that discuss the future, zingers, LJ, etc. because we have one of these meta threads every week or so

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

good idea

You know, the weirdest thing about this thread is the implication in the first line of the first post that it's alright for us all to go back to being cunts to one another once nu-ILX is up.

no, that's for moderator requests, and is not what i'm thinking of, nice try though.

I think it would make more sense to call it I Hate I Love Everything, though, since that seems to be the jist of most of these things.

When I met Tim H. a couple months ago, he mentioned that in his mind the balkanization of ILX (it happens on ILM, too, cf. the Rolling threads) was actually MORE like what it was like in the beginning: just a bunch of people who know each other gabbing to one another and being pally. These days, there just happen to be several of those conversations going on at once.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

or maybe I Rate I Love Everything?

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Hold on, John. In order to demonstrate that object A exists, don't you have to prove that object A is predicated of y(stopped posting because of bullying)?

― After two days in hospital I took a turn for the nurse. (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rain, Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Although, last time I met Tim H, we talked about how pish it all was.

Some people must have
Some people have not
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain
Some people will work
Some simply will not
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain
Like this: it's society's fault I don't have a job
It's society's fault I am a slob
I have potential no one can see
Give me welfare. let me be me!
Hey, bud, you're livin' in the land of the free
No one's gonna hand you opportunity!
Some people must have
Some never will
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain
I don't have a house. I don't have a car
I spend all my money getting' drunk in a bar
I wanna be rich. I don't have a brain
Just give me a handout while I complain
Or this: I wanna stay in bed and watch tv
Go out weekends in a limousine
And dance all night takin' lots of drugs
And wake up when I wanna
Hey, bud, you're livin' in the land of the free
No one's gonna hand you opportunity!

Some people will learn
Some never do
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain
Yeah, they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain

I'm not asking for a philosophical proof of any sort. The point I'm making is that people are claiming that bullying chases bullied people away, but every poster I can think of that has been bullied has stayed (with the perhaps temporary example of dog latin), and in fact has often posted more afterwards. I'm not asking about the intangible people who don't post because of the environment of bullying, that's an entirely different issue. This might be the misapprehension that's causing all the confusion. Sorry about that.

but then again they are rarely directed toward me.

So you're dropping the "because". xpost

― After two days in hospital I took a turn for the nurse. (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rain, Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

dog latin still posts, and in fact linked to his own 3 yr old 'im never posting again!' thread when he claimed he would never post again this year

― and what (ooo), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

he hasn't posted after that though, has he?

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 18:52 (seventeen years ago) link

xxpost: yeah, fair enough, that was sloppy.

I don't know if anyone's saying that it chases the bullied people away, but there are claims that it puts off other people, by creating a hostile or semi-hostile envir---oh god, even I'm bored of this now.
