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.

I Love To Hate I Love Everything

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.

or maybe I Rate I Love Everything?

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. (johnjuste...), February 14th, 2007.

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)?

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

I'm nice to everybody except those that don't deserve it, the fuckers.

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.

i kind of like the zings?
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.

is it just me or is this thread (perhaps not so strangely) lacking participation from most of the traditionally super-hostile ILXors...?

Not at all. I, too, am tired of Dan Perry's homophobic bluster. Dan, we are in this together. We will help you let go of the hate.

Dude, that is so much my plan, too, except I haven't really left and I'm lazy and socially awkward, so I will just settle for disdain.
