Well it resembles one so far in that it doesn't have anything funny on it.

ally vs c-man on a/the manic street preachers thread on ilm, then b/the follow-up exchange on the anarchism protest thread on ile. Still funny & awesome today. Ally pwnt cman, obviously.

proposal: instead of 'witty' repartee (this board's got neither a martin nor a lewis sad to say) how's about we list fave instances of all-time great ilx BRAWLS (proposal: leave out the douchebags - oops, morbs, kenan - since those brawls never amount to anything more than ilxor:'hey - you a douchebag', oops/morbs/kenan:'douchebag response', repeat ie. not exactly hagler-hearns) and maybe give a shoutout to brawls that didn't live up their billing, ilx's own holyfield-lewis bouts - ethan/geir, momus/nairn, etc. also - PROPOSAL - let's list every instance of ned getting into it with someone for more than five posts.

Ever since cman got really annoying, I used to have this vague hope that he'd try his wit & "debating" technique out on ally, but I never fucking dreamed the result would rule like this:

Ethan/Geir was more like Jermaine Taylor vs Bernard Hopkins though: a fight we all waited for, and when we got it it was spectacularly dull, a past-it veteran who just didn't have it in him any more taking weak slaps from someone who was built up as a star but didn't have the skills needed.

Yeah, remember when people had breakdowns in public and we all pointed at them and laughed rather than just leave them to their own devices? A thread reminiscing about that is EXACTLY what we need.

ILX should compile a book called How to Lose Your Friends: Beyond Abortion, consisting of party-game questions we've established expose really deep shouty moral divides between people. So far we have "is it okay to yell at people from cars" and "is it okay to masturbate in the same room as a baby" and possibly "hey dude do you want to go to this Kill Whitie party."

― nabiscothingy, Friday, 9 December 2005 01:00 (twenty years ago)

making fun of williamsburg and its inhabitants is one of these (though i guess that that's what you meant by the reference to the "kill whitie" party.)

the threads on religious topics usually result in an explosion or two. not surprisingly.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 9 December 2005 01:10 (twenty years ago)

Oh my god that Manics thread. This is my favorite bit

Haha - Ally, tell me (coz you really are the thickest person EVAH) seeing as how you're a bit dumb ("bred for vivisection" - HAHAHAHA), can you tell me which country (above all others) helped to defeat The Nazis in World War 2 (clue: It wasn't America)?

???? What was he getting at here?

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Friday, 9 December 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

the original inspiration for the thread was this one, which has always had a sort of pleasant rejoinderism, though it probably helps that it's up at the start of an oft-revived thread...

OMG kenan you are SUCH an asshole. The extent to which you are unaware of being an asshole is equal parts hilarious and scary. You're slimy, sexist, manipulative, mean-spirited, and NOWHERE NEAR as smart as you seem to think you are. As a matter of fact, you're not very smart at all. You're pretty dull-witted by even ILX standards. Most of us really wish you would just go away, because you contribute nothing, and haven't for years.

I am trying to start feuds with Dadaismus and Michael Stuchbery! I don't think it's working, though. :(

Well I should warn you that if you trash me but say something funny in the middle of the trashing then teh funniness will obliterate teh hatred in my tiny mind

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 9 December 2005 19:08 (twenty years ago)

I've gotten pretty irritated at a couple of posters, but I'd say in my case it results more in extreme frustration than in actually being "pissed off," like you just want to grab them by the ears and shake their heads until they're willing to listen to what you're trying to say.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 9 December 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

Yeah it's kind of nothing like being actually pissed off, I mean you go to the next thread and forget about it 99.9% of the time.

This thread did not go as gabbneb hoped I bet.

Seriously, can anyone with better memory/search-function skills find that oops thread? It was like one of his first threads, maybe 2003. He may have started the thread. It had something to do with homosexuality being genetic, or something.

― nabiscothingy, Saturday, 10 December 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

???? What was he getting at here?

Ally, I don't know the context, so I can't say what his overall point may have been - but an excellent case can be made that the country that did the most to defeat the Nazis was neither the USA nor Great Britain, but the USSR. Not only did the USSR turn back the Nazi advance on the Eastern front with very little help from their allies, but the Nazis committed and lost more armies and war materials against the USSR than elsewhere in Europe or Africa. The constant Nazi losses against the USSR effectively broke their power.

I have no idea what prompted him to bring this up, though.

― Aimless (Aimless), Saturday, 10 December 2005 04:55 (twenty years ago)
