Why do we keep having discussions like this over and over again..
If you hate the Devi Ever bussiness/person, just ignore threads like these, don't watch her vlogs.. You people know that there is no such thing as bad publicity right, especially in the music business
Me personally I don't have a grudge against her, pedals sound nice, but never played one.. She seems to explode at times, but so are some forumites over here, those forumites don't get flame-threads all the time..

There are f-words in posts and subjects, nudity, graphic sexual language, drug discussion...
Pretty much the only things not allowed are racist posts, graphic porn, n-words, insults based on sexuality, and any post that one of the mods decides violates ILF's main rule: "Don't be an asshole." (Though most of those are left in, if only so other people notice the asshole.)
If you think ILF--which is almost unmodded--is overmodded...
Fair enough. I have nothing but respect for you and will from this point on think of it as an extension of your word. I'm just paranoid about that stuff, and I'll readily admit I posted that in a bit of a hurry and it came across as more melodramatic than I intended. I still feel that "hammer" is an implied threat in about the same way as the huge police headquarters that can be seen from about anywhere in my town (or simply a police uniform). I dislike the placement and architecture of that building. Seeing it makes me uncomfortable. On similar grounds it's not my favorite choice of username. I spend my days studying power structures etc and my thinking is probably very biased from that.
Most important point: As an extension of your word I can (will) respect it.
I get really tired of any and all Devi related topics. I like her pedals but my GOD! Stop all the fucking drama already. I don't give two shits about her opinions on anything other than pedals! I don't care about her lifestyle, or which rock star is pissed at her because he's a homophob dickbag! I just don't fucking care! Sure it makes for entertainment and laughter sometimes, but grow the fuck up! Learn some business sense and shut your goddamn mouth. Make pedals, make money, live life.

yes...and i can ignore them or respond to them as i see fit. people here have repeatedly insulted me based on my age; what makes Devi, or "trans people" in general, so damned special that THEY get specially coddled in this regard? fuck that. that's what's made Devi into a monster: she hides behind her PC status to get away with this shit. at this point, she's created whatever reaction she gets, and to protect her from that is unjust and malfeasant.

Devi has previously illustrated my name in a non-caps form. As a capsexual i took offense to this and we had beef. Most know i of all people have nothing but support for alternate sexual identities however my post was somewhat insensitive and i apologize to any who may have been grossly offensive....although we all know gearmond is still a dick. Also on my use of the word faggot, its not a purely sexual pejorative and until it is defined as such i will not stop as it should be, but from now on will be, implicit that i never use this term in a way to sexually disparage any of my friends of the homosectional persuasion.
EDIT: Id also like to point out that it took me like 20 mins to figure out i was the one everyone was talking about.

You're right. You should storm off to another forum and leave this one behind.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, God said, "Let there be Lips!" And there were, and they were good, and the lips said...

Bullshit. It's a matter of taking the one specific thing that you know someone is sensitive to, right down to their core, and using it to tweak them. That's called being a fucking incendiary jerkoff. I'm not trans, but I can at least try to imagine how damaging that could be if you've been struggling your whole life with your gender identity, to have it then thrown back in your face.
So the proper analogy is to take whatever thing you are personally most sensitive about, having that well-known, and then someone deliberately digging at it just to fuck with you.
It's not about being PC, it's about NOT specifically sticking a poker in a known sensitive spot
The difference between not being able to control your sexual identity and not being able to control your age,...is that at least you can control whether or not you are going to act your age.
