Re: Seriously - Is there such a thing as Andyland 'Trad' ?
and that's the way we like it. I love the troll pose - very early 1990s internet (I bet you cruised those usenet boards quite a bit). And, I love your eagerness. So interested in trolling a single person who was already a member of the forum. Victory!
As an aside, you've completely misunderstood my "defense" of trad - I "defended" trad the same way I've defended "Talk Ivy" on other forums.

Re: Seriously - Is there such a thing as Andyland 'Trad' ?
Internet trolling always reminds me of a cyber-version of the classic pigeon drop scam, but without having to have a real accomplice.
But in this thread, Cards can declare Victory! and rightly so, as control of a process can count as a victory. Unless someone thinks that's against the rules and is willing to state what those rules are.

Re: Seriously - Is there such a thing as Andyland 'Trad' ?
... Not sure we've reached 'game over' yet...
I have asked if 'Trad' exists and so far the thread says Yes, but that it has no core definition and therefore no real existance as a thing in its own right (have I got that right?).
So 'Trad' seems more debunked than ever as a construct.
A made-up name for a made-up thing that has no real existance, yet has an internet sub-forum & spin-off blogs and thus iExists.
So 'Trad' exists online, but does it exist as a 'thing' (and that was my original question after all)?
How can a thing exist without a solid definition, but with a definition which is always changing & always at odds with its previous definition(s)?
How can Trad have any merit and be this way?
'Victory' still may be something to yearn for here...

"How can a thing without a nature be a thing?"
(/\ No bullshit, this actually comes from a Don...)
So -
What is the 'nature' of 'Trad'? And if it has no 'nature'' then it has no 'essence' and so it is not a 'thing'.
... He said a lot more too, but I drifted off a bit...

We are nothing,
We are 'Trads'
And we'll defend that,
To the last.
We have a mission,
(To be defined)
But while we're waiting,
is the Summer the Tradliest of times?

Re: Seriously - Is there such a thing as Andyland 'Trad' ?
Just Jim's joke isn't he? Just like his troll defender & all the "Ask Andy About Loathing" "Trads" come to that. Chenners is the biggest joke of all. Drops his "Dandy" empire building just because a well known troll convinces him to blog on something called "Ivy". What was he thinking?
A Joke.
Hahahaha.

I would describe it as 'Aspergers Meets Cloth'
