People that refer to themselves in the third person creep me out! :D


Coyote apologises for ever thinking of herself in the third person, but you must admit that Coyote's writing style occasionally might be more interesting if she were to do so more frequently.

Now everyone... image this same thread, but with the gloves OFF!!

-THAT- is why SecondCitizen is a hoot. You can slice this drahma with a knife and serve it with pie. Mmmmmmm... delicious!

Prok! Don't leave cuz of the avatar... you're one of the most flavorful ingredients.

-Ghoti


QFT & QFE

You, of all people should know that I am not Prokofy. I really thought you smarter than the average bear Panda! Or is it Panda bear? :D

Hm. I was under the impression that SC was a place where people could go to express themselves freely, as opposed to the SL forums, where more stringent rules are in place. P'raps I'm wrong, but that was my impression.

An avatar is a form of expression. Not having an avatar is a form of expression.

Forcing someone to have an avatar, seems to me, would go against the notion that SC is a freer place.

Anyhow, unless the closing of these forums leads to an influx of people there that significantly changes the tone of the place, I won't be going. There's too much nastiness in real life. I don't need to be seeking out more of it for fun.

The worst part is that they are so fixated on Prokofy, that they all automatically assume that anyone who would think that this avatar business is bullshit and would have the *audacity* to talk about it in public is Prokofy.

I wish Coconut would arrive to try and dispel this stupidity.

Your ability to post without a computer is what makes you special.

Because you have shown an abilty, not unlike Taco, to sometimes see what others don't.

To all:

This is not about Prok. I would have posted everything I've posted regardless of who was the one on the receiving end.

Do you all realize you're just giving him what he wants? This will be ammo for him for months. Good grief.

Although I'm there (at Second Citizen) now, I'm inclined to agree, Lorelei. I've deliberately been dragging my feet on the avatar thing to harass Mulch (although right now, I really can't add my avatar since I don't have anything but the library computers for a few weeks -- long story), and until now, I took it as all in good fun, but I dislike the extent they're taking it to with Prokofy.

I'm practically the last person in the world to want to be forced into the position of defending Prokofy, as I'm not only a slave lifestyler (and Prok hates us), but my Mistress is someone Prok has butted heads with before and also hates. I think Prokofy is an excessively verbose blowhard who is given to saying far too much on subjects he/she understands far too poorly, and, given his/her history with Mistress, I have a very good reason to dislike Prok personally.

However, you said it perfectly, Lorelei. This whole thing, the way it's being handled, smacks now of "mandatory fun." It reminds me of the ridiculous "flair" thing in the movie Office Space.

Watch out! You may get called a Prok alt! :p

I really wish I had put things more like you have here, unfortunately I am just not very good at putting my thoughs into text most times.

I have many reasons to dislike Prokofy, and I do. That doesn't mean I am not going to call out that site for what it is. Mulch and the site owner have whipped up a bunch of people into some almost cult like phenomenon. Sad part is several of them are in world friends of mine, and I wish I could talk to them about it without being subjected to that "FUCK YOU FREEDOM RAH RAH FREEDOM* mentality that has emerged over there. So I will use this alt to call them out on the hypocrisy of claiming to be the most free SL forum resource while allowing mob rule to force certain people into doing things that are against their will. It's bullshit and I am fucking disappointed in my friends. Not that they would apparently give a flying fuck, because they're all high on whatever the hell it is thats wafting around over there.
