Shortly before the grid collapsed, there was someone shouting anti Jewish comments near the Welcome Area.

I am wondering if there might be some connection, some group of folks with ill will perhaps, out saying bad stuff of in one place, running around somewhere else and crashing sims with self replicating objects.

I have no evidence of a connection other than the timing, perhaps someone else does.

Anti Jewish statements are nothing new at the Welcome Area so probably not but you never can tell. The Welcome Area seems to attract people who like to show off their limited intelligence along with their lack of any sense.

If a person has nothing else to be proud of I guess they might as well be proud of their stupidity.

Every now and then ugly bigotry and racism crop up in SL. Some people who cant spread enough hate in their first lives have to bring their garbage here.

I was hanging with some new friends I met at a sandbox when one of them started using the N word, first to describe a baby avatar another AV was wearing and then later on in the conversation towards several people. I realized it was for effect and nothing else and told the person that where I live, that's a term of endearment. When he didn't get the reaction he hoped for he stopped.

I don't understand these types of comments. They just make me feel uncomfortable and serve no good purpose. Is it a study thing, where they are writing down people's reaction or are they truly that immature?

The most successful software company in the world does a piss-poor job on all these points. Particularly the first three. Why do you expect Linden Labs to do any better?
Yes, it's true, I have a blog now!

The "Welcome" area is a waste of bandwidth.

April please see my previous post. They are truely stupid and have little control over what few brain cells they have. There is no meaning to what they say. They just spout hate because it makes them feel so kool.
