My god, you are the one who told everyone this was your alt. Remember "Martin aka Catherine Cotton and Claire aka None of your business"? Now that you have killed off Catherine Cotton for whatever reason, people are just supposed to pretend after 2.5 years that it isn't you? Please, that is ridiculous.

You can suggest all you want. However, considering all the riduclous accusations you have made about Nolan and I, it is a bit rich coming from you SINCE THIS IS YOUR ALT BY YOUR OWN ADMISSION. I don't have any fixation on you. Look at most of my posts, I generally address people by name when responding to them. Now that you have magically changed names and genders, fine, I will play whatever weird game you want and call you Martin.



Again is there a point to this or are you just stirring up shit for the sake of drama?
I don't see any point here really unless you believe this bothers me in some way?

It doesn't.

So what motivates a person to publish information over and over again is the original poster suppose to be intimidated by these tactics in some way?


Interesting and telling.

How could you possibly be intimidated? Ugh, forget it, this is a waste of time. You have been posting in these forums for over 2 years as one person, and all the sudden switch names on a dime. I continued to call you Catherine because that is what I have always called you. I just won't refer to you at all - kindly do the same and we will be just fine.

LOL you won't well that's a falsehood that has been told too many times to trust. You will because; you forage off the drama. You indulge in it like others indulge in a good bit of caviar. Yes I am more than mindful of what motivates ppl like you. Your somewhat complex in your specious views.

Sorry if my personal observation of ones actions in the sl forums seems like an attack. Shall I edit out the word "little"?

Then we'd have to do the same for any description of your wit, ability to comprehend civilized discourse, and the amount of time you spend spazzing out over things that actually matter, and that would just take waaaay too much time out of everyone's day.

LET'S PLAY OBSERVATION! OK, now you do me!

WRONG WRONG WRONG

The correct answer was "Snarky know-it-all royal bitch that can't spell so she relies on image tags. Essentially a drain on SL as a whole."

I really think you need to stop listening to yourself and PAY ATTENTION TO OTHER PEOPLE AROUND HERE

No, because that would still be attacking the person and not the idea.

As opposed to say calling someone by the wrong name over and over again? No that is not an attack of any sort is it? How about openly telling a person on another forum or news site that it was intentional to get that person banned from the SL forums. No not an attack at all? Perhaps it's acceptable somewhere to tell yet another poster that they deserved to get their ass handed to them on a platter after invoking a genuinely original thought which goes against the collective. The same collective that openly proclaimed that the LL forums are their "corner bar"

No those things are not attacks to some but calling someone a "Odd little man" is. What a strange and wonderful world we live in.

So you think I was wrong, alright. Will it change my posting? Nope.
So long as ppl are not allowed to have genuinely original thoughts on the LL forums I will be around to how did they put it? “hand them their asses on a platter”. Times they are changing, Thank God.

Whose ass did you had to them on a platter? Honest question. Provide links, if possible.

This isn't a matter of right and wrong. It's a matter of procedure. If I call someone a name, the name might fit them perfectly, but it has nothing to do with the subject being disccussed. In fact, it serves to take away from the subject.

Calling someone a name because they called you something does not produce any good results. It might make you feel better, but if the first person shouldn't do it, then the second person shouldn't do it either.

I have many genuine original thoughts and I have expressed them here without resorting to using adjectives to describe the person and not the idea. I have also managed to make over 850 posts without once resorting to using profanity.

I was thinking you wished to engage in a real discussion in the forums. I was merely offering some suggestion. You do not have to take them, but as this is a forum for discussions, I am allowed to offer them.

If your main goal is merely to incite and engage in confrontational posting, then I apologize for my interuption and offer you a hardy good luck and good health.

The best thing to do with people like that is to walk away.
~Ulrika~


Walking away will only allow them time to recruit followers and establish a network of independent cells throughout the forums. The only way to be sure you'll never be in a situation you're considering walking away from is to launch preemptive strikes. :)

All this alt stuff confuses me.

I remember when Catherine admited to being Martin (or was it Martin admitting to being Cat?) :confused:

As Catherine you had a very long and controversial posting history, you were quite outspoken at times. Are we all just supposed to forget that now? I won't. I doubt most people here will as well. I have no problem addressing you as Martin, but fail to understand why you seem so offended when people call you Catherine.


Now if I were someone who wanted to start fresh, with a new forum personality, I would probably use an avatar that was not a self admitted alt. But that's just me.

BTW, why did Catherine leave?

I don't see this as an issue realy Schwan. After all yes I was completly honest about the facts re: Catherine. This seems to be the topic which i find pretty darn hysterical tbh. You go by Schwanson right. How would you feel if ppl started calling you oh I don't Hank for example. That would confuse ppl wouldn't it. I don't think ppl realy care what name I have tbh. It doesn't bother me not like you think it might. You can call me Aimee if it turns you on.

ps: what makes you think my other alts havent been posting all along?

Most people who admit to their alts seem to be fine with being called either. I am surprised you are upset by this. It's a minor issue.

SL Forums in a "nutshell" pun intended :D


Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So, mesmerizing and so hypnotizing,
I am captivated, I am

{Chorus}
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated,and so motivated
I am certain now that I am

{Chorus}

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'll be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

{Chorus}
My hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Oh, I thought the way you kept going over it and brought it up several times. It's hard to tell in the forums but it appeared you were upset. I think others thought so too. Well Catherine, I'm glad you are handling all of this so well.

Sorry Schwan I missed the last question...Oh if I were Catherine what would I say about leaving?.....

I probably realized that the forums were so unregulated there was no hope of ever having an adult conversation of any kind. No real discussion that didn't turn into someone’s unregulated hate filled fist fight.

I would also say that due to this unregulated bullshit and other recent IW and Co. bullshit I decided it was best just to cancel my account without publishing that fact first. I would also say that I see the same group of ppl going after new ppl and LL just sits idly by and lets their customers get dumped on by those who feel they have a "right" to regulate these forums in "their" Nazi style fashion. Pink Floyd lyrics comes to mind when I think back to the forums "there’s another one, put em up against the wall..." ya dig.

I would also say I pay to be entertained and the forums were a cesspool of anything but fun. Time can be limiting to some, I choose to no be involved in the nasty bullshit that goes on in the forums. It's just best to sit back and poke fun at those who obsess over every word spoken. It’s probably best also for ppl who feel like I do to support those who do have the fucking guts to voice their own opinions. Bravo Babies Bravo.

Yeah if I was Catherine that's what I would say.
