This thread amazes me.

The parody in this thread isn't any better than what Prokofy Neva does to others, time and time again. And it isn't much worse, either. The medium and the approach are different; the spirit is nearly the same.

Funny? No. Satirical? No. Fun and satire have what this little squat-and-push exercise lacks: intelligence, and a decent point. If you're gonna act like a total ass, you can't accidently out-ass the ass you're acting like. You've got to have more control than that. Otherwise, it's just spilling beer on the carpet.

Prokofy and the Prok-ettes may be responsible for the kinds of attitudes on this thread. But these attitudes make it awful difficult to claim the moral or intellectual high ground. I can't really criticize, because I've said some nasty things, myself. But this thread's over the top.

I'm not clear about how the Lindens are interpreting the standards for enforcement on these forums. I wish they'd clarify. Simply throwing the ToS our way isn't gonna do it. The ToS is a document to be interpreted, and as I said, I can't see a pattern in the interpretation.

I read other threads instead....its always free for all to read what they want... TO READ,.,., but no one should be censured. Ok there are things that need to be cutted away...we al know what..

I have seen forums since I was an early teenager (I am 28 now) and there are always this kind of things going on.. so I have learned to remember names, groups.. and when they do threads i dont read them....

Who is the looser/ers? Ahhh not me..

I've been reading the threads and have restrained from commenting over all the fighting that goes on. It seems bad enough that usually there is so much mean-spirited dissension and much of it spoken with great ill will toward individuals, but here posters are doing the same over someone who isn't even here stirring up a ruckus. I had hoped some semblance of peaceful debate or discussion might prevail not the still ongoing hateful bickering. Then again, I'm relatively new to forums so perhaps simply naive.

Still hoping for the best,

Seeing that I truly believe Prok is mentally ill, I find this behavior (i.e. the parodies, and making fun of him/her) rather distasteful. What? Do you guys go to the Special Olympics each year, and make fun of the contestants too? :(

Thought I would chime in here...

After reading the Insanity thread, I decided that Prok is right, and forum behavior can be carried forward to in-world.

So, I deleted all my items from the two land parcels that I am renting from him, and refunded my money. I will never do business with him again.

I'm glad prok is so easily identified - ignore list appended.

I suggest you do the same.

OK Panda.... you bad, bad boy. You need a spanking!


I do have to admit that I had an idea similar to this a few weeks back. Mine was going to be a "Prokofy Riva" character who was the equivalent of what Prok would be like on planet Bizzaro.

I was going to go into heated threads and say extremely nice and flattering things to people using concise writing.

But, alas, this is not me. :D

Mine was going to be Prokofy Rambler... but it's not available anymore.

Please, for the love of Pete, just PUT A CAP ON POST LENGTH! Then all this nonsense wouldn't be happening, Prokofy would find a new soapbox somewhere, and we can all go back to a regularly scheduled programming.

This is not. This is yet another terribly pathetic attempt to alienate and isolate an individual who's real crime was to have alternative opinions.


I have to take issue with this statement Blaze. Prok's alienation has little to do with his opinions and everything to do with the manner in which he presents them. Saying that it's because of his opinions alone ranks right up there with "they hate us because we're free." :p It's a specious claim.
