CROWD:
A witch! A witch! A witch! A witch! We've found a witch! A witch! A witch! A witch! A witch! We've got a witch! A witch! A witch! Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! We've found a witch! We've found a witch! A witch! A witch! A witch!
VILLAGER #1:
We have found a witch. May we burn her?

CROWD:
Burn her! Burn! Burn her! Burn her!
BEDEVERE:
How do you know she is a witch?
VILLAGER #2:
She looks like one.
CROWD:
Right! Yeah! Yeah!
BEDEVERE:
Bring her forward.
WITCH:
I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.
BEDEVERE:
Uh, but you are dressed as one.

WITCH:
They dressed me up like this.
CROWD:
Augh, we didn't! We didn't...
WITCH:
And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
BEDEVERE:
Well?
VILLAGER #1:
Well, we did do the nose.
BEDEVERE:
The nose?
VILLAGER #1:
And the hat, but she is a witch!
VILLAGER #2:
Yeah!
CROWD:
We burn her! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!

Wow Catherine, I thought you weren't gonna get baited. You got baited into doing research. You're crazy! You could spend that time making cat's and dresses and tipping over trash cans.

A few days of research? Crazy!

Er, what?

"Mr. Smith, you have been charged with murder. How do you plead?"

"Not Guilty, your honor."

"Very well. You will have 3 days in which to collect evidence that you in fact DID kill your wife. From there, you will select a jury that will convict you, and then you will attempt to convince them that you did kill your wife on the night of september 9th."

"But I'm not guilty!"

"Contempt of court!"


Why should I collect evidence to support your own accusations?

If you want to prove me wrong, do it yourself.

Not bad, not bad... still have the occasional pest, though. No matter how many times I get rid of them, they keep on coming back.

Here is your homework LF:

Unprovoked neg ratings - "cry me a river"

That looks like a "witch hunt" to me.

A part of me really thinks that Catherine and Lordfly have two different definitions of "Witch Hunt". At least, that's what keeps hitting me as I read this thread and others that you have spilled this topic into. Just an outside observation. :)

I am not asking for anyone's head on a platter. I'm not organizing a mob to have someone shuffled loose their mortal coil. I'm sorry that you seem to think I am.

alrighty then so what was the point of you and your pals calling this person out for? To me its obvious that you made him your target. Yeah I think that sucks.

Violation of community standards in the terms of service, under harrasment.

Conversly, cat, what was the point of you "calling out" the alternate accounts of lindens, blatently ignoring their right to privacy and the enjoyment of the game?

sounds like harrassment to me. You'll get suspended if I do.

your favorite witch hunter/vampire staker/elf orcer,

now what the hell are you jabbering on about?

Very funny LF, you said it was wrong of me to call the lindens alt accounts into question. Someone neg rates you and suddenly I am the one who is harrassing you??? I called into question you and your friends naming the person openly in the forums and I am the harrassing? That makes no sence what so ever.

Again this is your MO switch gears, change the subject, attack the ppl who call your motives into question. TRY AGAIN WITCH HUNTER.

*EDIT;
or have your "buddies" ;) do your dirty work

"Very funny LF, you said it was wrong of me to call the lindens alt accounts into question. Someone neg rates you and suddenly I am the one who is harrassing you???"

Considering I have a strong suspicion that it's your alternate account, yes.


" I called into question you and your friends naming the person openly in the forums and I am the harrassing? That makes no sence what so ever. "

I didn't name anyone. Once again, your lack of attentiveness drags you further into fruitless ranting. Post a quote. Go ahead, do it. Or, continue shouting at me. Whatever.


"Again this is your MO switch gears, change the subject, attack the ppl who call your motives into question. TRY AGAIN WITCH HUNTER."

Pot to kettle, pot to kettle, come in Kettle.

this is kettle.

You are black, over.

Roger that, pot, over and out.

And what the hell is a MO?

"or have your "buddies" ;) do your dirty work"

wink wink lol roflmao, etc. etc.

So now I'm leading a conspiratorial witch hunt against you?

Sigh.

*bangs head against wall*

God Dammit Catherine, do you only read every other word in a post or what? Once again, for the nth time, please post a quote, made BY ME, that would point the reading public to my supposed lead witch hunt or attempt to "organize everyone to neg rate the guy".

You are stretching the bounds of my patience with your insane attempts at character assassination.

okay, seriously though, this happens every couple of months. Some issue in SL gets dragged into the forums, heated debates ensue, heads are rolled, accounts are cancelled, and harassment is commonplace.

I hate it when people march in here and say "OH! LOOK WHAT SO AND SO DID! LETS KILL HIM!" And then 50 people pile on, saying "YEAH YEAH!" And then a couple people say "Hey, now wait a minute..." And then the instigators turn around and say "WELL OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" And then a forum war erupts.

This has happened way too many times. Could we maybe just all calm the hell down a little bit?

I think that was the plot of one of Shakespeare's plays. Hmm... Elizabethan trolls...

Anybody who would neg rate someone without giving a reason is a coward.

MO

modus operandi n. (pl. modi operandi) 1 the particular way in which a person performs a task or action. 2 the way a thing operates

Most common usage is seen in seedy crime thrillers..

"Hmm he follows the same MO, suffocating his victims with a vegemite sandwich while buggering them to death with a fishfork"

Siggy.
