I think throttling other people's self expression, regardless of how offensive, is unacceptable and an absolute atrocity in the full definition of the word. (^_^)y

Yes, but the same rule as RL. Your right to swing your fists around ends at my nose. ;)

Causing offense and actual harm are two different things. This so called "right to not be offended" should be tossed upon the rubbish bin of history along with all other bad ideas.

The trespassers are in the wrong.
That is why we have ban lines and security systems.


As for the rude invitation, mute works well.

Our abilities are quite different in SL, and although things like ethical and honorable conduct are the same, there's a difference in what actually causes us harm. In real life if a group of ninjas leapt out and attacked me - well, I'd be more than surprised.

In SL I can laugh, tp away, sit on a prim, mute, eject, or freeze and dress up with funny hats etc. depending upon where I am. Their actions might be rude and unwanted but they can't hurt me. I think "unacceptable" is a bit strong.

Is it really that important?

Probably about as important as a worldwide ban on masturbation... You know SOMEONE is fighting for it. (=_=)y

Which, ironically, would cause mpre procreation, giving us even more little small minded dictators running around.

Yep, allow kiddy porn & racist hate groups etc, as it's not actual harm is it?

Kiddy porn or animated kids? In the first kids are actually hurt. So they should face the full extent of the law.

Racist hate groups? Are they physically harming and threatening people or just expressing opinions that are unpopular? Are they stealing and committing fraud or just saying things that most of society doesn't like? As long as all they do is talk, argue, and debate they should be just as free as anyone else to state their views.

/me copies and pastes the same thing she always says:

Where children are concerned adults need to stop being selfish and concerned only with their own nasty pleasures. That means that there should be no tolerance of even virtual or graphic depictions of child rape as it blunts the impact of social taboos and puts children at risk.

Better send the cops after Nabokov and Gunter Grass then, just for a start.
