Welcome to Second Citizen?

Am I alone in finding it odd that people who frequent a place that touts itself as only for the thick-skinned has such a thin skin when it comes to so-called "bashing"?

It's also totally disorganised. They have about five different forums that all amount to "off-topic/general" so you have to comb through pages and pages of dreck just to find out what's happening.

Who put such a goddamn premium on having a thick skin anyway? As if it were wrong to actually feel something for a change.

That would be causing problems here - not problems there. So.. why should they change there forums because some people here have sand in their clits?

Ouch! I don't even HAVE one and that hurts to think of.

I like SC and post there a lot
I like SLU, and am pleased to say traffic there increase
I like SLHomepage too.


I like people on both sides of this.
Everyone shut up.
Everyone who posts " I dont like forum X" makes people curious about it.
Publicity is publicity.
You like a place or you don't who cares.
You're all making my head hurt.

*enter the n00b*

You know, I never posted here much, having been a late adopter to both SL and the forums. I have, however, been a veteran of many forum wars in many other places, so I've seen a lot of the vitriol being tossed back and forth.

To be honest, the reason I *initially* chose Second Citizen over the official SL forums was the lack of moderation, but not because I wanted to flail around like a lunatic, text guns-a-blazin', and spew a stream of hateful speech or bad typing, or be anyone's idea of ironic.

I chose Second Citizen because the people there seemed HONEST. Not honest as to imply that other forums are dishonest, per se, but honest in the sense that they tell you how they really feel.

Moderation has its place in a company-sponsored forum, where the company may, utlimately, be liable for any of the death threats and whatnot get spouted. However, if I wanted to read sanitized posts, I'd be content with reading the Official Blog.

Ultimately, what annoyed me enough to actually write this is the presumption that everyone who prefers Second Citizen is somehow inferior on the basis of their brethren. Yes, there are some total fuckwits on SC. Yes, there are people there who every time I see their name in front of a post, I cringe, knowing it's going to be foul. But I can respect them for being who they are, and for being straight-forward with saying what they feel. I get an honest take on what's going on there (when taken with a grain of salt), not the "oh, goodness, I better not say anything that offends the Lindens/ResMods/Forum Owner!" I prefer it that way.

Your Mileage May Vary. *But* the act of coming to a sanitized forum to rail against the sins and depravity of people in another forum, to hide behind the sanitary protection of the LL forums that remain. You don't like Second Citizens? Fine. I dislike more than a few of them myself. You want to TELL us you don't like us? Fine. I'd prefer you do it there, but hey, whatever.

Just don't act like you can't leave whenever you want. Tons of forums in the sea, and none of them require bashing Second Citizen in order to gain admission that I know of.

Though I can see the day...

And don't forget. They have Hermia Linden.

In that detail, you are quite wrong.
