I'm thinking you'll want to remove that chat log.

What in the world is this thread about?
Who's the Impeach Bush guy? I've never heard of him, or his supposed "signs".

Noone's figured out how to hurt this person. When someone figures out how to hurt him, the residency will have a weapon. Until then, he'll continue to terrorize the world with the Lindens' blessing.

Hey! What if we actually somehow got Bush impeached? Then he'd have to take those signs down!
...and replace them with "Vote Jackson 2008".

From: Doli McGettigan As a bit of backround, I am a supporter of Bush and a loyal Republican. Stone me.
Earlier yesterday, I set out on a quest to track down this Impeach Bush guy. I am pleased to say that I have had excellent results so far. Upon looking in the land sales department, there are many many entries called "Impeach Bush" with the description "Do not buy this land!" There is a group called "Divine Enterprises", which has only one member, Lazarus Divine. This group owns everyone of these parcels. Lazarus Divine himself owns over 60,000 sq ft. Lazarus Divine, as it turns out, is also the founder of the "Impeach Bush!" group, and its only officer.
I had gotten some information, but I needed to make sure Lazarus was -the- Impeach Bush, not just some imposter. So, luckily, he was online at the time, and I IMed him, taunting him in order to get some information out of him. The easiest way to taunt him? Use a pro-Bush statement.
I went on to ask him if he was -the- Impeach Bush, and he didn't respond. All the evidence points to Lazarus Divine as the Impeach Bush guy; I can not confirm that he is the only one, but he is definately -one- of them.
Well, that's basically all that I could find out. I'm going to keep investigating this Impeach Bush situation and see if there are any others. There are other members of the "Impeach Bush!" group, but I don't think any of them have put the signs up on their land. I thought it was against the TOS to use names.... |

Do not get yourself banned because of this guy he's not worth it.

I just remembered something from several years ago, which possibly gives me a unique insight into this problem.
Second Life is not in any way dealing with a new problem here. There was a man in my town, a neighbor in fact, who engaged in identical activities.
He did not have any visible schedule or job. His "hobby" appeared to be cruising the town in a loud, beat-up Oldsmobile. The place he lived was filthy and littered with junk.
I noticed him appearing in many places over the years. He'd be standing in some crappy, tiny strip of land messing with one of his junk piles or dozens of crudely-lettered signs denouncing various members of local politics, or entire groups and races. Finally I put the puzzle together when I happened to notice a FOR SALE sign buried in the long weeds and rusted appliances. He was asking considerable amounts of money for tiny plots of land located in relatively nice neighborhoods.
Asking around town a little, I discovered that he was in a constant battle with other property owners and the town government. His tactics ranged from loud noises in the middle of the night to burning garbage when the wind was right. Many plots of his land were purchased becase it was not worth getting on his bad side.
It went on for a few years, and finally the town government cycled out and the new regime had a lower tolerance for his antics (or possibly wouldn't accept his bribes).
You know what they did?
Bulldozed the whole mess and carted it into the landfill.
