My short lived ban from Second Life.

A restaurant doesn't sell me something with the understanding that it costs 75 dollars a month just to hike it up another 50 bucks right after purchase.

You're from Kentucky and you're from Kentucky.

now that is the part I do not agree with

they should have done it to all who said the same as you (as I mentioned in my first post here or was it second)

I think they should have suspended anyone who said FU LLL (or anything along those lines)

how long have they been 75 a month?

just broke out from a 20 year stint and swindled a 5th of jimmy from the corner bum.

however if it were not you, it would be someone...

are you saying it would be ok if it were more than a month after your purchase?

would it have been ok if it were 6 months later? a year?

the thing is no matter when they do it, it will be a month after someone made a purchase

You had to do it, didn't you? We got this far without it, but NOOOOOOOOOO! You had to do it.....*shakes fist.

Or pay the bum outside 5 bucks to do it for you so you don't embarrass yourself by cussing in front of shoppers who you may be friends with.

I think gradual reasonable increases over time would have been more accepted than a 67% jump.

restraint is not one of my strong suits. you need to tighten the duct tape maybe.

he's gonna need that 5 bucks. Chris jsut stole his bottle of jimmy.

i think ill just accept it or shop somewhere else.

but thats just me.

I told you, I'll be more than happy to say the stuff you can't say, for a reasonable fee. I don't care about bans, or suspensions. I can even work you out a sliding fee scale, based on the number of F Bombs and MF Bombs.

The restaurant analogy is apples and oranges. One is a monthly service paid for in advance. The other is an event paid for at the time of consumption.

Let's say I had an account with a catering company who provides a spread for weekly/daily meetings. And while in a conference with other customers their rep is telling me they will be raising my rates by 67 percent. I get pissed, stand up, and say F The Company.


Does that give them the right to, with no warning, not deliver the spread at the next function?

Can you say...lawsuit?

Ok, Ok, here is my RL picture.

not disagreeing

Sadly it is their platform and they can do whatever they please...

all we can do is choose to go along with it, or leave (or sell off and still stick around)

sure we can be vulgar, and swear and curse, and get upset and throw tantrums etc... we can even post in the thread pertaining to the subject and have our say....

however bottom line is, they choose, they make the final decision... and we have no recourse but to agree to it, or leave

not like we can force them to not raise prices or report them to some BBB or something... it is their business....

doesn't count, Chris. nips are covered.

I think you'll make a lovely couple. My best to the both of you. What is the traditional wedding gift down there? Lint?

this is the part where we put out fingers in our ears and start pinching each other and pulling each others hair. because some people making valid points makes us uncomfortable.

Shouldn't it be made of black leather, too?

as long as it is paid for, then yes they must deliver

if it is not paid for then they have no reason to deliver


want to go with you analogy... ok so you pay the catering company... you pay them by the month, and they provide by the month
suddenly they tell you that prices will raise (the raise is not immediate)
so,.,, you now have a choice, pay the higher fee to keep this catering company or move on

if you go to their establishment and swear at them because of the raise hike while their customers are around, do they have the right to kick you out, damn right...

and if being kicked out means you can not pick out something for your spread, then you brought it on yourself

in sarah's case they did not take the sims away from her, did not take any of her land away, they just suspended her from entering their store (for 3 days which she got lifted)

was that a dare?

No, we do it because people who get all pompous and take themselves too seriously make us laugh.

oh gosh no, this is where the thread gets completely derailed with sillyness in hopes the valid points get lost in the muddle

hehe

anywho I am done, getting tired, not so bored anymore, actually got thinking and that hurts... so night all have a good one

The bride normally has a matching pair of overalls. Gotta have room for that baby belly.
