From: Patasha Marikh I think in this case it would be because of possible alts, maybe being used as sock puppets, jumping into a debate in which one person has gone completely defensive when their current posts are held up in light of past statements made in the forum. Then inexplicably we are supposed to believe suddenly the board is filled with like minded individuals whose only additions to the discussion are "I agree with so-in-so" ... "so-in-so is great the rest of you suck". In-world, sure someone go have alts, enjoy them, use them to be super naughty or super nice.. just if they get dragged into the forums as 'friends', people shouldn't be shocked when they are called out.
Not saying that is exactly what happened, could also be that someone lured some gullible friends in world .. where, by the way that someone might be a supergreat wonderful person... to fight their battle, without these friends having a clue of the individual's history in the boards.
Or something else entirely different. Maybe alien pod people are overrunning SL and have started randomly posting in the forums, picking one avatar to be their "friend" and attacking all those who oppose.
Just maybe,
Patasha Yeah I think you might be right. I have no idea what I stepped into the other day but I seemed to take a direct line of fire. I don't know the depth of issues these people all have had with each other but they need to realise its a public forum. Just because someone has an opposing opinion, or comments on a topic, it doesn't mean they are involved. To imply someone is an alt or a friend, or someone defending another based on someone sharing an opinion isn't necessarily the right view to have. It is of course a possible view someone can take. That doesn't mean its the truth. Oh well forums go on don't they lol. It seems when I decided to join these forums there must have been some drama already occurring. From an outside view it seems a bit bizarre to see a variety of people bash and slash each other and innocent people as well. I don't understand why people just don't take personal issues into a private message. Would seem to solve alot of drama in a forum I'd think. |

Atticus, you've provided your own definitions to those terms and then assumed I am disagreeing with you about them.
Merely disagreeing with someone is not being a 'troll' and I never said that it was.
'Alt' is not a bad thing in itself and I never said that it was.
It would be a bit ironic if an argument began about THAT, now. Lol.

From: Clarissa Lowell Yeah. The forum wasn't always like this, though. I'm not sure what changed it. Theory 1. Posters are practicing: "What would you like your final post in these forums to be?" Theory 2. Linden alts have infiltrated and are stirring up trouble to have a better excuse for shutting us down. Theory 3. Sunspots, Global Warming, El Niño, and radio frequency emissions from cell phone towers have created a "perfect storm" of crazy. (I may have that confused with colony collapse disorder.) But buck-up, Forums posters! We're not closed yet! And this is Resident Answers, so to the OP's question: "When residents attack?" Thursday.

Please be informed we will move your thread to the new blog forum, where it will reside under a brand new category "Resident Attacks". This category was initially meant to report Resident Attacks, but we see a possibility for Request For Resident Attacks (RFRA) as well, this thread will be a test case for it.
Regards, Linden Labs.

From: Pserendipity Daniels I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords from the shopping channel, but I hope that their brains soon migrate from their chests to their heads . . . Pep ( . . . because the spelling and grammar - and reasoning  - here is bad enough as it is without more semi-literates without even the excuse that English is not their first language.  ) They are not English majors Pep. How dare you expect them to construct a coherent sentence!

WE ARE THE BORG AND YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED! All except these sorry specimens: From: Rioko Bamaisin They are not English majors Pep. How dare you expect them to construct a coherent sentence! From: Pserendipity Daniels How dare they expect a coherent response then! Pep (Or maybe they don't? ) Their unwarranted, and misplaced supercilious tone makes them as indigestible to us as they must surely be to others of their species. They will therefore be expelled from the system via the effluent chute along with all other noxious detritus. Best Wishes A.N Other (Vice President for Assimilation Relations) |

Half of the people in this forum are guilty of attacking another for lack of english skills or supposed alt use. The arrogance runs deep amongst the intellectual snobs, but alas,what is one to do. Perhaps some wish to be bowed down to or cowed down.
Either way the shoe fits most and they know who they are. Soooooooooo sorry I don't use BIG WORDS to express myself but poor me lacks a college degree. LOL. We need to spend less time on what others are doing and more time fixing why we are so ready to attack another. Guess fear does play a big part in this,although how meamingless is it?
yawn..........time to troll again.

You know Pep, I'm never sure whether you can't resist flaunting an adequate education and a psychotic attention to detail, Or a Grade 1 qualification in touch typing. For someone who, I'm assuming, could take the high road in debate, you seem to spend a lot of time just scoring cheap points from typo's. Let's think about it.. does lorena really make up words and then use them inappropriately (thus exhibiting what I'm sure you'd like to call a "senseless nihilism"  or did her finger simply slip..? Either way, kudos on the score! |

From: Pussycat Catnap We've all had forum disagreements before, but this is just weird... Just a guess: it's the start of the US College year. From past experience, most of the heat and traffic about what's normal and what's not is all about a certain age group finding out about themselves and the world. Other countries tend to do it more quietly and introspectively: in the US it's a public sport. You're just caught up in the 2009 season for it, is all. |

Well its just like in the animal kingdom when a species tries to preserve it's genes by kicking out or /killing those who are different. Not saying its right or wrong, just the way it is ...

If typo's were the only problem in this particular case, nobody would probably evena mentioned it (Even Pep!). |
