I'd consider it a back-handed compliment.

if it is, they should make an exception =X


did you die? that's a requirement of the whole inquisitional martyr thing. (and even it'd be your avatar... muahahaha digital saints!

Well they said to them I was dead and no longer family. But to your question of am i dead well can you prove i am here? Maybe i am not here and you just think that i am because you want to believe i am.

From: Merriam Webster
ef·fi·gy
Pronunciation: \ˈe-fə-jē\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural ef·fi·gies
Etymology: Middle French effigie, from Latin effigies, from effingere to form, from ex- + fingere to shape — more at dough
Date: 1539
: an image or representation especially of a person ; especially : a crude figure representing a hated person
— in effigy : publicly in the form of an effigy <the football coach was burned in effigy>


Since an avatar is an "image or representation of a person", I see little difference between burning someone in effigy and burning the person themselves.

I say, forget the strawman. Burn Teh Jumpman! ;)

Considering that Jumpy is probably 19, 98 pounds soaking wet and lives in his mom's basement, it would be more burning an effigy of a fantasy.

You beat me to it! I was just thinking, "Baby you could light my fire!"

Nah...I change shape too often to establish an effigy.

“He Who Must Be Burned to a Crispy-Crisp”:

by Turdy the Turdball Legume



Stand fast! Stout heart
For we stand apart,
Upon the slippery shoals of shame.
We ponder there,
As we prepare,
To expunge an ignoble name.
For his life of vice,
He will pay the price,
For we know who to blame.
With tar and feather,
We shall punish together,
That oozing pustule, Jumpman Lane.

It would be my guess that Linden Lab, being an American company, would support our most basic and very first freedom, freedom of speech. Given that, I would assume, that as long as you are not being slanderous or libel, you can say or do whatever you want, up to, and including burning someone in effigy.

LL themselves would be the last word on it, but that's my guess.

As long as the burning was not being done for Dolcett play cause if it was then LL would be very unhappy

You really should give them a little reading since you agreed to them when signing up.

The only answer to your question = No.

defamation (in the legal sense) would require that they be printing something that you didn't make quite apparent. opining on your public behavior, and chastising it doesn't qualify.

ETA: but come on, you're an attention whore anyways, so you know you'll just use the publicity to that end.
