From: Dakota Tebaldi I remember hearing once about somebody who tried to sail from Miami to Bimini using a restaurant placemat, which featured a map of the Bahamas on the back.
People are just....weird, sometimes! My friend who attempted to do the caribbean trip was really using a school atlas. When I do anything like that I go prepared. Now I see sunshine breaking through the stormy clouds of this thread. Phew, crisis averted. Jiggy saves the day yet again with her witty good humour before everything goes pear-shaped. I'm as smoothly urbane and unruffleable as that singer from yonks ago - Perry Como.

From: Dakota Tebaldi On the other hand, there's another thought-provoking question. I don't believe I've ever really indicated, in either chat or my profile, what "age" my avatar is supposed to be. This is mostly because I didn't have a specific age in mind, really, at the time I made it.
Anyone: if you were to put my avatar's age at a number, what would it be and why? I would place you at around 10-11. Granted, it's been a while since I've last seen you, so I might be a bit off, but based on the overall size and appearance of your avatar, I think of you as a remarkably intelligent and mature 10-year-old.

From: Marianne McCann Curious question: Does wearing any other sort of avvie scream the same thing to you, or is it exclusive to kid avvies? I know the question wasn't aimed at me... but yeah. As I mentioned before, while I certainly respect RP-ers, I myself am not good at RP and am intimidated by it. I wish I could do it, but I freeze up like a deer in headlights, so if I see an avatar that is obviously RP, I'm likely to avoid contact. Nice to see the thread didn't get killed, as I think RP vs non-RP (whether or not it involves child AV's) is an interesting topic.

People who RP outsde of dedicated RP-areas should never expect others to be a part of it. I recall being at a store once and some people were talking between themselves, with a few cursewords here and there. A guy tp'd in with his SL daughter right behind, and he complained to the people about using crude language in front of his child, wanting them to moderate themselves due to her presence. He was ignored and I would say rightfully so, as he was infact trying to make strangers take part in his family RP in a public area. (Had either kindly asked if they could moderate the language because they found it offensive, I would consider it a different matter, as that is a fair request whether people choose to honor it or not)

From: Scylla Rhiadra Hey! How come there aren't kiddie furry avs? Or is that what tinies are . . . ?  You take one controversial avatar model and mix it with another controversial avatar model, you end up with something that has four times the controversy as either of the original two. That, and I haven't ever seen any furry-child avatars that one can buy anywhere. The closest I have seen are child nekos.

From: Jig Chippewa Isn't that an oxymoron? You apparently do not hang around kids all that much. Besides, 10-11 is about that perfect age before puberty turns a boy's head into mush.

From: Argent Stonecutter The guy who makes those seals goes by the handle of "Seal", usually has a walrus or sea-lion avatar, and his sim is Seal Cove. The general hangout area in Seal Cove is "Club Seal". I'm still conflicted. "So I pulled into a Shell Station; They said I'd blown a seal. I said, 'Fix the damn thing, And leave my private life out of it. Okay pal?'" -Kipp Addotta

From: Dakota Tebaldi Yeah, Jig - SEEE? So THERE! I honestly dont think I have spoken to a ten year old boy since I was 9 (unless it was under duress). I dont know any kids. None of my friends have kids. Well, one friend does but its not his fault. I dont have pets either. Not even a goldfish. I just cant stop thinking of bathrooms when I see ten year old boys. Poor Dakota. You sound so intelligent too. I realize I did know ten year old brothers. Their mum was a friend. Then we fell out. They must be 14 by now.

From: Desmond Shang I'm *all for* separating kid avatars from XXX material and vice versa. But sheesh folks, running around trying to entrap pervs is a *bit* crazy, mmm? Sounds like a great way to find the FBI. Agreed, Desmond. Every so often, reports come in through SLC of people trying to "entrap" kid avvies. Most simply try to TP the kids to a location where they can play "shoot 'em up" or otherwise verbally abuse them, while the craftier will opt to TP the kids into sex-themed places to file trumped-up abuse reports. Invariably, the "entraper" has gotten it into his head that kid avatars = pedophiles, and he or she is simply doing their part to "clean up the grid." It's always struck me as pretty crazy and creepy, possibly as much as the real pervs on SL. :-/

From: Ciera Spyker have a nice day. *blinks* I'm guessing you had a pretty crappy childhood. Edit to add: After reading a sampling of your other posts here, I'm also guessing your medication ran out a bit ago.

"Smelly" - now seriously, Dakota, Men smell. I am NOT lying. Try sleeping with a bloke. I did it a few times and now I sleep alone and any man who has sex with me goes to the guest house or back to his hotel room.

I never understood where people get the idea that it's OK to do things like solicit and engage in sexual ageplay as long as your intention is to at some point turn in the other person in. That's ridiculous.

I have a girlfriend like that, even colder actually. She will say to the poor guy: "I'm done, go home". Like, he's served his purpose and is now dismissed.
