Arguments and Rows in SL

I'd log off before I wasted my time arguing with some idiot. Friends,I don't argue with. We discuss...

Only if you stuck your oar in.

Does flinging a china plate at Ex BF's head and smashing against the castle wall count? If so, then yes, I guess I've had SL argument.

O.o can you teach me how to sling plates in the game???

Funny thing was I said "Oh, I wish I had a a plate because I would just hurl it at you right now!" But I didn't have one, so he made one real quick and handed it to me and said "Here, honey". Couldn't stay too mad for too long after that.

No, I'm sure people never have arguments in SL. When two people get together do they ever get upset with each other?

*rolls his eyes at one of the most asinine threads ever created.

I stood there in shock wondering why a linden OI parrot would ask to see my boobs...
Didn't realize it was the white shirt noobie that had been standing behind me

Did you show them anyway?

I most certainly have, and am aiming at having another one in about an hour.

Of course, what I consider an argument is getting my 'opponent' to state in no uncertain terms what their beef against me is.

I had a 'mod' for a fairly old hangout (who already got warned to be a little less thin-skinned) who still has yet to remove the treebranch from his backside eject me over a situational joke involving a "newbie" (born over 15 MONTHS ago).

I plan to tell him that until he decides to be honest with me and tell me what the hell his problem with me is, I'll consider him having as much authority over me as a member of the PNs.

I'm not sayin, but they DID retire that parrot and the OI he was on just DAYS after that so I've always felt a little responsible

I had the same thought and truly did laugh out loud at that.

SO... you're the one that got me fired

The only time I ever had anything close to "words" was with an ex (NO not the current ex lol). We were having a long winded personal conversation, and he kept not answering what I was asking him. I kept trying to bring the conversation back to the topic and he kept rambling on and on about everything else under the sun, totally unrelated to what we had been talking about and needed to finish.

I finally just shouted at him to get a grip and go back and read the freaking chat box. Mind you, this behavior is totally out of character for me, so I really was just burning at that point. He was so muddled about everything, took him like 5 minutes to get a grip and figure out which part he was supposed to answer!

Turns out, the problem was his RL partner kept coming into the room, and instead of just telling me she was there (which would have been so much easier and I would have understood completely; it would not have been the first time) he just kept babbling about nonsense instead.

By that point, I just couldn't even look at him; called it an evening so I could cool off. He learned a lesson tho. Always let me know if she happened to walk in and he couldn't talk

This post made me laugh - excellent!

I thought I had a row once, but it turned out to be a column instead.

I actually don't think I've had one single argument in SL with anyone. I've had more controversy here in the forums, and here there hasn't been very much (at least not by my standards). I've had a few conversations where I disagreed with someone over something, but they were very non-confrontational. Other than that, it's been kicking back, partying and just general goofiness. I argue all day in RL. Why would I ever consider doing it in SL?

Ban, Mute, and Eject tend to end arguments rather quickly.

I spoke too soon in my above post about only one row in my 16 months in SL - I've just had another.

I belong to a conservation group in SL (won't mention the name) that tries to deter ad farms. One rather angry guy was ranting in group chat that prims should not be allowed on any parcels less than 512m. I disagreed and he really laid into me, accusing me of being one of SL's most notorious ad cutters. He also said I sold small plots at outrageously high prices. Both these things are TOTALLY UNFOUNDED LIES and I told him so.

Honestly! Some people!

what's a "row"?

i argued with Trout once.... he said he was not worthy, and i said he was. "no i'm not" "yes you are" "no i'm not" "yes you are".... you get it.... i think i won the arguement, but i can't be totally certain.

Throwing plates - look for Fedor McNally. They work great!!

I've had several arguments in SL. Bet you'd never guess that from reading my curmudgeonly forum posts!

My last one occurred when my alt was on one of his hikes trying to get from one shore of a continent to the other. I/ he stumbled onto someone's land who didn't want anyone there (even when NO ONE WAS AROUND TO DISTURB) and got immediately orbited by a security bot.

While at 8000 meters height I had plenty of time to look up the guy's profile and discovered I had stumbled onto a religious shrine / temple, or perhaps the residence of its leader. I was pretty steamed, so I couldn't stop myself from sending him an IM reminding him that [insert Prophet's name here] would not have orbited a weary foot traveler. I think I accused him of being a fraud.

It was a mistake. You can't reason when someone's faith is involved. And you can't reason with me if you go all officious and authoritative on me, booting me around when I'm not bothering you. There is no way it could have ended well, so I came to my senses and let him have the last verbal jab.

In real life I question authority figures. It's my civic duty. In Second Life - I tend to verbally eviscerate them. En garde!

Lots of times. Don't have patience with idiots or stupidity. Something very common in sl.

I had a wonderful, spontaneous fight with someone I didn't know, and made a lovely friend out of it. I was at some shop abutting a club, and the club owner was encouraging a competition with fairly strong language. Being in one of those lunar-mediated hormonal conditions, upon hearing an antifeminist word I spun on my virtual heels and flamed off with a quick riposte in similar vein, straight at the speaker. She responded in IM: "did you just call me a ****?" I responded: "might have, depends on whether I found you worth bothering with", or the like. So she orbited me - interesting. We batted it back and forth in IMs, and simultaneously realized that we were enjoying the fight altogether too much - at which the tone suddenly went very friendly, and changed abruptly to a discussion of our kids in rl, how long in sl, and so on. I knew I'd found someone with a quick, sharp, friendly wit when she said "Y'know... even though you were a ****, I knew I liked you." Just a different angle

Oh no. no. no. Just....NO. /me sit down and shake her head

bumped to make a point
