From: Yosef Okelly My list gets longer all the time.
Trout used to say he only had one person on mute. I tend to use that stick often.
When I become an evil overlord: I will not keep the unstopable superweapon in reserve looking for the right moment to strike. I will use it as soon as possible and I will use it often. My list grows daily. *sigh*

From: Candida Flare If I'm in a committed relationship in RL and I start a relationship with another person in SL, but don't tell him, am I cheating on him? I really can't decide - maybe I should ask him what he thinks?! Basic rule of life: If you have to ask, the answer is the one you don't want to hear. |

From: HoneyBear Lilliehook I am perfectly aware of what Candida is. However, that is the name that avatar chose. You do not have the right to criticize them for it any more than I do. Laugh if you wish, but this was out of line. It's in the TOS that an avatars name should not be offensive. I find that name offensive, personally. So offensive could be a subjective word as to the terms of service, unless it's Penille Herpes or something more obvious to the majority. |

From: Avawyn Muircastle With a name like "candida" you expect people to take you seriously on topics regarding sexuality? I would have thought that the probabilities were that Candida chose her name extremely carefully, because she wants to participate in discussions relating to sexual issues in a frank manner. Pep (It would be too subtle humour for some, though)

If you find the name offensive, then go inworld and AR it on that basis. But don't sit here in a public forum and slam a person for the name they chose and imply that what they may have to say on a topic is invalid because of their name. And further, nobody else found the name offensive until YOU pointed it out.

Did you know that "Avawyn" means "White woman of easy virtue" in Welsh, if you excuse the erroneous use of 'v', which is how a single 'f' sounds in Welsh. Pep (Being Welsh, I might find YOUR name offensive)

Can't go look from work, but I'm hoping it's the video to this: Candida
( Tony Orlando and Dawn )
The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I ?
Just an ordinary guy
Tryin' hard to win me first prize
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams
The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I ... in a house, Baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams
Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

Candida is the name of a popular brand of aspartane sweetener in the UK as well.
Pep (Perhaps named after Tony Orlando's song?)

I blush to note that I actually own a video made by Candida Royalle. "Stud Hunters" to be exact. ("A Hard Man is Good to Find"  |

Oh, it's a name too. I worked too long in the medical field. I was expecting Herpes Flare to show up next. I could be wrong? |

I was expecting Herpes Flare to show up next. I could be wrong? And even if you do....so what? There are many names running around that I find offensive but unless they directly impact my life, I live and let live....and perhaps you could try that as well. I'd sure like to see Candida get an apology somewhere along the line.

What if ... A couple who are partnered in RL individually sign up for SL. Without knowing the identity of their partners in SL, they accidentally meet and start having a relationship without disclosing anything about their Rl. Is this infidelity? Yes, it's their RL partner, but they are not aware of that. Then one or both begin to suspect that their RL partner is having an affair in SL.... Ooooooohhh!!!! The lies and coverups..... |

I'd sure like to see Candida get an apology somewhere along the line. Why are you involved? Are you the alt? If not, it's none of your business who apologies to whom nor to dictate that. |

I'm involved because I've watched you all week in this forum judging and criticizing other people. This one was so petty that I couldn't stand it anymore. So, I made it my business. You don't *have* to apologize, of course, but it will just go further to solidify the reputation you've worked so hard to build this week in here. Do what you want and please, start by muting me, because you'll be *much* happier if you do....I will not tolerate anyone stepping on the rights of someone else because their name isn't to "their" liking.

And you will find that if you don't mind your manners, when you grow up, no-one will want to talk to you . . . Pep (Just a suggestion; you can't make anyone do anything in sl, *or* the forums)

From: PabloM Forzane Hi everyone,
i work for Linden Lab's PR agency in the UK and i've just heard from the BBC about a programme it is working on.
I've pasted a description below:
On our second show of the new series, on January 4, we are looking to debate the issue of virtual infidelity, asking the question: Can You Commit Adultery Online?
I am looking for an active Second Life user who answers either yes or no to the above question – perhaps somebody who has a relationship in real life but thinks nothing of forming sexual relationships in SL, as it is not ‘real’ cheating; or somebody who did fall in love with someone on SL when they were already in a real-life relationship and admits that an SL affair is cheating.
if this of interest to you, please email me on [email]paulm@lewispr.com[/email]
cheers,
Paul If you're legit get a Linden here to say you are. If you're not are aware that saying you work for Linden Lab when you're not is against the TOS and bannable offense. I personally like to see more information why "Masturbation, Unclean thoughts, or using the toilet alone is cheating should be punishable worldwide by having one's eyes plucked out, offending hand cut off and if you have a spouse, partner they have right to own every inch of your body, soul because they love you, own half of what you will ever earn and have right to make you suffer and enforce the no sex policies you must adhere too or burn in hell." Episode.

So, about the original topic..
12-19-2008 09:43
I saw a couple people mentioning that the OP may not be able to be trusted without having a Linden name, which is what i had initially been thinking as well ("wait.. he doesn't have a Linden name.. how can he be part of LL?" .. but then i read this part again: "i work for Linden Lab's PR agency in the UK" he's not saying he works for Linden Lab. he's saying he works for a PR agency that LL happens to be a client of. (see this page: http://www.lewispr.com/main/clients.html) oh.. and we may want to swing back in the direction of the original thread topic.
