At clubs I see a lot of nuisance stuff that is usually not intentional griefing but just silliness by people who don't think - things like multi line gesture spam that they mistakenly think enhances the party atmosphere or wearing elaborate costumes with hundreds of studs and buckles that cause the viewer to crash when I cam past them.

Maybe I go to the wrong sort of clubs!!!

They made puberty and got more interested in porno magazines.


They still print those? Haven't those kids heard of the interwebz? All porn, All the time.

However, he ALSO left, at the entrance of this exhibit, a very graphic RL image of a woman's corpse.


That is unspeakably awful. I hope you all AR'd that sociopath.

...That particular message seemed pretty clear.
Be careful before assuming a griefer is trying to send any kind of message. That plays right into their hands. (>_<;)

The intent, when using extreme imagery, is to shock and disturb. The goal is to target the sore spot and prod at it in order to deliver the greatest disturbance. (T_T)

The penises are simply an adolescent carryover... Looking at any tagged up city park bench will remind us of that. (=_=)

Corpses, aborted fetuses, diseased flesh, racist/sexist imagery, political and social attacks... ALL are intended to shock and offend for the sake of shocking and offending. Really, griefers couldn’t care less for any political or social agenda. They’d sooner work their victims up to a foaming frenzy just to see it happen. And, when it does happen, they got their prize. (T_T)

So, do your best to not reward the griefer by saying you got a “clear message” from their attack. It merely rewards their actions with the desired response. (>_<;)

Yep, sociopathic griefers. I would gladly put up with a hundred cagers and lolboxers but I have zero tolerance for the type of person who would enjoy looking at or displaying images of death.

Yes, but it was pretty clear the griefer was a one-use alt, so I don't know that it did any real good, sadly.

You may of course be right, Immy, although the use of the picture of a dead woman in the context of a Woman's Centre seems more than a little deliberate. In any case, whether the message was intended or not, it made no material difference to the way in which the centre is run. It is still an open facility.

We had a neighbor put up posters of roadkilled raccoons right next to our "coonspiracy" land. We had to wait him out and get a Linden to return them after he abandoned it.

As a frequent flyer of one-use-alts, I can only apologise.
