You may have over reacted a bit, but it sounds like great fun!

From: Har Fairweather I recognize this pattern. There is a sub-species of griefer that proceeds step by little step to find out how much crap you will take from them. They will not stop and have no limit except the ones you set.
I have no idea what reward they get from this behavior, but there really is only one answer: Get rid of them quickly and as emphatically as feasible. And don't waste time interacting with them afterward, because they will take it as an opportunity to start their limit-testing game all over again. Drop the hammer on them, and they usually don't come back, so I infer it is getting away with dumping crap on you that somehow rewards them. Have compassion for their sick, passive-aggressive little minds if it makes you feel better, but have absolutely no mercy. They have marked you for their victim, not their therapist. I consider this to be a very likely explanation. Some children start acting like this when they really need to find out from their overly indulgent or neglectful parents what the boundaries are. Lot's of people learn as children how to get negative attention rather than positive and are willing to settle for it as preferable to no attention. Also I think there it's the anonymity of SL that allows people to see what it's like to act badly with out danger of real life consequences. They don't even really want to be bad people they're just curious what it feels like.

LMAO Such vivid imagery! Nah...I don't think you overreacted. Panhandling is pandhandling and rude no matter what language you're speaking. I think though he might have been trying to be funny. Gawd, this thread cracked me up...now I gotta go see how hard everyone else is laughing.

Annabelle, I think I know the club you're talking about.....I've had stupid visitors too. If they don't behave, well, goodbye. I don't think that's overreacting.

Really? Other then Sands I've not seen these others in the forums. But if I did there's no way I'd know what they are.
Besides, let's give Connolly some more to talk about, I don't mind.
At the moment there's no reason to log in. I cleared cache since I couldn't change clothes and all that did was change me completely. Now, I'm totally deformed with a big head, tits, I've shrunk and I walk funny. When I try to change clothes it says to wait til my shape loads in but I've waited about 15 mins and nothing and I don't have the patience to wait any longer so I left.

I'm probably entering the thread where everyone has already moved past answering your original question, but I'll do it anyway.
Were you excessive? Yeah. Was it funny? Hell yeah.
I have little patience with anyone asking me for Lindens so I sure wouldn't lose sleep over it.

You walk around in another country asking for money, you got to expect a bit of flack, I got to make a flexi $1L note to give people like that Can't afford $2L but have a computer and ADSL internet?

Exactly. Just last night a woman was sitting on the ground outside a supermarket. I didn't hesitate to go in and buy her a sandwich. In SL no ones goes hungry and no one is cold. Don't bother me begging for money - click the blue button on top of the screen.
