I know what you are referring to. But in this case, that's not what she meant. She was talking about dancing a jig, the thread, about dancing, from a person named 'Jig'....... I am more than a little insulted that both Nina and Jig would jump to that conclusion before the simpler meaning. So much for tolerance of my cultural heritage, here in NZ I have only heard that word used to mean a dance, usually of Celtic original. _____________________

Some of us don't want to have sex in SL.
Some people who are on are disabled and cannot dance in real life. There's a million good answers to justify expressing one's joy in music and dance in Second Life. We Henlies like to do the chicken dance. If dancing embarrasses you and avatar sex doesn't, then to each his her or its own. SL and the Internet are about diversity. Try to live with it. _____________________

Thanks Treasure, that is the only meaning that has any sensible meaning in what I wrote. Nothing else makes any sense. Sheesh. I have never knowingly made any derogatory comments about anyone's race nor would I. It is something I myself abhor but then if Nina and Jig knew me they would know this. I am more than a little insulted that both Nina and Jig would jump to that conclusion before the simpler meaning. So much for tolerance of my cultural heritage, here in NZ I have only heard that word used to mean a dance, usually of Celtic original. Gabriele, I really must ask you to point out where I suggested you were racist. To my knowledge I never said you were. I meant that one poster did indicate a sense of cultural superiority but I never - never - indicated it was you. I understand you dislike me - that's fine - but never felt you disliked me because of my ancestry. Jig is a name - wih many meanings. Yes, it is a dance. As you know. Please read my posts carefully - I repeat, I never felt you were prejudiced against me because of my skin colour or my declared ancestry. You just don't like me - but that has NOTHING to do with my physicality. Instead, it has EVERYTHING to do with my personality. I know that - and that's cool. Jig. _____________________

You have it totally wrong as usual Jig, I don't dislike you, how could I? I don't even know you. However I read what you post and a lot of it strikes me as absurd, contradictory, drama-laden, flame-baiting at best, trolling at worst and at times highly offensive to others and so I comment. You invite comments, these are mine - you don't get everything you ask for the way you want it so be careful what you ask for. _____________________

I cant remember alot of the 80's maybe its because I wear my sunglasses at night.  Oh god. More (Canadian) 80s dreck. You are really all pretty merciless, aren't you? Yesssssssssssss. Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyVjdQXNs9s The eighties were cool, I tell ya. Just have to remember the right bits.  -- Aes Well, Bowie isn't REALLY 80s, is he? He's sort of timeless. Same with Iggy Pop. So they don't count. _____________________

RACIST! No, that is me. Because I say a culture that allows Jig, Bri, Brenda, you or any other woman to do just about anything you want to do is better than a culture that won't let you drive, requires you to go outside in a full body covering or removes your clit with a sharpened stone. Just as a few examples. But hey, that is just me, I never claimed to be enlightened. I am a knuckle dragging traditionalist caveman. _____________________

But that's not about race anyway, it's about culture. Yes, but some don't understand that. Especially since many large cultural divisions are .......practiced(not sure if that is the right word, but mind is a bit cloudy today) by specific racial/religious groups. _____________________

...So, WHEN did the partner-imposed banishment of Jig from these environs begin, again?
Or is this the latest in the 1,000 goodbyes? _____________________

I too find dancing in SL extremely boring.I use to like it when I joined back in 2005.As I don't know the majority7 in the club,I sit and watch my av move and it is just darn boring.
I rather create and xploder hop or surf around.So no jig,you are not alone in this emotion. But I must admit that I do have two dances I turn on when I am xplodering hunting. I do enjoy getting the new ones that come out. Clubbing doesn't hold my interest. |

S'true. It's up on Youtube but I didn't include a link as I felt disinclined to spam the forum with an ad. I must admit I found it a bit strange to see him during our tv commercial breaks, although it is a mad kind of ad. I guess he's a bit strapped for cash atm. -- Aes |
