Did I do something wrong here?

Hi I'm working on my PhD thesis and my subject is "Jerks in Virtual Environments" If you are a jerk, or think you might be one, would you help me out by following the link below and answering a few questions? It will only take about 15 minutes and I'll be really grateful.

Offer 5 lindens for taking the survey, just to sweeten the deal

I once came home to my castle and found some people...ah, using my exercise equipment in the dung...er, basement.

Then one of them told me they wanted privacy and they don't like voyeurs. I asked them to look at "about land" and there was a very amusing long silence...

The female version of the miscreant has her own "boyfriend", who basically just likes being walked on and can't do better for himself.

Don't forget to promise 100 lindens and ask for email adresses

I only just got that L$100 from Max. Oh well, easy come easy go.

You did? It's not even payday.

LL must've stolen my money while I was logged in at that internet cafe. Stupid American company.

I'm going to spend 4 hours on a long distance call swearing at some customer services drone until they give me my L$100 back. This is outrageous.

No, better than that. I built a rather fetching cottage in the middle of it. I'll send you 100L on payday.

Sometimes folks like those are a few brain cells short of a pair.
Like those who plop a house right down on an active runway and get all uppity when its returned by land owners, staff, or autoreturn... Or someone parks a jumbo jet in their living room...

It can also be fun to take the piece of exercise equipment back into your inventory or move it around while they are using it.

feh. banning. how boring. I' d have a little sign up, reading "Warning, weapons test area. By loitering here or even bulding here you agree to volunteer as a practice target.", and then set the whole place to damage enabled.

I am thoroughly confused. I just purchased some land, and immediately there was someone building a house on it. He initially claimed it was his land, but if I right-click the ground outside and choose "About Land...", it says it's mine. After he then refused to answer me for some time, I disabled object creation and returned his house. He then grew somewhat verbally abusive. I just want to confirm that I'm not misunderstanding something. If I right-click the land and it clearly says it belongs to me, is there any situation in which someone else should expect to be able to build a house there?

I've attached the conversation with names removed:

[9:40] You: Hello.
[9:40] X: hello
[9:40] X: did u knock
[9:40] You: Sorry. I thought I just bought this.
[9:40] X: no this is my part of land
[9:40] You: Oops, sorry!
[9:41] You: Are you sure? If I right-click the land, it says I'm the owner.
[9:41] X: ur
[9:42] X: you are
[9:44] You: Okay, so if I am the owner, why are you building a house here?
[9:44] X: cause i need 1
[9:44] You: On my land?
[9:45] X: i will pay
[9:45] You: I am not renting the land, though.
[9:45] X: so
[9:46] You: Perhaps you had better explain yourself.
[9:48] You: Do you intend to explain yourself?
[9:49] X: wow
[9:49] X: fuck u
[9:49] X: bitch
[9:49] X: i was going to give you 100 lindens

It may be my intoxication, but for some reason I read that log and heard it in my mind as if sung in opera.

Only in a country with a federal judiciary controlled by Republicans catering to big money real estate developer needs.............

NOT JOKING. Not joking..........................*even slightly*

Quote modified and corrected for accuracy.

You correction doesn't even make any sense.

I'm no republican by a long shot - but saying they would support a communal "share the land" type idea is pretty backwards.

It only doesn't make sense if you are ignorant of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London which expanded the doctrine of eminent domain to allow the seizure of privately owned land for private development of the land which would serve the greater economic interest of the community. The post to which Brenda was responding was asking if someone can build on the person's land and in the United States, the highest court, packed by Republican appointees, has said yes they can if the government chooses to take it away from you and give it to them. While the decision has since been widely criticized by the entire political spectrum including Republicans, it is nonetheless ironic that a Republican packed court would have issued such a decision which, as illustrated by your own conceptions and Brenda's, is the type of policy that one would imagine would be adopted by a political body with a more liberal socialist agenda.

It would help if LL didn't turn on all permissions for land that goes through a sale.
It's idiotic.

[Ban Line mention warning]
When newbies buy land, they don't necessarily know that they should set land permissions to something sane.
Then somebody craps all over their land.
ZOMG! How do I stop this?
Ban everyone!!!
