Of course we all choose what to say, but we make our choices based on emotional responses. We aren't all emotionless robots, we react to things we hear, sometimes impulsively. That doesn't make it right.

To her credit, Amara didn't respond or engage herself in the negative. When she'd had enough she simply left. And that had to be hard for her.  That's the way she is. She doesn't harbor ill toward anyone over this I'm sure. She is just saddened by it all. _____________________

I can't help thinking that this is all sounding a little bit like one of those children's games that gets WAY out of hand. As me old grandmum used to say, "Stop it now, or there'll be tears before teatime!"And lo and behold, there usually were. Isn't there a way to simply call a kind of truce here?

That doesn't make it right. True,my ex husband always knew how to get a rise out of me and I wasn't always very level headed with him. But on a forum,I think it would take a lot for me to freak out over some anonymous person saying stupid things about pictures of cartoon people. But that's just me I guess. _____________________

That's a gross oversimplification, and you know it. EDIT: and frankly, a thoroughly dishonest characterization of his targets on your part. _____________________

He is cruel & relentless with it. How you can be blind to that, I have no idea. His comments to Elora is just one example I can come up with...all because she was the first one to call him on something, a mispost... ETA: Rio, I'm not saying this to upset you or start a battle with you. . .it's just something that I don't understand. Sorry.  _____________________

He is an ass on this thread,he is trolling for responses and boy does he get them. If people would just ignore him,he would get bored and go away. But no,everyone needs to have the last word and look cool. The funny thing is,no one looks cool. You all look as bad as him and some worse. Even when he is not around people call him out._____________________

I do? Please tell me what I know or do not know because it seems pretty cut and dry to me. I think it's ridiculous to wish RL pain and death on someone because he said your avatar looks like a linebacker. OK, so because one person temporarily lost it, everything he has done to everyone has been justifiable? Are you saying that one person's angry outburst somehow means that nobody is justified in being angry at the way he treats them? Because it's only comments about cartoon pictures? Really? _____________________

OK but let's take that a step further and ask why would someone need to make such hurtful and mean spirited remarks about cartoon people? What pleasure can be derived from that? Rio, I know that you have taken a lot of time gettng your avatar to look the way you want it to.it's treuly beautiful. We all have spent a lot of efort and in some cases money on our "cartoons", at least most of us. But they are a reflecion of ourselves. For some of us it is the only thing we will create in SL. And to have it constantly ridiculed and derided? It isn't right. _____________________

Are you saying that one person's angry outburst somehow means that nobody is justified in being angry at the way he treats them? Because it's only comments about cartoon pictures? Really? No,that is not what I am saying at all. I know there is more to it than that,I was addressing Rhonda's earlier post. But if you are all so angry with him,why is he not on your ignore list? Because in my opinion you enjoy the fighting with him. Plain and simple. There is a report a post option,there is ways to ignore people. You don't have to read him or react to him. If you choose to react to him, it will never end. _____________________

And to have it constantly ridiculed and derided? It isn't right. It actually wouldn't bother me,cause I don't think of my avatar's appearance as a reflection of me. I look completely different than her in real life. I wouldn't get offended if someone called my wow characters fat either. I guess it depends on how you look at things. But yes I can understand that it could be upsetting if you put a lot of time into something and had it ridiculed. Though once again that brings me to,why not just ignore him?_____________________

If you choose to react to him, it will never end. You are correct. We can ignore it. But why does it have to be here to be ignored in the first place. There is a whole forum for arguing and contentiousness. Why can't it be left out of this one thread? Why must it be started and responded to here. ? _____________________
