Is Paying for Links in Profile Picks Cheating?

Trolls that way!-------------->

I don't see why anyone would discuss anything with you. You feel discussing their personal business is fair game.

Yes Gabi, Rene doesn't realize your post applied to him.



Pillow?

Lol...1.5 hrs later ...and you're "Troll" mode goes on unabated!

Trolls that way--------------->

Ready to apologize to Mort yet?

Trolls that way--------------->

I would consider that far more trolling than asking someone who was clearly wrong about Mort's "pony" post to ask if they would care to apologise. However that is just my opinion.


Yes Colette I would like one please - my head hurts.

Here we go again...is this going to be the continuation of the Bots thread now?

Why do you both stick your nose in Mort's business...if he has an issue, he's free to PM me. He's a grown man....unless Phil's assumptions are correct of course.

It doesn't have to. Take the high road and walk away. You've made your point.

No it isn't because I for one do not intend to get abusive - I was pointing out that if there is trolling behaviour it is clear from my point of view where it is occuring.

I think it is also very clear from dredging up other people's profiles to use against them that there is a clear winner for sticking their nose in other people's business. Just saying you know

Why discuss the issue with you?

You'll probably hunt through my profile looking for things you can use against me in the discussion.

You did it to Mort. You evidently don't see anything wrong with it.

Its a forum tactic....thick as thieves !

Ganging up together to apply pressure on a individual must provide you self satisfaction, makes you feel better when you go to bed at night that you achieved a hollow victory!

It doesn't matter that Mort goaded me on several occasions in the Bot thread....I even let 3 consecutive comments slide....it continued thereafer.....and here its with the Pony comments. He posted with his ALT playing more games, althought not very successfully! lol All these types of behaviour are acceptable as he's part of your group....one of your own!
Pony has a double meaning...a fetish sexual act and the one he supposed used as a code word."is used in place of other comments in retaliation for posts that seem to be deliberately inflammatory or outright illogical"

Is ok if I can use code word called "wanker"?.....I won't mean it literally just like "Pony"
what it will mean in future are for comments "used in place of other comments in retaliation for posts that seem to be deliberately inflammatory or outright illogical"

Mort did not dredge around in your Second Life look for something personal to mock and post it on these boards.

But you did it to him. Repetitively since it didn't take the first time. And in more than one thread.

If he can't stand the heat he should get out of the Kitchen. He might get away with some folk acting the arsehole....but sooner or later he's going to run in the wrong types.
Yes, i dug around......if there's a chink in his armour....I'll home in on it.

So you are saying .. in Rene's world .. Someone's Personal Second Life is fair game.

I wonder how many people around these forums would agree.

I wonder why of all those who disagreed with each other in either of the two threads you have been involved in..

You are the only one who stooped to that level?

Rene, is it also a forum tactic when you do it in conjunction of a few notable others here? I post when I feel like saying something, so does Colette I imagine. There is no pre-agreement about what our posts will contain - ever. Not inworld or in PMs.
You are coming off as sounding paranoid, when there are things said against Phil or Marcel, you are one of the first to jump in to defend them. If I were paranoid about a forum clique and collective forum tactics it would seem like you are part of a clandestine behind the scenes agreement.
It is simply not the case, I don't expect you to believe me and that is your entitlement but at least my testimony is here on record that Colette and I do not collude outside of PMs. I have not even met her inworld and only ever got one or PMs that were not even about you. For that matter i have never met Mort nor received *any* PMs from him ever.

I actually find your insinuation that I would be part of such a thing highly insulting, which is afterall what you are complaining about in others.

I will say this though, that in this thread in which you cannot claim I have had much influence over, your posts have been almost almost 100% flamebait. You are quick to insult *before* the other posters responding to you even though they often sometimes follow your lead which leads the thread in a downward spiral.
I also wonder how long you intend blame other people for actions you are at the very least guilty of before you take some responsibility for your own.

If you want to avoid this then do not start insulting people and they will not reciprocate or if they still insult you you then you will have the moral high ground as Brenda said. You don't even have to admit to anything - just stop flamebaiting people.

There is no insult intended or implied in what I have written and deliberately so, it is all observations and my opinion you may take them or leave them.

Almost everyone here agrees that dredging up personal life stuff is wrong. Even though Phil and I escalated to bot thread to where it got we both agreed afterwards that the personal stuff was wrong on both sides. How are you not learning from that lesson which you took a moral high road on when you called my behaviour disgusting? You are guilty of any crime that I have seen you so far accuse anyone else of.

BTW In answer to your question, "wanker" is pretty much unambigous in its meaning and only has an abusive meaning - the word indicates a type of abuse in fact. "pony" if offered by itself can be used to mean a lot of things and by itself is ambiguous of meaning without further context, one thing is certain though - none of the accepted meanings of "pony" is abusive.

Fair points Gabriele

I'm just tired of Mort & Colette double act. I shouldn't be a target either because i agreed with the percieved wrong camp.....it cuts 2 ways. Yes, if they rub me up the wrong way...i'm going to react and not a nice way. I would prefer if they ignored my posts in future and i would ignore theres., but i know that won't happen. I somehow think Colette in particular gets a bit a thrill for drama in here!

I'm tired of Colette's persistent trolling.

There is no drama.

There is you having crossed a line others won't.

-----------------------
I would advise you to keep people's personal second lives out of the discussions around here. It will only hurt you in the end.

come on Gabriele lets not kid ourselves here. When Mort use "Pony" he could very well be meaning ...and if he does, then i take that is a direct insult.

SO he *maybe* meant something insulting ...

And thus he deserves his personal tastes dragged into the thread and mocked?

That is ridiculous.

No Rene, I was there in the first thread where the "pony" word was used by Mort. He used it all the time when he felt the post was too silly to respond to.

That is my earnest observation. You can even go check, the posts are still there. I was not even aware of what is on Mort's profile until you brought it up here, as I stated before I have never met him in world nor thought to myself to look him up.

I have seen countless "pony" responses and the only person so far who took it the way you have is you. I admit though it is kind of a really minor forum meme but one that is shared by anyone who has been around and read enough posts to know not some nebulous clique.

You don't set the rules Colette as much as you'd like to think you do.

If it is against Forum TOS...then of course i'll abide with them and admit it was an error of judgement on my part. I could have disclosed a lot more than i did.....you might not know this, but i even know quite a bit about you going back to last year. SL is indeed a small world.......despite you being a pain in the arse, I chose not to.

When I thought rightly or wrongly Mort was referring to "Pony" as being a sexual fetish act...i chose to expose his own sexual fetishes. It was a simply tit for tat, nothing more and nothing less.......because thats the way I took his "Pony" comment. I had no references of it being some sort of code word.

it was the first time i have seen it being quoted...on here. I don't visit all the threads in RA
