One thing OP and friends should know is that LL doesn't read the forums. They may not know the forums exist.

Whatever happens in the forums, stays in the forums.

I thought the cartel here was all about free speech? I guess free speech for some of you only applies when it's on your terms. Some people have engaged in a discussion others have simply got together in a pack and attemped to silence and intimidate.

Sweetie, don't EVER use the Cartel as one of your arguments. The Forum Cartel is a loose group of people who happen to have basically the same sense of humor, and doesn't necessarily include the vast majority of people who post here. I'm sure that there are people here who actually don't like the whole "cartel" idea. That's fine. They can do that. It's a "for fun" group with no agenda, purpose, or belief system. We have parties now and then and make stupid jokes. That's it. Get over your bad self.

So what was the excuse of the other 10 billion murders that have happened in Human history? It is easy to cherry pick ones that meet your agenda, but that does not prove your point.


They carried out their killings by mimicking particulary imaginative ways of exposing the victim to the maximum amount of pain through torture, before despatching them, from scenes in their magazines. Is that the sort of proof you are after?

Proof of what, that they were deranged individuals?

They were clearly not healthy, well balanced individuals. Unlike you or I, they probably would be whacking off to "A Clockwork Orange".

They would have been killers with or without the influence of any media.

No

Only that they copied that act, not that they wouldn't have done the same thing.

Might want to look up the terms causeation and corolation

Or causation and correlation even.

But I HAVE accidentally walked into Gorean sims, or inadvertently found myself at dance clubs that feature sexually violent animations or images. And I know others who have as well.


On your "World" menu is a "Teleport Home" command. I advise using it in such situations.

I'm also skeptical that ordinary dance clubs display "sexually violent animations or images". Do you have some examples?

Does anyone remember the guy that advertised for someone to kill and eat him, it was in Germany I think, anyway a bloke took him up on it and they made a vidio of the consent and did it...

It went to court. I can't remember if he got charged or not.

Batshit insane is the term that comes to mind.

...SL Gor (like SL in general) is VAST. There are more than 260 Gor sims, and they are all different. At least *we* recognize that if you don't like the way things are, you can get your own sim and do it your way...


Alix...have you been following the Adult Content debate? Did you know that "Gor" is on the "adult" search word list? That all non-account verified residents will be unable to find "Gor" in search or visit any of those 260 sims?

If I were Gor, I would be putting any petty squabbles and wars and feuds aside and marching on San Francisco.

One would hope not. I would assume that he'd be resting comfortably in the upper intestine of the eater.

Wouldn't that basically be the same as helping someone commit suicide (not to open THAT pandora's box of a topic) - cannibalism afterward, or not?

Suicide is illegal it is just hard to prosecute the victim. Helping someone commit suicide is illegal in a lot of places too.

ETA: Ian I could've really gone the rest of my natural life without that mental image...and btw PG FORUM everyone. Lol.

I am 100% behind all the laws we have in Britain that ban the depiction, in whatever form, of the abuse of women or children.

What people do in the privacy of their own home I generally support, but not when it comes to minors, and not when it comes to vunerable women.


You are equating adult women with "minors" and "children". It is the height of sexism to treat women as if they are incapable of making life choices. I believe that adult women are entitled--just as adult men are--to make whatever lifestyle choices they desire. Even dumb ones.

That's a hell of a way to off yourself. There are people that do that stuff in sl.....i forget what they are called, but they like to have their avis put in ovens or bbq'd and eaten. As with everything else - there is a title for that desire of which I've also forgotten....or blacked it out. Gross.

So the attempt went off half-cocked?

QFT. My parents raised me to think for myself, to make my own choices and live with the results. I don't need someone else to do that for me, especially any political hacks.
