How have you been griefed?

I lack a Maserati GranCabrio.

Pep (Is that a "concience"? In that case maybe I should reconsider my moral stance.)

I could, but it doesn't irritate me.

It's the wrong question because I'm not being irritating. Or... if the fact that I reply to each post that Laurin makes to me is irritating, then it sits well with my concience, since replying to posts that are written to you shouldn't wind the writer of them up.

You guys have been going at it hammer and tongs for days now. I am already fed up, so shall do just that. As I said, I have already had my say. What keeps you picking nits I have no idea.

I don't keep picking nits. I merely reply to posts that you write to me. If you don't write them, I won't reply to them

Again?

Pep (Unambiguously this time?)

I'm off out for lunch now.

I've said all that I have to say about Pep and that outburst, and I stand by every word of what I've said. I'll say no more.

Enjoy!
Thank you for assisting in promoting the visibility of the most indecent post ever made in these forums.
If only that were the truth.

Pep (Irresistible.)

Could you mod it for knocking heads together?

I'll try tomorrow - thanks Laurin

I hate these arguments.

They're not fun arguments, they're adult ones. I know you may be in a different age category, but these remind me of real arguments.
I dont like them.
Please make up. I am NOT being silly.
Pep please stop being so "old"and piggle-headed. Yes, piggle heaed!

Your name was not on my post.

LOL!

You were "supposed to be dead"?? Says something about the mental age of most griefers, does it not?

A deformer is a script the contorts and deforms your avi? If so, I've been hit by that one, after stupidly accepting what was supposed to be a "hug" animation from a new acquaintance (who is not, I need hardly say, on my friend's list now). I had to log off to fix it.


This one is interesting, as it corresponds somewhat with what I've sometimes seen referred to as a "voodoo doll" attack, in which an apparently "harmless" object, animation, or script is used to trigger an unwanted animation. It's frightening, that in this case, the effects seemed to linger: was the animation retriggered even after relogging? And dare I ask what the "embarrassing" animation was?

Ok, Scylla writes this:


to which you reply:




Thus my reply without my name needing to be on the post.

Why would you insult someone you've never met, seen , or interacted with?



This was in response to Scylla talking about Pep alienating women. Your response indicates any woman whom he hasn't alienated (Laurin and I for instance) must not have a head on our shoulders. I find that insulting as well.

Thanks Scylla. *hugs*

Your name was not on the post either.

Correct. Instead I am part of the group of people you insulted as a whole. Apparently being friends with Pep means I don't 'have a head on my shoulders', according to you.

Thank you ladies, but Mickey's English isn't that good . . .

Pep ( . . . and anyway, she tends not to read the posts of others before she posts - or afterwards, it seems.)

I'm not going to fight with you.

I wondered why Pep had apparently stopped trolling the unending thread. It turns out he was busy making friends here.

Let's see...



Well said. And he's not sulking. He's admitted in no uncertain terms that he's trying to run Rhonda off of this forum. He thinks he's found the thin edge of the wedge and is trying to drive it through. But he's seriously overplaying his hand, and I think it's safe to say that most people recognize it for what it is. Even if, and pay attention Pep, even if they felt strong distaste for what Rhonda wrote, they still realize that you provoked it, and are trying to use it to lead a mob like charge to drive her away.



It didn't hurt him. He's very pleased with himself. Thinks he's got ammunition.



Exactly.



You stand by your friend, which is admirable. On the other hand, when you defend such obvious douchebaggery, it's inevitable that people will think you're a douchebag too. I know I do.

A common claim is that he's not like this in other venues. Perhaps not. I don't care. He *is* like this here, and this is context in which you defend him.



Say that *another* few dozen times.

This reminded me of a novel I read back in the 80s, written by a Deaf guy. (At the time I was considering becoming a sign language interpreter and I was immersing myself in Deaf culture.) The story was about a bunch of militant Deaf separatists who infiltrated an island--I think somewhere off the coast of Maryland or Delaware--and when enough of them had moved there, they staged a revolution and seceded from the union to form the first Deaf nation. It was pretty funny; I enjoyed it a lot. I can't remember the title, though, and even several minutes of Googling likely keywords didn't help.

As for griefing, I haven't seen much. When I first came here, just a bit over a year ago, I used to use a barren rock island in the ocean near the public Help Island to change clothes. That area used to be subjected to storms of rezzed cubes, often with Nazi emblems on them. These grew more frequent, and one day a cube hit me and knocked me sprawling. I lolled--not because I think Nazi idiocy is funny, but because I'd never been knocked down in SL before. What did I do about it? That's when I decided to go premium and buy land so I'd have a place to change my clothes.

Since then I've had some strange objects dropped on my land, including a rather large red pulsating flying saucer, and a Zyngo machine that I found lying on its side in the tops of the trees that make up my "Avenue of Palms". That's when I finally decided to turn object-entry off for my land.

Oh, and to be clear about it, he did indeed drive a valued member of our community off. He even chased her to another forum briefly before apparently thinking better of it.

I already knew that. And it matters no more now than it did then.

See, no outburst, no pissy fit retaliation tantrum

And that is an example of "griefing."

And here is my own personal example:

/327/a8/275685/1.html

All I did was contact the guy for a conversation. That's all. This thread was started about my alt....and he implied that he would ruin me with this thread. I had just started a business that was doing very well. I was also blackmailed, that if I did not disclose who my main av was.....that he would pin that tag on someone else, and destroy someone else, instead....so that messed with my head, too. It was a terrible month, that month. I'm not a pushover. But that cut like a knife. And I almost left SL entirely, over it. You can go to page 21 for the summary of what it cost me.

It's a form of Griefing. No if's, and's or but's about it.
