Its kind of like how they enforce Speeding in Detroit.


999 times out of 1000 you will get away with it. But that 1000th time you get a pretty heavy fine.

And the Judge really doesn't care that going less than 75mph on 696 will get you crushed by the rest of rush hour traffic.


HA you have no idea how much truth there is in that Colette ,, from A2 to you :)

sheesh

IMHO "Erection" is PG. It means "a building". Ivan has a building.

OK, there's another interpretation, but it's still PG. So is "Penis breath", according to the movie industry, in rating "ET the Extraterrestrial", but I'd probably side with barring that name.

Seriously: Erection is not scatalogical. It's a term with many meanings, but even in the sexual connotation it's pretty clinical and definitely PG. G? Maybe not.

LL requires "PG", not "G".

However, it's a matter of judgement. Bad judgement on LL's part, in this case. But I'm sure Ivan will get over it. It's certainly less clear than the Gaybot case.

Yah, despite everything I see "erection" as PG.

Gaybot should also have been seen as PG.

My car broke down on 696 just before rush hour once!

This was before I had a cell phone, just a pager.

Yeah a pager does you a heck of a lot of good when 5 zillion cars are flying past at 85 miles an hour.

And, finally, what happened to Gaybot? Was his account disappeared or something? Bummer, I loved that name! And, who is he now, if anyone?
.

This might have been answered, if so, sorry: I believe they changed it to Faybot. And I think it wasn't a choice, they just changed it to Faybot. Sounds like CrazyIvan had a choice (not to keep the other name, but what to change it to).

You could have thrown it at someone, maybe get their attention.

That sounds like Route 80 where I live. One time in traffic court, *just a spectator* the judge himself admitted that he did 75 in a 65 zone and felt like he was in the slow lane. The guy on the stand was clocked at 95.

If you ever contest a ticket - make sure you toss the cops and former cops off the jury, ok? Especially if they were former traffic officers.

I served on a jury with one former police officer (traffic) and one former military police (traffic). And yes, it really did matter. Like when it came up about radar guns, and gauging the speed of the police car and how over time you need to have your speedometer fixed as it flutuates . . etc. And the way the traffic cops reacted in the jury room. sheesh. Open and shut case. The guy had some "I saw a gun and I was panicy and racing away" story. The cops pointed out there was no defense under the statute in question. So guitly. There was a wide margin in fine, though, so . . . wait, where is my million dollar book deal?

Spend a few minutes researching the laws. I had two tickets thrown out because the clerk assigned a court date 5 days past the legal limit. I pleaded not guilty and was by statute supposed to have a trial date within 42 days. The clerk set a date 47 days later. A letter to the judge demanding a legal date got me a letter dismissing all charges.

A long time friend

As a long time friend of Ivanerection Oh, it pains me to see that they would pick on him after all the good he has done in SL. He is a man of his word and helps all that comes to him with open arms. His name has been in the wide open for all to see all this time and has built a big reputaion for honor and as well has a following for his DJing. For him to have to change his name Im sure has cost him not only time and trouble but also loss of people who follow his music. I dont see how one person would have the right (especialy being new) to do this to a very much loved member of SL. I agree with a former writer that states all the X rated things that go on in SL should be shut down before you find a problem with a persons name. I think your morals are a bit turned upsidedown.

Funny, I had never heard of Mr. Erection until this thread. But I keep hearing how he is the most popular person in SL.

I want to thank you all for your participation in this thread!! It's nice just having a dialog even if we disagree.
I am ok with this name change, it is as some have pointed out, what i wanted long ago. Yes, it was a stupid choice on my part in the beginning but it started as a joke, albeit a bad one in some eyes. My wonderful friends who have come to my support are invaluable to me and perhaps if you, who do not know me, gave me a chance you may also think i am an ok guy.
We all do agree that as customers, paying tier, membership fees ect, that this could and should have been handled in a much better method but hey its the Lindens and they get to do what they wish.
I hold no grudges, like my quote says, "life is just too short to take it serious"
Perhaps we will run across one another in game and say hi , I'd like that :) so friends and all others concerned ,LET'S LET THIS DROP AND THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN!!!

Now i am just Crazy ,, but hey I always was !!

As usual Ivan your character (as in the real life personal one) comes thru to the end. You have the good judgement to handle the critcisms and snarky comments with grace. Now maybe others can see why you are so well loved in SL. This was an interesting discussion and I appreciate being able to see all the points of view that have been expressed. That's what makes SL such a fascinating place...the diversity is endless. Thanks again to all our friends who made an unpleasant experience more tolerable by expressing their support.

I do not understand. There appears to be a disconnect from the first part of your message and your second part.

Oh, and tip 2: you can use strong language on 3rd party website forums (I am specifically thinking of one SL related 3rd party forum, SLUniverse.com, when I mention a forum allowed to use strong language), but they, being the Lindens, appear to frown on that on their forums. PG forums.
