Can Any One Help Me Understand, Please?

And, why not? If a name offends someone...shouldn't they be requested to change it? That's what's happened here...and a name that can have many different definitions; that's been proven. So, what's the difference...just because the Linden that did this their name in the gutter obviously...even their first name is that of a porn star!!!

It's so obvious to me where that linden's head is, LOL!!

Thanks I refuse to waste pictures on this thread, though.

*****You didn't like what he had to say, get over it.*****

Correct and I responded to it. I am not allowed to do that? LOL.....The guy is a redneck........Just read his tag. He openly admits it and the concept is reinforced by ignorant posts.

But hey, perhaps we can re-educate him him.

And I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to civil rights? Yes I do. I'm a freaking ex-marine and I know you have to fight for them. Chris is a wus who wouldn't object to the waiter if his eggs came scrambled and he ordered them over easy.

My name is JerryDon Lane and I approve of this message....

What he's doing, in case you haven't been in forums for very long, is highlighting the part he's referencing...and since there's no 'highlighter' button to do this...the way he did it is more clarifying.

(^_^)

No Former Marine I ever knew would call himself an Ex Marine.

Your civil rights arguments belong in the real world. They do not apply to Second Life, or any private online environment.

Doesn't matter if one person finds Chris Norse to be an offensive name and AR's it.

Goes by Linden's idea of what fits some odd thing called "community standards" (whatever that might be). "erection", apparently, falls on the list, in some Linden's mind, as being against TOS. Chris, baring unforseen circumstances, would not. Granted, it is up to whatever Linden comes across the AR, apparently.

It's more a case of great minds think alike.

Quoted to highlight the poster's cluelessness

Brenda said it best

You don't have any rights inside a fucking computer game.

I agree, Wierd Sh*t is an awesome shop - one of my favourites too Shame it has to change - damned PG rules

1 user agreed. I refuse to waste anymore time on it, period. Seems I have a stalker who is keeping track of where I post. I think I'll take her for a walk.

What?

Quote, then delete all but the relevant portion.

His way is actually quite unclear...it seems like he's debating himself.

Hai, hai. Yeah, it's not likely he's going to lose his money, land or inventory to this either. They are tied to the account, uuid and not just the name. The only time that inventories really get lost is when the asset server decides to die.

Oh, and if you wanna talk to a Linden about customer support, try Char Linden. Or ask Katt Linden if there is some you could talk to concerning this. Make it a constructive critique, don't blow up at 'em. Clearly word your suggestions and don't be too disappointed if it doesn't get implemented, though.

Sapphire, I think you should now let this go and focus on actually helping your friend get the word out about the name change in a positive way. Word of mouth for a DJ is a priceless thing.

Why do you always get the nice stuff??

That or actually highlight whatever he wants to highlight. Making sure he separates it out in a quote box so it doesn't look like he is debating with himself.

Is this when I should make the "master debater" joke?

It would take a cunning linguist to get it in on time. (^_^)y

I do not know. I'm apparently new to forums.

Must be my sweet disposition

I wish you guys well, love your stuff, hope this hiccup does not cause you too many hassles.

Yes Chris has friends, which is more than you are making here with your attitude. You clearly didn't want help because you have taken issue with any help you have been offered. Just my observations of course, take them or leave them.

To be serious for a very brief moment, I'm surprised your name lasted this long. I think you will see more of this as LL heads toward Corporatized Disneyfication. The white bread mainstream that Big Mitch is courting doesn't like to see dirty words all over the place.

I've been to your store, your stuff isn't my taste, but it looks like quality merchandise. i hope you move forwrd without missing any steps with the name change.

Not PG and/or (broadly) offensive.

1 out of 2 (it's just not PG) means he was in violation and the action they took was justified.

As far as the definition of offensive goes, I would - again - suggest you take the trouble of attending the GTeam office hour (assuming you can keep yourself calm) and they would tell you:

I think the name lasted so long, maybe, because it isn't immediately obvious. There is that Ivan in the way. Granted that makes it "I have an erection, Oh", but they actually have to be able to see that. Instead of say with someone with the name "Erection Oh"
