Mute everybody who disagrees with you.


Or put them in the adult only area?

Would they be *less* horrified to discover that the policy was already set, and that LL is only giving english speakers a chance to vent about it before they force it down *everyone's* collective throat? :)-V-
I think you would like my previous posts.

I looked at your profile do you run an adult business that will be affected or do you find drawing parallels to RL atrocities a sensible way to convey your views? Just wondering :)
I just wanted to throw something out there to consider...

What Linden Labs is proposing with this idea, and what most of us see coming as a result, is NOTHING like the atrocities carried out by the Third Reich and his regime. I, too, feel that comparing the two is inappropriate. One is evil incarnate, the other is corporate stupidity.

However, we all need to recognize that, although one is not equal or even similar to the other, the same dangerous slippery slope is being employed. The only difference here is that, at the end of *this* slippery slope, nobody dies or suffers torment. We all just get disgusted and go home, and SL fades into obscurity.

The people who need to see other opinions are seeing what I am writing whether you like it or not.
You really would be more effective in getting your opinions accepted if you would follow through on requests that you explain them.

Speaks for itself.

On second thought... This is not Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It is multiple personalities with an alt for each personality.

Hi, NDN is a loaner avatar a friend of mine was using. A variety of guests use that particular avatar.

I don't think it is worthwhile to try to reason with the majority of people posting here. My comments are addressed mostly to Lindens and others who are not posting because the environment is so hostile.

I agree the Lindens have probably already made up their minds. It is true that I enjoy pointing out how foolish and shallow most arguments here are. I have work to do tho. You guys have fun. : )

All which I can take away from this discussion is that now I can refer to myself as a 'Monster Adult'.

It ain't the Bible Belt doing this. Isn't Linden Labs located in San Fran, CA? Seems more like west coast political correctness instead.

From: Rene Erlanger
They are too afraid....they know somewhere between 80-90% of its customer base would tell them where to stick there proposed changes.

It's a shame that the "Bible belt" is trying to determine users from all around the world, (some of which come from more liberal countries) in what this platform should contain.
However, it takes two to tango......and LL are equally at fault for even entertaining this idea.

LL cares only about 2 things.....money...and good PR in the media.

I'd respect you more if you put forth decent case studies for your view. I work in education, I'm on a SL mailing list for education, the adult content issue has never came up. Education doing good things in SL has came up many times.

Everyone posting to this thread, no matter what their position on the Adult Continent, should probably vote for Gigs Taggart's proposal: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-205
Voted.

You won't ever know that unless you try.

BTW, isn't it against the ToS to share accounts?

If people can no longer understand the difference between fantasy and reality, between abstract and concrete, between photo and flesh, then we have a serious social problem. To confuse a metaphorical toaster made of prims and particles with a real toaster made of steel and plastic - to confuse an avatar with a flesh and blood human being - is, quite frankly, a sign of mental illness.
FWIW, a book is nothing more than dried wood pulp with dark pigmentation splashed all over it. yet many wars and social atrocities have been started by this innocuous object.

My impression is that the threshold beyond which something may become unacceptable for the purposes of PG rating is set quite low. I've no problem with that. However, so that no offence is caused, as an estate owner, I would like a resident to have the option to classify himself PG and myself as an estate owner the option of excluding such a person from my land.

In relation to the threshold between adult and mature, I think the definition is difficult because it all depends on context. Isn't the test whether in its particular context the item or activity would be unduly offensive to a reasonable, mature resident? For example, a sex bed in the open adjacent to a linden highway would applying that test be unduly offensive whereas a sex bed tucked away elsewhere on land would not.

I Belive that people need to choose pg or adult and that linden lab should work on their age verfication (ive tried to verify so many times its a freakin joke) so just make it so ppl set themselves at pg or adult and if their pg can go to only pg areas or adults can go anywhere or whatever this could solve alot of problems instead of a huge move thats a huge burden on alot of people seriously you lindens need to give this aloot of tought before you do anything cause i know second life and no matter what everyone wont be happy but you can minamize the damage with careful planning

I really fail to see how using atleast three, possibly four Alts on these forums to troll is getting your point across. If anything, you are simply making it more difficult for those who are for these new Linden proposals to be heard and counted.
