The solution seems simple to me. The government of Neaultenburg should get rid of the idea that banning someone from the sim and the forum is somehow a failure. I think the RL equivalent of this is deportation, and governments generally don't engage in self-doubt about using that punishment on a non-citizen bent on destruction.

It's a shame that individuals in the city have resorted to using alts. It's yet another example of how an up-front and honest solution is denied everyone due to the unethical behavior of a few.

I wonder if you have any justification *at all* for this statement...

Of course not. That's the whole problem with alts, Flyingroc. :D

Well I don't know about Gretchen, but I am an alt, though not of someone living in N'burg. But what's unethical about that? I'm not going to use my real name and risk character assassination too. It's too easy, even intelligent, honest people like to believe bad things about people. It's human nature. No need to pander to that, though. Rise above it! :)

Wow! Someone dropping $9.95 on an alt to post a positive message? Now I have seen it all. :D

Frankly it seems she's already taken the ball. I think this latest offer/thread is more like she's hanging around the field offering to hold the pigskin for Charlie Brown '.



I have often thought of Ulrika and myself as Lucy Van Pelt and Peppermint Patty respectively.

I have heard references to two particular people as Pigpen and Butthead probably based on the gi-normous grief that follows in the wake of the pools of putrid rhetoric left lying in their wakes.

AR'd and quoted for posterity.

Did you see yourself in my quote?

Wow. Something you don't like, while having no direct evidence at all that you are the one being referenced, and you jump to being all defensive?

I can use the analogy to focus on you if you like. Like Pigpen when he walks past, I am just taking note by your posts that you are still here -- isn't that what you want? Attention? Well, you got it.

BTW, I thought you said you were leaving.

Are you intending to live up to your words or are they just empty rhtetoric as I believe?

Do you realize who receives ARs for Group Forums?

Hint: Not LL.

Oh and while I'm at it, do yourself a favor an follow your self-imposed exile; this tempest in a teacup you've made for yourself can't possibly be doing you any good nor is it likely to resolve to your satisfaction. Sometimes it truly is best just to walk away.

That's why she said AR'd for posterity. It was a rib. :D

Is it just me or has this forum degenerated into the same kind of nonstop personal attacks as the external forum. Where is a member of the SC when you need them? Don't they have some sort of bat signal we can shine on a cloud? :D

~Ulrika~

P.S.- Mmm. Ribs.

And while I have absolutely no compunction about doing it (and the fifty damned report emails I woke up to find in my email were rather annoying) I am choosing not to out of respect.

as you're not a member of the SC --you also would be in violation of the law.

It is just you.

No double entendre intended (I think).
