Ban Pedophilia from SL?

Tragic. I mean that truely, having also been the victim of this type of crap, although NOT, I thank my lucky stars, to anywhere near the level you apparently have been, I can sympathise.

HOWEVER

That does not give you a more advantageous fulcrum in the level of logic.



Thank you.

People doing that would indeed be monsters. The problem is, you have not, yet, shown us these people.

I see. The time for rational discourse is over with, then.

Very well, have some Lorem Ipsum. That's about all I can add.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed mollis odio in nunc. Sed metus justo, auctor ut, aliquet vel, adipiscing ultrices, lorem. Suspendisse tincidunt lorem eu lacus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Curabitur ornare odio id lacus. Phasellus lectus quam, ultricies eget, vestibulum semper, posuere ut, lacus. Aliquam mattis luctus tellus. Nam eget ante. Donec neque augue, congue sit amet, hendrerit sit amet, faucibus sit amet, eros. Curabitur ac ligula non nisi posuere luctus. Cras vulputate.

How about the notion that even normal people reading these posts are defending attacks on me by obvious paedophiles?

In fighting any battle you have to stay firm and defend your ground.

Bella, I am truley sorry to hear that has happen to you... for the record I don't defend the idea of it going on in SL, but I think of it this way, there are movies about this stuff, movies about rape and murder.. it's not ilegal, why is that any different then RP in SL?

What obvious pedophiles?

Point to one please.

Any one.

I'll wait.



Sure. It doesn't mean you're going to win, or you're right, however.

Hi, bella. I'm sorry to admit that my putting you on Ignore lasted less than one day... it seemed pretty pointless, what with all the people quoting you, anyway.

I'm Abuse Reporting you, I'm now encouraging everyone else to AR you, and can anyone tell me if a resident can make a formal request to have someone banned?

But you just *can't* control someone else's thoughts, short of, perhaps, brainwashing and reeducation camps. Can't be done! Your psychology training should have tought you that.

Look, you can spend all your time and energy jousting at windmills or you can try to get something done.

Pixels on a screen do not need your protection.

Kids do.

Kids are not here in SL (they shouldn't be anyhow). You'll find them in multitudes out in the real world, though. Hop to! Put your effort where it matters.

No survivor of the holocaust would attack a person asking for sensitivity about the holocaust, no African American would attack a person asking for sensitivity about race relations and no survivor of sexual abuse would defend a person's right to fantasize about child molestation... twist it around all you want and see if you can get rational people to agree with your sick ideas... the truth rings out for rational people.

Anyone can pretend to be concerned about the issue but as you can see by the attacks I've endured here it takes some strength to fight the battle against those defending it.

Thank you for the head's up, mister.

By rational people, you mean people who agree with you.

Therefor, anyone who doens't agree with you is completley irrational.

Great arguement there.

I believe, in the course of this one thread, you have told me to fuck myself, indirectly called me a liar, and called my ideas (and by extension me) sick. Possibly, if I wasn't being generous, you have also called me a pedophile. I, on the other hand, have commited the great sin of not agreeing with you.

Who's comming up on the rosey side of the score card here?

I ask again:

What pedophile has attacked you in this thread?

Point to him.

Hell, give a post number.

I'm waiting.

For those not familiar with the Charge of the Light Brigade, the real event that the poem was based upon, they were following foolish orders, entered combat with no chance of winning whatsoever, and were slaughtered to a man.

My education in psychology showed very clearly that there are ways of spotting criminal behavior before the crime s commited. Until they commit it, the law can do nothing. But as a community it is our responsibility not to provide them with playgrounds to congregate and trade ideas on how to better get past the written laws.

bella isn't capable of really hearing what anyone has to say unless she's absolutely certain they agree with her on every point, so my thoughts here are directed at those who may still be hovering on the fence.

There are without a doubt real children sneaking into this adult game and since children are trying to BE adults they're not too likely to be dressing as babies. Its the real children playing at being adults in an adult environment we should be more concerned with as it's an actual problem with an actual solution.

There are without a doubt real predators in SL too just as there are in RL and any other virtual world... they exist everywhere. The problem is, they hide. They're not the ones out there displaying themselves for all to see, they're the ones lurking in the shadows where we can't see them. So while we're all blowing steam out of our ears throwing fits over playacting that upsets us, they're busily targetting that 12 yr old on the dance pole pretending to be 20.

Focus on the problem that has an actual solution. Stop looking for pretend crimes and keep your eyes peeled for the real ones. Pay attention to that stripper you know who speaks and acts a little too immaturely. Keep an eye on that guy next to you who seems awfully fond of her. And when the day comes one of them slips, call a linden, report a real crime and watch something be done about it..... Then you've accomplished something.

Or her.

It may be less likely but please do not just assume.

Which is a topic I would agree with.

It is not, however, the topic you have been crusading to date.

I'm old-fashioned. I use "he" as a gender neutral pronoun when nothing else is known.

Although, Bella has said that anyone who disagrees with her cannot be a woman, so...

You're quite welcome. I'll AR you every time you post graphically offensive material, or attack anyone, from here on out, too.

I've stated clearly my position. You state yours clearly and then let's address thet differences.

do you think it is okay for adults to pretend to rape children inside SL?

I am, and I defend anyone's right to fantasize about whatever they want. Fantasy does not equal action. If you harm no one else, its none of my goddamn business what you do, be it in your head, the privacy of your own home, or with a consenting adult partner. Period.

Quit speaking for others, quit putting words in other people's mouths, and quit making this all about yourself and what happened to you. Take responsibility for your own life, get some help, and quit projecting your unsolved issues onto others. In the end, you're responsible for yourself and how you deal with what happens to you.

Do you really imagine that anyone who thinks a thing will actually commit it? I thought about strangling my boss today. Maybe you should lock me up — just in case.

People might fantasize about doing any number of things that, if carried out, would be against the law. That is not license to persecute them before the fact. And how, by the way, do you know that there is any sort of conspiring going on?

Again, if you really want to protect kids, then protect KIDS, not pixels. Check out perverted-justice.com for example. You'll find people there that do more than look at cartoons.

I do so love a happy ending.

Define "okay"?

If it's done in private, and all parties are consenting adults, I don't think it's anyone elses buisness, if that's what you mean.

Would I want to see it, be around it, or know anyone who practiced it? Absolutely not.

Your post almost made me feel like someone actually gives a shit about this topic except for the wholesale discredit of me and my first hand experience with these people who "seems awfully fond of her."
