[edited] & Paedophile Posts?

It wasn't a sarcastic apology, I was suggesting you look at the number of attacts compared to your single approach to "we aren't saying we love child abuse, we are saying you used an avitar's name so you are bad."

My point to you was simply to be clear if you are supporting a person who is being attacked for using an avitar's name during a heated argument regarding something only slightly life changing.

If you are on my side of the issue, don't tell me my breath is bad during the argument... get it?

Wow, you did bite my bait very fast I guess you didn't eve nread the rest of my post.

I have a 10-y-o avatar and I think I'll always have, because it fits my inner self a lot. And I never ever had cybersex (zero interest in it). Yet you're right now openly calling me a pedophile.

Way to win an argument

One of the things I learned when I had my head shrunk was that having been mistreated as a kid doesn't give you license to behave like a jerk for the rest of your life. But keep on trollin' there, sport.

Yet you do, huh?

Actually there have been more than 49 convictions in more than 25 different states for felony solicitation of a minor online and without any acutal meeting.

If it can be shown the solicitation was made to a minor, there does not have to be actual contact or a face to face meeting. Chat logs were used for the convicitons after appropriate investigation and authentication. And it has also been established in these cases that cybersex chat constituted a sexual act and solicitaiton of the minor for a sexual act.

The first step is to report the adult who is demonstrating pedophiliac behavior and then an adult police detective will engage the suspect online. The officer will present himself/herself as a minor in order to see if the suspect solicits the presumed minor for sex. Some call it entrapment, I dont see it that way. The officers testimony and authentication of the chat logs are usually enough to convict for solicitaiton.

Well, I may or may not be the only one who doesn't believe you... I could be wrong... I'm sure a lot of adults love to walk around as children in a sexually charged atmosphere like SL with no sexual interest... no sexual interest... hmmm... and when were you fixed?

Yes... or the Linden's could simply say, "you know what... that's just wrong... delete it."

Why so many arguments to protect this fantasy?

I was spayed last year.

What do you mean, "fixed" ?

And, yes, I'm confident in telling you you are wrong about me

"Fixed," you know, what they call it when they spay or neuter a cat. I don't think "fixed" is really the word for it, though. My cat functioned perfectly well before she was "fixed," except for the yowling. But you know, I yowled kinda like that too when I had PMS!

I'm sorry... I realize that some people reading have a tough time with words. I was referring to your genitalia and whether or not it functioned correctly. Most of us adults have a sex drive that carries through most aspects of our lives. Even while driving home from work we tend to think up sexual situations or at least while we sit along at a computer for an hour... my suggestion/assumption was that if you are logging onto SL as a 10-year-old girl with even 1/100th of the sexual content being presented to me in the scope of one hour, you are either a neuter or a perv not to have any sexual thoughts during that time... I'm sure you're just a neuter.

This thread is being locked for Linden Review.

bella, I apologize for not giving you a warmer welcome to the SL Forums--I see that it's only recently you started posting here.

The SL Forums have Guidelines to be adhered to. This thread will remain locked. As searches will turn up, not just with this topic but several others (e.g. feuds between inworld families, business disputes), "naming names" is not allowed regardless of what the subject of discussion is. Which is why I last posted:
Related to that, I like to make myself available for communication. You can IM me.

I'll also edit my name out from the topic title--it feels strange to do so but it's consistent with the Guidelines.

Regarding the very serious topic of actual children here, the Main Grid of Second Life is for those 18 years and older. Should you find someone who admits they are underage (a hunch isn't enough), please don't hesitate to go to HELP menu ---> REPORT ABUSE with the INCLUDE CHAT HISTORY checkbox ticked, and also, let a Linden Liaison know ASAP. There should be NO minors on the Main Grid.

There is, however, a Teen Grid for those who are 13-17 years old--Teen Second Life. Blue Linden is the Community Manager of it and he welcomes any questions or concerns you may have.

And for those even younger than 13 years old who should not be on either grid, Linden Lab and Second Life complies with COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

Should there be solid evidence of "real-life" illegal activity found, contact your local authorities with the proof, ask them to get in touch with us. It's in the best interests of all involved.
