Im not trying to troll or flame. I dont have a stake in it either way. I am just offering my point of view based on the guidelines we are supposed to abide by. Take it or leave it. I mean no ill will at all.

Charlotte - don't respond - it's not worth being banned over - (and we need to remember that the moderators are from the same culture). What culture would that be? _____________________

This post got me to click on the "find other posts by Charlotte Gillespie" in your profile. This post in itself is a violation of the Basic Forum Policies and Etiquette found in the Forum Guidelines. A lot, not a few, a lot, of your other posts qualify as violations as well. I assume that your ban is a result of of numerous examples, not a single instance. A ban should be a heads up, because you could face a permanant ban from all of Second Life. Im not trying to be a smartass or anything, but you asked why, and this is my opinion. You should look over the forum guidelines and decide if its worth your time being here in the forums on your current path and risk not being here or in SL at all. You have too much time on your hands. May I suggest getting a job where you don't have the internet? |

You have too much time on your hands. May I suggest getting a job where you don't have the internet? To be fair, Lotte, unless you are baiting Loki, he simply answered your original question that you posed to the public forum. At least he took the time to respond to your post directly! What, you really weren't expecting that someone would remember or look up the stuff you've posted? ![]() He's right. It's the same reason I get warned or suspended every once in a while, too. They just let a number of offences mount up and then give you a blanket warning about them. And you ARE intolerant - in the same way as I am, and your posts are often out of line in the same way as mine are. Only real difference is that I reserve 'cunt' for the special few. So stop whining, ya racist Brit bitch! ![]() |

If everyone followed the same line, all the time, these forums would be very harmonious. But after a week or two of "Haha, look at this funny screenshot / webpage", or "Here's an in-joke you'll get if you joined in November 1996!" most members would lose the will to live. I refer users to my location field. After Sikh playwright Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti had her play in Birmingham pulled because of protests from other Sikhs, she said: "Perhaps those who are affronted by the menace of dialogue and discussion need to be offended." |

dumpster = receptacle
the aforementioned term defines women as receptacles of the aforementioned substance. It roughly equates women as nothing more than trash cans for a man's load. Anyway, I'm not surprised that Charlotte got a letter. _____________________

Yeah, Charlotte, but remember, people from 'minority groups' - or even majority groups - will use that to cry foul to highlight your imagined intolerance against them. Because people are assholes like that. Ya know, like Nolan saying I'm racist for making fun of random americans, when in fact, and like you, I dont give a second thought what little groups people huddle into so that they can accuse you of intolerence towards 'their people', and I will make fun of anyone who's being a twat regardless. (surely its racist or intolerant to discriminate even positively about someone tho?! 'I better not pick on him, he's from Pakistan/he's disabled/he's a gay quilter'). Same deal; you're a brit. You call an american a cunt and you're being an intolerant racist, right? Geddit now? ![]() The expression; "Ah look, another 'merkin who doesn't <blah, blah, blah..> Is singling out a nationality. Therefore, it is nationalistic, and therefore it falls under the CS/TOS definition of intolerance. If you had pointed out the thread starter's race, then it would have been racism. Do a little research on ethnocentrism and it's subsets, and please, for fuck's sake, quit saying I called you racist. I said that you two probably would've found a way to turn it into an American bashing event regardless. That is not calling you racist. Given the atmosphere at that time of several Brits bad mouthing the US and/or its's inhabitants I don't think I was far off. It seemed as though you were looking for an excuse to cock off. The fact that no one replied to Charlotte's thread about a London SL meeting seems to back this up. You weren't probably interested in attending a US SL meeting if you don't even respond to one for Brits. The purpose of that thread that you got all wound up over was to gain some knowledge of what area of the US would be most likely suited for a SL convention here in the US. If non-US reidents choose to travel to attend, that would be great, but not asking for their location is hardly reason to imply that someone is "another stupid American", unless one has a predilection for prejudice against Americans. Let me ask you, if SL were based in England, and several Americans made it their business to interject snide little comments about Brits here and there, would you just sit there quietly at your keyboard? Given your outspoken nature I doubt you would sit idly by while people took pot shots at your nationality. Edit: Charlotte, please quit trying to find a scapegoat for your suspension. If you can't take the consequences earned by your repeated negative discharges, that is not my fault. You want to bitch about a perceived lack of community, then you draw lines between yourselves and other nationalities. You also apparently think you should be able to call anyone whatever derogatory word rolls off your tongue, and you're pissed off at what your neighbors build; then lament a lack of community? Did I miss any? Oh yeah, pissed off at clubbers, pissed off at Valentine's... I truly envy and admire your community spirit! _____________________

Radical *taking it back* of language
03-02-2005 17:09
hehe YES! I have long thought that we should similarly take back the word pussy. Imagine if we used it as a term of congratulation or respect! Like if your coworker gives you help on a project you might say *wow, Joe, thanks for being such a pussy!* Or at sporting events: your favourite team scores and you leap up to scream, along with the masses, pussyyyyyy!!!! hehe. I want it to be so! and, hey, i'd be happy to be a Cow. erm, in this instance anyway. ~ Perse
I think its HIGH TIME the word CUNT gets the liberation it deserves!!! I am proud to be a cunt and hope that others will rise up and stomp on those who don't like the word. heh heh heh... COW = new SL group "Cunts of the World" - if you call someone a cunt in the future... it will be a sign of respect. Join now.. if enough respond... hell I may actually start this group.[/QUOTE] _____________________
