Still not gettin' ya, Willow.

I pay real money into the organization that helps to pay for a real sim, running on a real CPU, contained in a real metal box. (Although I suspect California itself is imaginary.)

I'm not simply having fun at your expense, here - I'm pointing out a similar thing as I did to another some few days ago; the fact that the underlying "reality" of SL is silicon, iron oxide, and electricity does not render it nonexistent - quite the opposite!

No matter how many layers between the people communicating, real people are involved, and that's all the existence you need. It would be entirely accurate to say Neualtenburg does not physically exist save as electrical impulses, but not to say it doesn't exist at all... and it certainly matters to real, existent people. It's all the reality you need.


You're in leage with the U.S. postal service aren't you. They too have this crazy idea that they exist in real life. Yeah, like that will ever happen.:rolleyes:

P.S. If you don't include phrases like, in real life, in your letters; you are only deluding yourself. Everything in those letters is postal life. There is a difference between postal life and real life. The difference is that the postal service is a game. Everyone knows that. Look at all the pretty stamps, and they taste so good too.

I got a question. Just now you used the forum area you're controlling to call me a griefer and a bunch of other names, then when I asked you why, you deleted my post.

Does that make you feel big? Cause I think you're very small.


That's what happened to me as well. I think it's a matter of control. Some require being in total control over others in order to be happy. I guess the nice thing to do is to feed the need to control. Let her feel superior, because that is what makes her happy. Bow to the power.

On IRC we had people request OP status, and usually those people abused their power over others. We found it better to select OPs from the regular users based on how they treated others. Anyone seeking the position was denied because seeking power over others was nearly always followed by power abuse.

If I remember correctly, she wanted to pass a Users "Bill of Rights" that would spell out forum decorum, and allow people like her to close threads and delete posts. It's a good thing it wasn't accepted, as we can see how freedom of opinion is treated in the forum she controls.

Hey, my answer is every bit as official as hers, but with extra me-ness.

Hmmm. This just might be because both of you decided to post in Neualtenburg's discussion forums simply to stir up problems. That is what is known as forum griefing.

In both cases you were asked politely to leave or contribute constructively by many members of our community -- and when you didn't, your posts were deleted for being the disruptive elements they were intended to be.

Frankly, I view the continued discussion of this matter to be nothing more than continued harassment of Neualtenburg and its citizens.

It must be frustrating not to be able to control all forums.

Not at all. Interesting case of projection you have though.

Clearly it is frustrating for you not to control public school education.

No. I think Ulrika abandoned her thread, so I'll answer it.

After Jesse and Meowth steal all of James's spare hamburgers, he returns to his sole remaining burger to find Wobbuffet eating it. James looks forlorn and says, "Et tu, Wobbuffet?"
