I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to David Cartier for my earlier post.

I recently suffered attacks from griefers who wanted my land, so they surrounded it with giant walls (with offensive pictures for textures) on three sides and lots of particle effects, along with other lag-inducing goodies. Repeated attempts at communication didn't work, I grew tired of it, and sold the land :(
Needless to say, I'm still quite bitter about this turn of events.
So I come here and see this drama, someone in a situation that sounds similar to the one I experienced, and I got pissed.
I don't think I was even mad at you David, I was mad at the people who did to me what this other gentleman is claiming you did to him.
I've never met anyone involved in this situation, but I jumped to a conclusion at a speed that, in hindsight, astounds even me.
Wether or not you even noticed my post is irrelevant, because it's there, contributing to the mob. So I'm sorry Mr. Cartier, for contributing to the collective effort to drag your name through the mud.
I don't know if you did what you're accused of, or if you did, why, but it's none of my business. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

From: Paolo Portocarrero
Having been the recent subject of a series of in-world ad hominem attacks, I am more than a bit disappointed that the majority of respondents appear to take sides with David Valentino without hesitation or investigation. I have no insider information regarding David Cartier's intentions. However, I offer this admonition: Be sure of your facts before taking sides or making accusations. As a general courtesy, if you have not already done so, contact the individual privately before bringing him before the forum tribunal.

Point to ponder (see esp. "Everyday Example";):

Perhaps because some of them have went and looked for themselves Paolo. I suggest you do so. Then come back and post here if you think it was just an innocent mistake or unintentional. By all means, if anyone has any doubts, please don't take my word for it. Ask around. Take a look. David in his previous comments suggested, or stated, that I did something underhanded in getting that land in Dore. That's just not true. He also acts innocent, when he was the one that raisesd the fuss and threw the fit. It's not just me that knows this. Even the Lindens investigated and sided with me, and even then i was not invited back into the Landowners group. Which is fine. But what was has beendone to obscure my build was intentional and childish..make no mistake about that.

Naming names is not against the community standards; personal attacks and name-calling are.

However, please keep in mind that this is a public forum meant for discussion, not private conversations. Since this thread has devolved into a private conversation between David and David, this thread will be locked. Please find another venue to continue your conversation.
Thanks.
