Hold on there Pen. You might want to reconsider. At some point you might want to be able to jump down people's throats for a perceived misogynistic remark if you feel the argument isn't going your way. (Not that I have ever seen you do this, but it has happened)  It can come in handy! _____________________

What's "condesension" mean? ~Ulrika~ You must have a really low intellect, Ulrika - less even than a spellchecker on a computer, if you don't know what the word means. coco _____________________

Who said that's what I was doing? I just like the quote is all. I know that's what you're doing. So do you. coco _____________________

Is it necessary to insult her back with a personal attack on her intelligence? _____________________

I know i said i wasnt going to respond but i feel i must. Yes Sincere and i are new, but there is no way i will get chased away by a few people who want to attack me because they cannot act like mature human beings. I guarantee they will be banned before i leave.

P.S. They may not know how to use a contraction, Cristiano. But that doesn't detract from their right to post their opinions and have them treated with respect. You may not know how to change a spark plug (I certainly don't), but that doesn't give the mechanic the right to belittle you for it, or deny you your right to drive. Their right to call someone a dumbass? You are actually now sticking up for this? _____________________

Yes, I know that motivates her, Cristiano. That's why I don't take any of this too personally. Nonetheless, it's harmful. I am not insulting her back on her intelligence, and you should know that. coco _____________________

No. I will report someone who quotes another player in order to humiliate them for their punctuation. coco Good luck, I tried in vain to get a quote of mine that had been altered to change the meaning removed by reporting it. I finally had to appeal to the person to get them to remove it. _____________________

Their right to call someone a dumbass? You are actually now sticking up for this? They didn't call anyone a dumbass, Cristiano, as I pointed out earlier. Only if they were thoroughly immersed in the logical distinction you pointed out (which took me a while to figure out what you meant), and moreover, accepted such a distinction, could you in any way conclude from that post that they called anyone a dumbass. coco _____________________

I know i said i wasnt going to respond but i feel i must. Yes Sincere and i are new, but there is no way i will get chased away by a few people who want to attack me because they cannot act like mature human beings. I guarantee they will be banned before i leave. I love a warm dish of irony in the afternoon. Please scroll back a page or two before you 'left' the thread and rethink your last statement. Oh and welcome to Secondlife. _____________________

Put on your thick skin and don't be afraid to have some fun. I'll even hlep you out with one.  ~Ulrika~ _____________________

Relax coco. I think aside from the occasional person popping in to drop an insult or nasty comment, most folks here at the end of this thread are just enjoying themselves. Have fun. ~Ulrika~ I'm having fun, too, Ulrika! Kinda pathetic to say, but true, lol. One reason I'm indulging instead of working is this is a three-day weekend for my kid, and maybe my husband, too, so I'm playing while the cats are still away. coco _____________________

I've moved away from those in all but the tightest spots. Now I typically just vanish from a thread or start posting nonsense. ~Ulrika~ But you do that in every thread. Oh. Nevermind.  _____________________

No one is getting banned for anything that's been said in this thread. Trust me. As a tip for you, the end of threads such as this are like riding the rapids. It's fun but it can be dangerous. Put on your thick skin and don't be afraid to have some fun. I'll even hlep you out with one. ~Ulrika~ I am not going to report any one but there is a good 11 pages of personal attacks against myself. I thought these forums would be a good place to learn about SL but i guess i am wrong. Its basically just childish jabber and taunting. If this is what you enjoy i am not anyone to say a thing about it. Have fun insulting. |

Srry how about this subject lol
Anti-Intellectual Lobbying -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems like most progressive causes in SL (Bill of Rights, player-run moderation, reformation of land auctions, binding democratic votes) are opposed not by the Lindens or by special interest groups (land barons, forum junkies) that might suffer from the changes but by a crowd of anti-intellectuals, who irrationally resist change. Much like scientific education in the U.S. is hobbled by those who push for the teaching of irrational theories like "intelligent design", is SL's growth being slowed by a similar group of anti-intellectuals? ~Ulrika~ |

You must have a really low intellect, Ulrika - less even than a spellchecker on a computer, if you don't know what the word means. coco I don't know what the word "condesension" means. I would either have to ask or look it up. I'm not saying Ulrika does or does not know the actual meaning, but your statement here was pretty insulting to someone like me (though I'm not going to take insult to it). I have a limited vocabulary. Though I do not feel in any way that I am dumb or have a low intellect.  _____________________
