Jeska can I call these folks out by name and cus at them too? Or will I be singled out banned from the fourms and then banned from the game? I realy want to know why these folks are allowed to continue to break the fourm rules. More so can I too? Cus right now I would realy like to tell a few of these ppl somethings that will make their hair stand on end.

Oh Coco sweetie, please stop. I'm now able to see you're not Prok, but you are getting a bit Proky, don't you think ? Just keep being nice and everyone will come round. That doesn't just apply to you. I personally tend to post like a pontificating prick quite often, but people forgive me, see - and I'm grateful.

We can stop all this two ways. We all stop taking offence, or we all stop being insulting. Either will work on its own if we could stick to it. Lack of one would wither the other. The "being insulting" one ain't working. What say we try the "taking offence" one? Might be easier. Kill one, watch the other slowly die. That'd do it.

I love you Coco, I admire your intelligence and your command of words. I bet you have a LOVELY ass. See - how is that for a turnaround ? And it really ain't irony. Do you like me, just a teeny bit ? Secretly maybe ?

Hope youve not all killed each other by the time I submit this.........


I think this is my favorite post, ever.

Thank you for your input, Jonquille.

I would point out, regarding your original post, that assuming that ANYTHING that ANYONE says on these forums is, has to be, and simply MUST be a vew shared by no one else, is already in error.


First off, I never made that assumption. I stated that if everyone seemed to disagree with you, maybe it just might be you who is wrong, and not everyone else. (That's the collective 'you' that most people use, not the Cocoa 'you' that you always assume it is.) This is a logical thing to do. If I disagree that the world is round, well... maybe there's a reason why so many people disagree. Look at yourself first, before you point the finger at everyone else. You may be surprised.
From: someone

Having six people always get together and talk about what is personally wrong with the (whoever it is) they disagree with, as if the entire world agreed, is awfully annoying.

I don't know who these 6 people are, or where you think they're getting together to discuss people. I've never personally been invited to that conclave, and therefore won't comment on it, as it would be guessing at best, and paranoia at worst.
From: someone

Look at it this way: I posted about the business contracts. Two-thirds of the respondants felt there was no need to open up the process to everyone, but preferred that it be kept to simply the Lindens recommending who they already knew about.

According to those six, twelve, forty or however many people, I was the only one in the world who could possibly hold such a twisted view, and I should have shut up long ago. Nonetheless, a third of respondants agreed with my view. Moreover, the Lindens apparently agreed with it, as they announced the web site we could all send portfolios to if we wished. Could well be they had intended to do this all along, but in any case, they, too, considered it a good - and need I emphasize this? - reasonable - idea.

I was one of those who voted that I wished they had advertised the work and accepted bids or portfolios for it. I even posted to the thread stating exactly that. Had you bothered to check, or remember, you would have seen that. Instead, you jump to the illogical conclusion that my earlier post was written with you in mind, and that it was all about you. Now, why is that?
From: someone

Shutting me up on these unpopular views, which apparently some here think are always and only held by myself alone (judged so, apparently by the six or forty people who hop in to say whatever it was was a terrible idea), would mean you would never really learn how many actually agree, or whether the Lindens might actually agree.

This same process applies to everyone stating any views, however popular they may be. If everyone piped down just because the same six or twenty people asserted their views to be garbage, then where would we be?

As for myself, this forums business can easily eat up a whole day, particularly since when one person says something, another responds, the first person responds back, etc., and there we go, and whole hours of our lives get eaten up. Therefore I'm going to a new plan, whereby I spend only a set portion of my day responding to the forums.

That will take some willpower, but it will be good for me, and for everyone else as well. It is not the same as shutting me up, mind. It's more like when I had game shows every Tuesday and Thursday night in AV. So from now on, I will check and respond to the forums ONLY after I have logged off for the game for the night.

It will kill me! Yes it will! But I will make it happen, and I know everyone else will appreciate it as much as my real life will.

Nowhere in my post did I say anyone should shut up about unpopular views. I didn't even hint at it. In fact, that's what Chip had stated, and my post was stating what people should do instead of that. What I stated is that perhaps people should try to look around every once in a while and figure out why so many, and in some cases everyone, disagrees with them.

You decided to make my post about you and only you. Now, I state again, with your own response as support to my statement, that people should look at themselves before they point the finger at everyone else. If research is too hard, then at the very least go on the assumption that you probably don't warrant as much of peoples' thought processes as you seem to think you do.

You're all mad, by the way, in case it had slipped your notice.
Guess really it should be "we".
And the sun is shining outside, is it ?

You know, the Group of Six. I sent you an invite but you shunned me, so I had to give Pandastrong your spot. He is easily bribed though, and distracted by shiny things and alcohol, so fret not, ma petite chou.

I find it amazing how disagreeing with somebody oft times is construed as an attempt to "run people off the forums" or "silence" them. I guess some can simply brook no dissent without exaggerating for effect.

Had you told me there would be alcohol, I'd have been there with bells on.

Ye who pretend to be the mouth piece of LL yet treat everyone with disrespect I find your behavior contemptible at best.


Pieces ..... pieces of shit.

Didn't know you liked parrots, Catherine? Guess that one was on the shoulder of a sewage worker.

That is Catherine's new technique. To spew Tourette's-like at vaguely named people so she can say she is not making personal attacks at any named person.

Sorry Jeska. I honestly thought Dianne brought up a great discussion and presented it in an open way. The thread was going along well I had thought. A shame some of those who claim to want reform are the very worst when it comes to abiding by their own wishes. :(

Have you broken your spectacles, Jeska ? Or did you really think it was about parrots and I accidentally saved her bacon ?
Only kidding - right decision.
