You made this poll cause you didnt like the other, I think thats funny


I made this poll becuase the data in the other Poll was useless. It was being used to read things into peoples votes that were not there, by yourself and others.

Dont blame me becuase you editorialized your poll, which contained data of debatable value.

You said people's actions mattered more than their opinions and that the majority dont want sex in SL.

Well .. I asked the actual Question. Simple as that.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker

This poll isnt small, I was calling the pollster small, this poll in just inconceivably moronic as we all know sex in SL shouldnt be banned, and that wasn't the question that was being asked in other polls


Making a poll to get actual clear data on the topic - where your poll you and others were editorializing the results of ambigious data - isnt small. Its just clarification. Unsubstantiated claims were made on unclear data from the poll you designed.

You are right that wasnt the question in the other poll - However you and others were incorrectly Inferring that the majority was fine with banning sex based on the data in your POLL.

Therefore the question was begging to be asked - to refute your skewing your own results to support your opionions.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker

Nothing interesting about the question or the results of this poll, again very small minded


I find it interesting, even if you dont that supposedly the majority, according to you, doesnt engage in Pixel sex, however, apherently very few want to see it banned.




Some outragous claims made in the other thread:

From: Jackson Rickenbacker
Obvioiusly peoples individual actions more represent thier feelings on a matter than thier opinion on what they feel is offensive


Basically claiming if people dont engage in Pixel sex they feel its offensive. Pure Speculation, based on nothing.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker
actions where since that is most relevant to what people really think as opposed to what thier opinion is, as opinions tend to be more leveled than a persons true actions.

As it sits right now the "majority" doesnt engage in SL sex. Therefore, I think its a good sign that is the true feelings of the "community"


You poll data never supported this claim. And your poll never asked what peopels feelings were, just how often (in vague terms) they had pixel sex.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker
No. actually the "rarely have SL Sex" is mostlikey composed of the "I tried it once" crowd and dont think they should be counted in with the SL sex addict crowd.


This assertion was never supported by any data in your Poll - it was pure speculation , unless you are somehow psychic.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker
The poll is meant to show how many people feel sex is a important part of SL and how many don, as it is , right now the overwhelming majority dont consider sex a important part of SL. And I tend to think LL feels the same too, so in this one aspect and poll, LL feelings and the majorities feelings are close to alignment...


Again this statement was made based on speculation of data that didnt support it. When I asked DIRECTLY Peoples opinion about banning pixel sex, it completely disagrees with your claim.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker
I think the results look like this, more people have never tried SL sex(33%) as opposed to how manyconsider themselves SL sex Addicts(7%)

There is more people who frequently(35.41%) have SL sex as opposed to rarely have SL sex(24.59%)

If you where to take the folks that aere SL sex addicts and the ones that have frequent SL sex your percentage is 42.43% as opposed to those who have never had SL sex or have rarely had SL sex 57.56%

In conclusion with the sampling of the poll after 1 day , it seems that by a small margin sexual activity in SL is not as prevailant as the multiple threads on the subject would indicate


Complete unsupported by availble data from your poll or any other poll - its just editorializing using bad data to try to bolster your opinion.

From: Jackson Rickenbacker
Its really hopeless isnt it?, theres more people who don't considering sex a driving factor in SL than do. and thats the bottom line so far with the results as the forum sample shows.

Quite honestly if you spend your time having sex frequently or all the time, your really missing out on the most unique and interesting features of SL, commerce and profit. Long after the sex is gone, and beleive me it is going. there will still be commerce and profits, and hardly a single business outside of the sex market is going to miss those who leave Phil R. said himself he didnt intend on having a sexcapade world where anything goes, his vision is a new kind of business platform. So instead of living out your wildest gay fantasies, learn a SL trade and start being a part of the better community LL is talking about.. if not, GTFO. And thats what the real message in the blog post is


Your results never showed anything of the sort. You decided they did. There is evidence to refute your interpretation of the results.

Additionally You state SL is going , however its quite possible a large majority dont think it should be banned. Certainly a majority of Forums Poll Voters dont think it should be banned.

----------------

To sum up - you made a Poll , Asked one thing , gave response choices on another thing, then made up the definitions on those responses after the fact.

You claim it was unintentional - but the end result is you skewed your poll data to support your editorial opinion.

I felt that needed refuting.

Thus this poll.

Come on now, thats like asking me to prove the world is round. Im not going to entertain that
wrong again Jason. it's really very simple.

1) YOU presented a piece of information as fact. Not theory or speculation. FACT.
2) I did not.

I just asked you to tell me where you obtained this knowledge.

are you now saying your fact wasn't a fact at all, but speculation?

if so, you should probably say so, instead of resorting to diversion.

If there was actually a decent amount of PG land available, many of us would. The simple problem is that LL have promoted the adult side, which is why there is a disproportionate amount of mature regions around the grid. We would have bought land on a PG sim if there had been any, now after a year or more we're too settled to just uproot and move to a PG sim.


Broccoli


Hey I don't know where you're hanging out, but you're making it sound like SL is just one giant f*ck fest... I can explore for HOURS without seeing avatars doing the nasty. I see adverts every now and then (we do in RL too!) but on the whole, I'd say that SL is basically pretty easy going. If you want sex here, you have to look for it.

If you agree with the type of sex your neighbor is having or not, The appeal of Second Life to me and many others is the fact that we have so much freedom because its an adult game. When you slowly start taking away all of our rights, It's not good for any of us. If this keeps up we will end up with The Sims Online.

I would think the burden of proof would be yours to prove Philip DID create SL to be a Sexcapade Universe


http://pc.gamezone.com/news/06_21_03_12_57AM.htm
from 2003 an interview with
Cory Ondrejka, Vice President of Product Development

Are any romantic themes promoted in Second Life? Can players date others within the game, and eventually get married?


CO: While we've promoted bringing people together for amicable interaction in Second Life, we have stayed away from making it seem like a dating service. To be consistent with Second Life's open-ended experience, we wanted to leave it up to residents to choose how and with whom they socialize


**LEAVE IT UP TO RESIDENTS** what happened to that?

Simple your bedroom in SL isnt YOURS, its LL servers, and LL didnt intend on making a Sexapade universe.
LL blog post was about violent sex acts and simulated rape I beleive. But much like people do on the forums with everyone elses post here, people try and pick apart word for word and try to argue the meaning of individual words rather than admit they understand what the entire group of words mean. I dunno maybe arguingn the smallest details and failing to see the biger picture makes some feel like they are smarter than others, even though they fail to recognize the message in its entirety


Oh I disagree. I think LL wanted a "Sexapade Universe" Why? Because Sex Sells?
Do you really think Philip Rosedale was looking at his monitor and saying OMG these people are spending millions in game on sex! Buying land to build sex clubs, Buying Lindens to purchase sex toys and sexual services. I am sure Philip has been crying all the way to the bank.

Now Philip pleads mea culpa and throws down the law after exploiting the whole sex thing to build Second Life. I don't buy it. I may of been born at night but it wasn't last night.

but to someone that may be having what is normal sex to them may be to violent to someone else that is the main issue i see

because i wear a collar and CHOSE to wear a collar and be treated as a slave by my master is no one elses business we do nothing in public other than maybe what we call eachother but because someone might find it offensive we could be banned we are both consenting adults and i feel sl is going way overboard , do the age verification thing and let us adults be adults

Never once did I say anything about thinking it should be banned. As a matter of fact I spoke my stance on SL sex and you read it, you are clearing inserting your own words in my name to substanciate your editorial
From: Colette Meiji

Again you say im supporting my opinion eluding I think sex in SL should be banned when infact I beleive jsut the opposite. Again using your words in my name to support your editorial

Even if i did, and thats your opinion, who made you judge. jury and executioner responsible for carrying out your verdict on me?

Sadly you numerously used your own words in my name on many areas, what would the purpose be?

Sorry Chris, I wont entertain it, I have read thousands of articles on Philip Rosedale and Second Life, only a OC would save every little link for proving statements at later times, if you or anyone else would read just a fractions of the interviews you wouldnt be demanding me to prove my statement, maybe you should read a little more and understand a little more about the company


To say that LL created SL to be a virtual sexcapade universe is just perposterous and if you think not, then I sugesst you post a new thread making that statement and see what responses you get lol

No, I very clearly here and in the other thread pointed to where you said the things I objected to.

Im not judging anything - Im simply stating my opinion of what you did, backed up with reasonable expectations.

I DO personally find it interesting how this poll differs from yours. I make no claims it speaks for the SL residents who are not forum Poll voters. I make no inferences as to the motivations behind their votes.

I simply can let the data speak for itself.

I never voiced an opinion one way or the other on the motives of Mr. Rosedale. I am just a dumb country boy. But where I come from, we have a simple saying "Put up or shut up". If you can't or (in your case) won't back up what you say, then you have no credibility.

Im growing tired of defending myself, no wonder Linden Labs has shut down nearly all forums of communication. Because of this mentallity of debate and argument. then the very same posters that debate every little thing said, are the very ones that are so vocal about LL sghutting down differnt forum sections.


Im not asking for your approval, since your approval means absolutely nothing to me nor does your opinion, or your petty squabbling. nough said?

Now this is interesting.

Is it possible SL wants to clean up now that its famous?

And bury the whole sexploitation thing under the virtual rug.
