Should LL employees enable griefers?

if I was 'digging', it would have been something juicy. and I did use a smiley. Classic mis-interpretation. You stated what you thought my reasons were, I wanted to expand and clarify, because it's much more than your once sentence. not your blog either

Photos and chatlogs and you say no evidence. some people are just determined to overlook even the most obvious evidence.

Like the OJ trial and the DNA, blood evidence at both locations.

Photos that don't show any Lindens misbehaving.

Chatlogs that don't show any Lindens misbehaving.

You've shown evidence that

(a) someone vandalized Linden Lab's front door.
(b) Rodney Linden visited Prok's sim
(c) Rodney Linden behaved like a gentleman despite being abused

Where's the evidence of a "bad cop"?

*comes back after being out all day and peers* Yep, this is a thread worthy of Prok.

Look, really... does all this matter? Does it? Or are we just going to tear at each other over the defense of one person who actually, believe it or not, defend her/himself, even if it's not here?

This thread isn't even really about Prok anymore, either. It's all about personal attacks and such... I'm tossing in the towel on this one.

I asked for pictures more-or-less tongue-in-cheek (presuming I had a cheek), but really, where are the pictures that prove what you say? Where are the chat logs backing up what you claim? What you have presented thus far proves nothing of what you said.

At best, you're just a bad journalist, looking to sensationalize something that didn't happen. It might be fine for the National Enquirer, but most intelligent people don't put a lot of stock in it.

Yes
It was suppose to be about Linden Lab employees inadvertently enabling griefers. Friendships over professionalism. Abuse of power and personal feelings over maturity.

I'm sorry, how could that possibly be considered libel? It's verifiable fact.

But with a complete absence of evidence that any such thing occurred.

Agreed, generally. But were you to say of a rape victim "She was asking for it," I'd say you were blaming the victim too.

Even the owner of Linden Lab was not obtuse enough to claim it did not happen. He knows better.

WHERE THE HELL IS THE LOCK??????

Look, we've had 283 . . . no, wait, 284 posts on this, and we are not, so far as I can see, any further along than we were when we started. And the reason for THAT is that we are still arguing over the same basic, flawed, incomplete documentary evidence.

I think that there is probably something about this whole affair that stinks. I am mildly alarmed at what MAY be a sort of culture of bullying developing in certain parts of LL.

BUT the evidence is at best suggestive. There just isn't enough to go on here. Maybe more will appear, but right now, a resolution to this simply isn't possible.

And in the ABSENCE of real evidence, we are instead defaming people (and I am not JUST talking about Prok), blaming them for their own victimization, and getting mighty nasty with each other.

I am personally declaring this thread closed. There. NO MORE POSTING, PEOPLE! I won't allow it. Stop it. NOW.

You heard me!

What she said!!!!

Immy asked for a lock this week and got it. Let Immy ask!

You just got Pep all hot.

There's some irony here.

He gets hot and we get bothered.

Sssshhhhhhh !!!!

SSSSHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Absence of evidence goes both ways. I have no proof no Linden was involved, either. I haven't said that it didn't happen. I have said that you have no evidence that it did. You STILL have no evidence that it did.

Just like you have no evidence of any of the other incidents you've tried to stir up here.

*giggles inappropriately*

(pretend Argent's post came after mine)

If I were a moderator, I would feel I couldn't lock this thread, lest it seem (or BE) that LL was suppressing a legitimate whistleblower.

I COULD enter the thread and discourage to discourage the many uncool things going on.

I think when several residences are asking for a lock it would not seem unduly drastic to lock it. I will chime in requesting a lock. I do not think this thread is beneficial to anyone and believe it is actually trolling and detrimental.

Yes, I suppose I can see that . . .

Well, in the absence of "higher authority," we'll just have to prove that we can act in a civil and adult manner ourselves.

OKAY! HEADS DOWN ON DESKS EVERYONE!!!!

/me glares at Melita and Argent.

That seems rather vague at this point. It seems as though some events that occurred in San Francisco in front of the LL building are being conflated with some in-world encounters--'evidence' from in-world is being cited as 'evidence' of the San Francisco event in some ambiguous fashion.




I don't disagree at all with that. But if the allegation is that having a Linden standing by (allegedly) as people wrote hostile graffiti led to those people or other people feeling that in-world harassment of a resident had the Linden Seal of Approval, then intent might not matter.

Again, it all does seem rather tenuous. (Still, that doesn't render the underlying issues moot or unworthy of discussion.)

*head down on desk, points to Ponsonby*

SHE DID IT!!!!

*throws a paper airplane for good measure*
