More Freedom In Rl Than Sl

I'm AFK...away from keyboard. I even have a thought bubble graphic above my AV's head that says AFK in big letters.

I'm racist becuase I ignored you? Holy cow you guys are impossible.

this post has a tone that would generally be called smug.

The "Cant wait to see you .." would be the childish part. Since I obviously said that I was included.

The part where you claim to have understood me - when instead you lumped my opinions in with everyone else's on the same side of the debate - would be condescending part.

The claim I agreed with you when I didnt and I got defensive - would be the pompus part.

and finally the "Friendly" conclusion -would be the patronizing part.


to sum up this is a great post to explain why I dont get along with you

You come across to me in many of your posts as a smug, childish, condescending, pompus and patronizing (you can fill in the noun at the end)


-------------------------
And I predict you will use my post to accuse me of all the same

Becuase you seem to love the "I know you are but what am I?" stuff.

I'm glad SOMEONE is on my side. I was beginning to think I was completely alone. Thanks for the support. I completely agree with you by the way.

I respect everyone's right to their own opinions, as long as they respect mine. I don't know you, and you may be a perfectly lovely person but, whether intentional or not, your arguments have a tendency to take on a hostile tone and you've also been known to resort to name calling, to which I do object. That's the extent of any 'issue' there may be between us. *shrug*




My shyness makes me unwilling to try voice as well, but I don't see that automatically making me 'unreasonable.' And, last time I checked, we all denounce things we don't like as much as we're able. I've seen Colette make some smart ass remarks, but it almost sounds as though you're accusing her of deliberate cruelty towards her fellow posters and THAT, I have not seen. Now, it may be that my opinions lie closer to Colette's than yours, but your posts usually come across as more close minded to me. *shrug*

Oh, and can you define 'properly debate'? Are you looking for a time clock, set rules, mediators? Because, personally, I generally find a lot of merit in the majority of Colette's arguments, whether I agree with them or not.

Slope is a racist term to many Asians.

It's also another term for an "incline" or "hill".

/me shakes his head...

I think this goes against your more recent post of...



Am I wrong?

I know that, just pointing out how it can be considered racist, not in the context he was using it. But it was the only thing that he said Nina could call him racist over.

This has gone too far. You all need to just disperse. Nothing is being accomplished here.

Thank you for clarifying for me.

Let me further clarify for those that are "unaware" of the meaning of Slipper Slope.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

yes you are wrong - becuase Squeeze and I are arguing.

Its beyond just stating opinions at that point.

I thought you were a writer.

Add some good surnames to my surname list if you have a minute.

IBTL..

*You all have a nice weekend.*

It's not a blurry connection, it's quite clear and specific. And it is not far from the point, it IS the point.

Follow the logic.

1. The primary drive for every living thing is to survive and perpetuate itself. Species that fail to follow this rule become extinct.

2. Man is a living creature. Therefore, the drive to survive and perpetuate ourselves is the most basic part of our nature. Everything else...from wars to morals to poetry to the washcloth on your towel rack...is secondary and can be traced back in one way or another to this one basic characteristic.

3. Anyone who ignores the above facts is going down an evolutionary dead end. (Seen any Shakers lately?) Any MMOG that ignores such a basic part of human nature will, similarly, be supplanted by others that do.

Or, if that line of reasoning is too abstract for you, let's just consider this one:

1. The SL sim owner decides whether his land will be PG or Mature rated.

2. The vast majority of sims in SL are rated Mature

3. The reason for that is because a lot more people want to be able to engage in activities that are unsuited for the limitations of PG sims, and the sim owners realize this.

4. As a first approximation, I estimate that if those activities are banned, the grid will diminish to the current crop of PG sims.

Disneyland is a great place to take the kids. I don't want to live there.

its like the butterfly effect. so are you reading the posts in reverse order or something?

No it doesn't...and if she was to say "I just don't like it because (insert personal reason)" then it would have been fine. Instead it was "there will be discrimination against typers by voice people and it will cause a class war". That's a little far reaching to me.




I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't. If I don't like it I say why and leave it at that. The term "denounce" isn't just to say "it's not for me" but to say "this is bad all around". The Catholic Church denounces contraception. They say it's "wrong and bad" not "we're just not into that sort of thing". Huge difference!



When did I ever say cruelty? You can be closed-minded and elitist without being cruel to someone. I don't get what you're trying to say there...



That's because your opinions lie closer to Colette's than mine.



Proper debate is raising a point or giving opinion, the other raising their point or opinion, then discussion on why each party thinks what they do and/or giving their point of view on why they might think the other's is incorrect or incomplete...all the while staying on subject (which this thread is totally not doing).



That's because your opinions lie closer to Colette's...and there's nothing wrong with that!

you got squeeze sussed in full.

This post is a better way of saying what I was trying to say then I what posted -

My opinion is the number one activity in Second Life is Playing House - Sex is part of that - and most industries cater to that. So its all related.

hehe when was the last time anything was accomplished on the SL forums beyond "how do I set my land to home? type questions being answered?

"I thought you were a writer."

Nice. You're sooooo right. All the time. You always try to be so diplomatic. I admire you.

oh relax! i was taking the piss, it went over your head, its cool. i know you arent a racist ok?

ahh but our conversation has degraded far beyond opinions as well -

and as a writer you must have the reading comprehension to understand that.

That's very blurry. Sorry. I can follow a sequence of events back to the big bang, but why would I?

Telling me I'm wearing a designer shirt just to get laid is ludicrous. I'm more than happy with my girlfriend, and am not trying to impress anybody. Not with my shirt, the car that I drive, or the computer that I use.

Poppey said it best: I yam what I yam!

You can make all the ties to sex you want. That doesn't make SL a "hook up" tool. It's "Your World Your Imagination" not "Your Sex Drive Your Mature Land"

*shrugs*

In your mentality, SL (and actually ALL of creation) is for sex. That's not quite my point.

mike i wonder how many of your cameras and lights are used in sl pornography shoots everyday
they are beautiful cameras, ill grant you that. in fact, if the 35mm includes a gesture i will buy it.

You expect me to relax when you call me a racist! That's not just some thing you toss out as a joke ("taking a piss"--that's just plain stupid. Jesus you people. Get a clue.

You rowel us up, and then jump on our responses as if they are uncalled for and out of place. The worst of you do it in seemingly diplomatic ways...but you know what?

Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies.
