Why? The OP was an asshat and was called on it.
I disagree. You are all overly sensitive.

I know what you mean, Mickey. All you can do is set a good example, SL or RL. Don't be afraid to speak up about it, flames or not. I'm not afraid, Smith....but each of us has a responsibility. I come close to crossing the line on many occasions, simply to get an opinion across. There's a point where you pull back and shut up and know when not to cross that line.....and your opinion or your right to express those opinions is on longer valuable if you have to stomp on some souls in the process....or if just tossing it out there irresponsibly, provokes others to stomp on each others' souls, while you watch. Internet or not....not acceptable behavior. |

And the girl in question was just an employee, I'm the one who requested the tummy talker removal or silencing and had the manager talk to her. Bloody ridiculous situation. It that was all he complained about, this thread would have been quite different. . _____________________

Quite the hornets nest I hit. If i had made a post about 20 something guys, being dumb and full of cum,walking around with prim privates who only want sex and how pathetic they are coming after every girl they see, then added some comments about them being pathetic, single minded so on... it wouldn't get a second look.
Comments like 'Its the net', "Welcome to the internet" so on would commence. However if someone came on and looked at that post and thought, "Wait. I'm 20 and have a bought part. He must be talking about me and generalizing!!" You'd have a field day on his ass. Its basically whats happening here. I said 40, disabled, so on. Some are going "Wait.. no he DIDN'T!! I'm 40 and disabled!! IT'S ON!!" Or, "I'm disabled! he must be talking about ME!!". It was the collection of all those things together. If i hadn't said 40. Or disabled, just the drama queen, egos, stupid juvenile behavior and such it wouldn't have blown up like this.. its because I wrote the circumstances of the few individuals this pertained to. But I'm "projecting". Yes thats it. I must be addressing every single person who has at least one of the things in common with what i mentioned. Now its a popularity contest on who can try and peg who I am, and what I'm about. Lets post pictures!!! Lets rally together and nail this "newbie". God FORBID something isn't in line with the "in crowd". If its out of line, lets dive in, jump to conclusions, and verbally gang rape. Its typical. However, I can easily say there are many who have experienced this type of situation who evidently read these forums, but don't post. Happens everywhere, but ya. No Lady isn't an alt, shes a sim owner that i showed this thread to. I've had a few discussions with people about typical behavior of SOME residents and how after my first year here, I've learned to keep things at arms length based on never knowing the type of person you're dealing with. it is the internet afterall. |

If that was a backhanded attempt at calling me a "do gooder" PFT! This is one "do gooder" that would not be pissed if you want to use the word "crippled". I have heard far worse. Nope, just a comment in general. I don't know you well enough to know if you are a do gooder or not. _____________________

I've had a few discussions with people about typical behavior of SOME residents and how after my first year here, I've learned to keep things at arms length based on never knowing the type of person you're dealing with. it is the internet afterall. Good Plan. Or perhaps attempt to get to know some of the people that you keep at arms length (personally - not in a public forum), before you toss out some judgments and assumptions. |

Whining and backpedaling. When you throw stones at people's real life conditions then degrade them as pathetic you have to expect it to be on. _____________________

That's a very destructive generality, and one that, in my experience in Second Life, has very little basis in fact. Where are you spending your time that you form these peculiar opinions? How is it a generality exactly? Does it occur? Yes, most have seen it. Practically ever woman I've met has encountered some newbie with parts hanging out asking for sex. Stores have to post "No nudity", that in itself would justify the comment. |
