Chris, I'm glad that is what I hoped it was. But just in case it wasn't, (like you) I said what I said. Peace! You should know me well enough to know I don't do backhanded, unless it is entirely in jest. I am a "Hey diddle diddle, straight up the middle" kind of guy. _____________________

and at least I can blame poor crooked nerve damaged fingers. He is just sloppy! Nah - I only go inworld at home, and I am usually alcoholically challenged which leads to my fingers moving faster than my knees can centre the keyboard.

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. You could have just said: "Hi everyone, I admit my OP was extreme and insulting to people here in the forum and when i posted it i was very upset and really did not mean to cause this drama here, as i said, i was just upset, and I apologize for the sweeping generalization." But Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. You have everyone pegged as much as they have you pegged, etc..etc.. the beat goes on. _____________________

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. Getting to know some over years is exactly why i wrote this. They aren't assumptions, they're real instances that I've witnessed or been in. This is where the post came from. Its wasn't based on sl as a whole. |

I'm pretty sure I basically said I wasn't generalizing all many pages ago. It was all those characteristics in one, not in part. |

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. Can't you see that saying "20 something guys" is generalising about a vast swathe of people? To my way of thinking, if one makes a generalisation it means that anyone within that group would be justified in feeling the comments are being applied to him or her. I think there are many uses of generalities, but on a public message board a generalisation is more likely to be a shortcut to emphasising a judgemental opinion. _____________________

Hell, I am not passing judgment on "normality", just pointing out that the OP is probably nearer the mark than most here want to admit.

I'm not sure if anyone knows what normal is. Are we talking about an actual normal meaning customary, standard, usual or just some stereotypical idea of what we wish or think normal should be? I couldn't even define what is normal and very much doubt I would want to strive for it if I could.
People use all kinds of things to fill empty voids. I think in our crazy world it is very easy to loose balance. Some abnormal obsessive people I have known personally: athletes that never ever miss a day and many hours at the gym or training (not professionals - just as a hobby); people with food issues (anorexic, bulimic, food addictive); crazy fans who spend hours on end following the smallest detail of thier obsession. I could go on and on listing things. People will find ways to be obsessive. Yes, I think some people use SL in obsessive and odd ways. I worry about the RL friend I introduced to SL that is shutting herself off. Her RL friends are now requiered to give her two days notice if they want to do anything, because she has to have that much time to arrange her SL. I even think this could have been a very good topic for discussion if presented in a more positive way. IBTL |

Just a few questions and some thoughts: 1. Did you get what you wanted with this particular thread? 2. Should we expect the 20 something guys thread next Friday? 3. Have to just say I dont really care who you are. And looking at your start date dont seem to be a "newb" so that is out the window. 4. Still trying to figure out what made you seem so hmmmmm cant quite place the word. And sorry but glad I dont hang out where you hang out cause it seems like a sad world keeping everyone at arms length. Where I hang out we accept each other as I said before at face value. _____________________

You can't write what you wrote in the tone you wrote it and not expect to ruffle feathers. A verbal gang rape. Lol. Such dramatics. _____________________

Well, I cannot let a "Freak, Liar, Sociopath" label everyone in SL that way, when that is exactly what they are. No way. Just no way. This place is great and does not need that type of person spreading negative hypocritical crap just because their spiteful. _____________________

Regardless. You let out a pretty hardcore vent. I am sorry you had such experiences that would cause such a build up. it wasn't meant to be hardcore. i was no where NEAR upset. There's just certain attitudes and actions that you'd expect from a 13 y/o, but when you see mature individuals doing it, it makes you raise an eyebrow. As I've stated, but evidently ignored by many. i understand the net as being an outlet for many. My mother is disabled and i help support her, believe me I understand. The issues I'm trying to get is why all the deception in a place you're supposed to be outside of all of that. i can imagine many have had a rough go of life, or dealt a crappy hand, but then why in turn try and make yourself out to be something you're not? Create fake accounts to talk to yourself to portray popularity. Make multiple accounts and partner multiple people to somehow fill a void in your life all the while ignoring there's another real person on the other end getting hurt when things come to life? Why use your disability as an excuse as if the person on the other end HAS to feel sorry for you when they care about WHO you are.. not what you are, or whats wrong with you. People who generally care. I guess I may have come off a bit unclear in retrospect, but thats how I call things. I'm all for people making this world what they want it, but to lie to yourself, to others, to be fake without giving others the opportunity to see you and like you for who you are is wrong. Nothing, thankfully has happened to me personally. None of this is fueled by me being "hurt". It is partially from disgust at others behaviors and what they do to genuinely honest people who are just looking for a friend. There is no exuse for egos, deception, popularity contests, and generally treating people like crap. Yet is goes on in the cases of my original post. |
