Why are these posts necessary? I'm sorry, but this is just gratuitous.

If you don't like Jig, don't open her threads. Put her on ignore. Surely there is no need to use every opportunity to take swipes at her?

I honestly don't get this hostility: Jig isn't attacking anyone personally. Her posts aren't antisocial: she's not advocating racism or violence or anything like that. What is being accomplished here?

There no need to be unnecessarily unkind or aggressive. Can't we be a bit more gentle and forgiving with each other? Please?

I agree fully with you Rioko and something i did notice about Jig in a post in the forum she said she was 29 on her profile she is 22. Now we all know its not nice to ask a women her age but from women to women what one is true ?


I'm 27ish

The cusp of old maidhood. :D

Jig, did you check to see if your laptop was on the recall list?

Dont worry Scylla. I think forum can help peopel unload or vent.I cant be as controversial as I am in real or be my real (although I have considered a blog here) but let peopel air there angers at me - its a safe way to express what they feel about issues I am interested in.

Your a good sister.

In my case, it is because I would like to see her make a change before it is too late. I know inside of her there is probably a very likeable person. At Christmas she was devistated
because of a lack of acknowledgement... I would love to see her show that she cares about other people and not just what she has and does. Without bragging about it. She was upset because of what she didn't get for Christmas, not happy because of what she gave. People aren't going to love her and want to be her friend just because she says they do or throws a few bucks at them. The receipt of a gift is in what a person gives when they don't tell the world about it. She may be standing in a crowd of people from what she says, but I believe very lonely inside.

With her out going personality and energy she could be such a terrific person if only she would stop basking in her own glory. Put that energy into something good. At this point I see her as a spoiled child in an older persons body. What a waste. The gentle and forgiving part is pretty much a two way street and I believe that is why the not so nice replies. Most people take her posts personally, just like they did Pep. They are pretty much voicing their views just as she is. She puts it out there and people reply. This is an open forum and people are entitled to their opinion. I for one feel very sorry for her because she has no idea what life is all about. Or maybe she is just playing some kind of sordid game with all of us. When someone lies constantly they build a brick wall that eventually you can't see over.

Definitely agree to freedom of forums.
Really hope I dont sound sordid.
I understand a lot of life according to my age - not so sure what I will feel at 30 or 40 will be any different from me now. I hope not, actually.
You would be surprised at teh high amounts of truth I say here. After all, why lie about our emotive states? Or after masking expereiences just enough, why not share them?
Sometimes, I can feel teh pain and anger that others feel even as far away from each other as here in a computer thread.
Maybe some times I make enough humour for a smile from a reader who had a rotten day. Just a break from a bad day for one person is all I would need so to feel I have been successful. I am an entertainer in my reality in a certain discipline - I liek to entertain and give people a chance to get back in touch with their own skin and their own shade.

Maybe they miss Pep so much they have to channel him.

Your posts speak more of your own faults than of Jig's.





It does? How so? Please explain.

From: someone
BTW, Pep is good company inworld. He's more of an asshole in the forum. I'm guilty of that as well, and I bet a lot of people are. We say things here we'd never say to someone's face.


Pep is a friend of mine,and yes he is an ass on these forums. I would say the same thing to Jig if she was in front of me. Actually I would probably be even more so aggressive because sometimes she says things that make me want to slap some sense into her.

If you read her posts carefully,you will see quite a few inconsistencies. But I guess we are all supposed to act like mindless sheep and accept what Jig says as gospel. But yet it's okay to tear down Pep or anyone else controversial. :rolleyes:

Pep's attacks are invariably personal and ad hominem: they are aimed at individuals with the clear and articulated intent to ridicule and belittle them.

Jig, if she offends (as opposed to merely annoys) people does so because she makes dismissive remarks about certain kinds of behaviour. It's not even true that she attacks "types" of people or avatars; the offense is nearly always indirect. (E.g., dancing in SL is stupid offends not named individuals or groups, but rather people who engage in that kind of activity for whatever reason.)

There is an ENORMOUS difference between the way that Pep and Jig post.

So your not 22 per profile or 29 per forum post but 27ish ( is 27is a bit like being a little pregnant) guess this has not been some of your truth then

I believe Pep said that he always critigued their grammer and not them personally. They just took it that way. If and when he did attack someone personally, he always felt they jabbed him first. We may not have always seen it because some of them hid behind PM. At least he was out in the open with it. Direct and to the point.

Yeah, and the invasion of Poland in 1939 was in retaliation for Polish troops opening fire on Germany . . . :rolleyes:

I could probably fill a thread of examples of pure nastiness from Pep, but, frankly, I'm not interested in him one way or another. I am, however, interested in dispelling what seems to me a misrepresentation of how Jig posts.

Even if your point is correct, Kira, you will have to admit that there are still significant differences between Jig and Pep. Jig almost NEVER attacks individuals, even in retaliation. Certainly not to the degree that Pep does/did.

(Yes, I know I Godwined this post. Don't care! So pffft!)

I think people are just tired of hearing how wonderful she is. The marvelous things that she owns. After awhile people feel like she is rubbing their nose in it. I am sure they are many people in here that have much, much more then she does, but you don't hear them bragging about it on a daily basis. Or maybe those are just one of her many, many lies that she tells because she is human. Now she says that many of her comments in here are true, why should we believe it.

from Jig:
"He woulda had a good run with my money"

What I would love to have seen, *He would have given me a wonderful ride, and I would have done my best to give him the same in return*

Now I am not sure here if she is talking about all of the money she would have spent on him or the fact that she can screw much better then him.

You have to feel sad for someone when they think that is what life is all about, "sex and money".

I am sure I am in the minority here,but I'd rather be locked in a room with Pep. The more you speak,the less I like you. You are extremely self absorbed Jig. Not a very endearing quality to me. I wish you well though.You do appear to be a good person at heart,just very immature.


Pep is an egomaniacal self absorbed asshole who takes great pleasure in hurting others. They are not even close.

I really don't how she is being misrepresented. I could go through all her posts and pick out phrases from her own mouth(...er fingers) that support my argument. She is selfish and all about Jig. It's glaringly apparent.


Though we all choose to only read which supports our own arguments and throw out the rest. So this argument is futile. Back to studying. :)

Love,the only time you ever seem to post is when its about taking a crack at Pep. Maybe you should examine your own issues with him and stop reflecting them on others.

Is he though, some people hurt him very badly too. They must have know what they were in for before they did it... Did you read his blog when he had it up. It was hilarious as he was constantly poking fun at himself. I think Pep can see the other side of himself, Jig I don't think can. That is what bothers me about her. That is what I am trying to point out. If life is only about the physical and material things it isn't going to have a good ending.

One day she could lose all of her money, if she has any, and her body parts are going to rapidly start heading south, if they haven't already, then what does she have left>>>nothing... She needs more then that and I would like to see her find it. She has to open her eyes first though before she can get it.

I post when I feel I have something to contribute. In this case, a comparison, unfavourably even, of Jig to Pep was something I felt the need to address.

Nice try on your attack, though. Points for effort, anyway.

I have found that Pep is good for one thing: he's a good measure of others in this forum. He highlights those people who seem to enjoy his degredations upon others, or at least able to idly stand by and accept them silently.

You know, as long as he doesn't come after them.
