Which of these are broadly offensive?

Well maybe but Robin also admitted that she was behind the blog, not Dan. I don't know if Dan posted the blog in his own words but Robin asked Dan to post the blog.

So criticism of Dan may be a bit unjustified.

Just a Clarification:

Personaly Discomforting does NOT Equal Broadly Offensive.

Another thread here is polling peoples opinion, a simple Yes/No, "Should LL Ban Pixelsex?".
The "NO" side is still hovering about 93% but if you Listen to the remaining Highly vocal 7% they would have us believe that Cyber sex is Broadly offensive, and should be Banned. Thier Only support for that point of View is "I don't like it, and i Know other people who don't like it". When the Numbers are in though, they simply Don't have the support yet they still insist Cyber sex is Broadly Offensive.

There is no such thing as a Majority of One unless you are the Only one in the room.

i think s/he needs more fiber O.o?

Come on!

Say what you really think and stop hiding.

I am offended by RL religion in SL. OK if someone wants to make an SL religion based on prim worship or something, but please no RL religions in SL!!!

LOL

*applause*

Very well said! Everyone who owns land or islands in SL should do the same.

Whoever it is, they should know better. If you are making rules, the implementation of which involves severe penalties like loss of land, it is imperative that those rules be precisely defined. It is intolerable to use vague language like "broadly offensive" which could mean anything.

But then the entire blog post was badly conceived.

*Raises her fist*
Don't ye call me screen offensive...

Oh wait, you said giant tree screens.... on mine are mountains! So they are not offensive...

j/k

Do you have clearance to post in a blue zone?

One vote in favor of censorship.

I vote to censor all neocons!

Good thing I lean toward the paleocon/libertarian way of thinking.

Well Dan should be more careful of what he attaches his name to. And a boo to Robin for hiding behind him.

Dunno, I"m worried that a few ARs and I'll have to change my name.

If it goes on the Official Linden Blog it's an Official Linden Announcement, regardless of who made it. If the announcement did not match company policy then they'd have to post a retraction; blaming an individual Linden isn't helpful unless Linden Labs come out and say that person does not, in fact, speak for the company.

Dearly Darlings,

We call that dire rears in the dog world. What on earth is a neocon?

You have a lovely evening!

Ever Yours,

Some people like to label political views into certain categorys, and choose the one they are amember of. Then, instead of assessing each issue they can just look up what the group tells them to think.

It seems to be much more prevailent in the US than Australia, and I'm not sure about about the rest of teh world. As far as I know Neocon is New-Conservative, but I don't know how they differ from classic conservatives.

Landbots. For those who aren't busy trying to rationalize the use of a Landbot, in essence it is an exploit which allows the user to bypass the GUI and achieve search results which are impossible for a player working through the search feature.

A simple analogy:

Your local Gas-N-Go is having a mad sale on gas at $.50 per gallon. Lines form up for miles while the customers wait for the station to open.

Anticipation is high as the station lights come on. The first customers pull in.

But sadly, every time someone makes it to the pump they find out the gas was already sold out. Joe Landbot and his Gasbot bypassed the lines and bought all the one second after the station opened.

Thankfully everyone in line understood that Gasbots were not explicitly forbidden and held no hard feelings for Joe and his Gasbot.

Especially since Joe was kind enough to immediately open his own station and sell his gas to those who patiently waited in line. At a slightly higher price of course since Joe has expenses like anyone else.

Originally Neo Cons were people who believe in social liberalism but were conservative in Fiscal and Foreign policy issues. The term was coined during Nixon's administartion to describe those who identified as liberal's socially, but were in favor of the Adminstartion's Foreign Policy. Reagan Democrats could be considered NeoCons. The philosophy has changed somewhat today, most NeoCons are closer to Conservatives now. Some call themselves Compassionate Conservatives. Personally I don't pay much attention to those labels, I know I can't be pinned down to one specific idealogy.My liberal friends think I'm too conservative and my conservative friends refuse to talk to me.

That's the trouble with hyponyms.

I think a definition of a Neocon (today) would be someone who is both Socially and Fiscally Conservative - But also believes in strengthening the Federal Government's power. Including involvements in Foreign ventures, and using the US military as a Foreign relations tool.

Which is funny becuase for the past 200 years many administration's have started to lean to that definition.
