Sephina Frostbite Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Nice troll post. It's refreshing. I don't find people who are less intelligent than me or more not worth my time. Intelligence has nothing to do with whether a person is compatible with you. I find joy in learning new things and new people. I am positive my post is a waste but I wanted to put my 2 cents in. I am curious as to the reason you are in sl if no one measures up to your standards. Find other outlets perhaps then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasure Ballinger Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 No. Outside of an occasional group related activity, while I love SL I prefer my own company, to do my own thing, or leave, as I see fit. Very short 'Friend' list. Been here a long time, and it's always been that way. Often uncheck everyone, so I can go about my business, or entertainment, without being IM'd. I'm an isolationist in RL too, so, *shrug*. I'm good with it. The few that have remained 'Friends' with me for 8 years in SL, know and understand this quirk, and apparantly they're good with it too. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few participants meet my high standards, and the small numbers who do do not seem to share the same interests.. Why should I drop those standards in SL when I refuse to do so in rl? I have wasted considerable amounts of time finding out that people who say they would like to be friends with me are lying about their educational prowess, their competence in supposed areas of expertise, their morals and ethics, and worst of all, their ability to communicate. Do you forumites find that you have to revise your expectations downwards to find people to talk to? There is absolutely nothing wrong, with having standards for whom you want to socialize with as friends, neither is there something wrong, in feeling (or really being) superior in many ways. (Nobody can be superior in all ways, after all).... When a person, however, feels oneself or really is superior, there could be something wrong in the way, this person uses these superior skills. To use one's skills, to taunt or mock other people, because they are not as skilled, as one self, is really not very intelligent or to act wisely. - But to use one's skills, to in a kind and polite way, to lead other people on the right track, is a sign of really superiority and wisdom.... All other bad manners, are just a sign of an empty and puffed-up ego, in my opinion, and certainly not a sign of genuine superiority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you forumites find that you have to revise your expectations downwards to find people to talk to? When you are talking about 'participants' are you referring to the personas created in Second Life, or the person who created the persona? When I was in the Society for Creative Anachronism we called the 'backstory' to our characters our 'persona'. When you put on your garb you also put on your persona. I think some do that in Second Life as well. When I'm communicating with someone in Second Life, I always take what they are telling me "with a grain of salt." While I don't tell lies in chat or im's in Second Life, I feel that having an avatar that looks nothing like the real life 'me' is in itself a form of deceit. I am not looking for friends in Second Life, either. All of the 'sociability' this aspie can muster is used to try to keep the real life friends I have. Perhaps in Second Life, if you cannot find someone who meets ALL of your expectations, you could find different participants who might be able to fulfill a few of your expectations - for example, you could have an Educated Friend, a Friend with High Morals, and so on... Hope this helps. I am not a 'forumite'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 What is probably most amusing about this thread is the way that nearly everyone, with the possible exception of Perrie, but myself included, has treated it as a serious question requiring an answer. Rather than as the satiric and rather nasty insult addressed to pretty much all of us that it actually is. We have been measured by the fastidious, the all-powerful Zoe, and found wanting, people. There's nothing else to see here . . . move along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It HAS to be the persona; WYSIWYG is the principle almost everybody insists should be used here, and it is apparently rude and inappropriate to treat, say, a male using a female persona here, as a deceitful liar.

Have I missed it? In fact, your comment is a characteristic distortion of the facts. She did nothing to get the one (1) fan fired. The company employing him, unhappy to discover that their employee was actually a crass, drunken, misogynist moron, did that. I've not seen anything anywhere to suggest that Hunt even lodged a complaint about him. All she did was accommodate the evident desire of said moron for a national audience by airing the segment. Rather obliging of her, I'd have said, wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
