I thought the secret was that you delete them after a certain age like a paranoid fruitcake? I had to look for paranoid fruitcake in the urban dictionary. And now I'm thinking about changing my name into "paranoid fruitcake". Because: fruitcake 1. A derogatory term for a homosexual man. 2. Someone who is completely insane. 3. A cake made with bits of fruit and drenched in scotch. Since I'm not a man, there are two possibilities, what I could be: completely insane or a cake drenched in scotch. or the third: a completely insane cake drenched in scotch.

By using the phrase "people joined SL" you acknowledged the existence of humans as opposed to avatars; in fact, it can be about nothing but humans instead of avatars, based on both "people" and "joined." SirLeighBastard couldn't have joined SL as he was created in the moment the account was registered. Joining is the act of connecting two existing things. If you disagree with Sartre (which is usually pretty sensible) and maintain that SirLeighBastard had a pre-existing essence you'll have to explain how an essence can perform an action.

Make up your mind! The human who joined SL was not the same as the human who typed the original post in this thread, and a different human is now typing this response. In addition, SirLeighBastard does not exist, except as a label to attach to what you seem to perceive, incorrectly, as a coherent single individual. The Many Worlds Implementation applies, of course, although this is only tangentially of relevance in refuting your misconceptions. If you seriously want to get into a philosophical or psychological discussion about "essence", then feel free to do so, but be prepared to defend your beliefs regarding the existence, or otherwise, of a soul, and to explain how it can come into existence and where it might go when its corporeal instantiation is terminated. ***Call me when you can demonstrate a degree of self-consistency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reply died aborning, as I had already stated that I was addressing a person, which I specifically said could also be a partnership or corporation -- i.e. multiple humans acting collectively -- and in English "you" is both the second-person singular and second person plural pronoun.
