So I guess my pet peeve is LL's morally unjustifiable approach to moderation of both the forums and the world itself. "Just block lol" is not an acceptable response when someone is conducting a campaign of mass doxxing.

I really don't understand how LL approaches this sometimes -- and that applies to forum moderation and in-world moderation.

There are occasions when the response is really great. I remember helping to run an event once, and it being disrupted by a griefer who used voice and gestures to drown out the speaker. We ARed him and, zap, he was gone in maybe a minute.

But I know way too many people who have been constantly harassed, sometimes literally for years, and little or nothing is done to remove even the offending account.

And yeah, every time I hear someone complacently suggest that blocking or logging off should be sufficient defense against sustained harassment, I just want to punch something. Preferably the person saying it.

So, not exactly a "peeve," but . . .

I had the chilling experience about an hour ago of suddenly getting notification that an in-world (and, as it happens, forum) friend, who has supposedly been dead for over a year (and whose passing was noted in at least one well-respected blog), had just logged off . . .

I'm sure there's a rational explanation, but . . .

Yikes?

There's something strangely arousing about this image . . .

I may not be as vanilla as I've always thought!

Yeah, my thought was, "Wow Norwegians have orgasms the whole time they are talking, awesome..."

I'm sure it's apocryphal, but didn't I read once that, physiologically speaking, there is a relationship between yawning and orgasm?

Maybe I'm making that up.

OR . . . maybe I've discovered yet another kink!

I just typed "hiccup" into pornhub.com and got several hits. Seriously.

Looks like you have another fun night in store for you! Crack open another half (?) bottle of wine!

Try looking up ***** belches, that has to be there...

I think either that person doesn't know how how to orgasm or I don't know how to yawn (my guess is the former, though...can't imagine having a screaming yawn).

Possibly someone like family or friend accessing the account?

I have already written down information to be given to access things when I croak.

That's my assumption.

I quickly decided that I wasn't about to IM him to find out, however.

I think someone is doing something not quite right... although there have been times when I've made the orgasm sound when in my head I was yawning...

TMI?

2 of my biggest pet peeves:

- people that walk and bump into me even though theres heaps of space.. i just think thats rude and uncivilized.. 

- people (women mostly) that stand riiiight up against lucky boards and shopping boards.. blocking everyones view of the item. You wont get it any faster by standing that close -_-

Could be an interesting segment on one of the podcasts I follow: Ghosts in the Burbs. :)

It's an example, of how SL can find new ways of being disturbing. The idea of a sort of "zombie" avatar out there somewhere . . .

It's also upsetting, somewhat at least, because one comes to terms with someone's passing, and this sort of weirdly rekindles one's initial feelings, and complicates them.

I saw a video once of a Thai girl smoking from some nether orifice, can't remember exactly where I saw it or which orifice it was...

That's a very disturbing mental image. It evokes an odd twist to "Thanks, but I gave at the orifice."

Yes, it was quite weird. She was bent over backwards on her knees. I think it was in a film, it was supposed to be some exotic club or something. Maybe some Emmanuelle In Bangkok kinda thing. Long time ago.

I've had that happen because, at least in one instance it was someone I knew but isn't a listed friend and he told me that was why as he flew through me, they have the viewer set to render friends only. I've never used it, not sure how it works, but if that is what it does, it is a horrible feature.

Oh! Norwegian jokes! What do Danes sound like?

   As if they're attempting to speak with a scalding potato stuck at the back of their throat.

That is the least strange thing Thai exotic dancers do with their nether orifices...
