BelindaN Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 ^^^^ When a guy asked me if I use RL social media and I said no.......(I don't), he said "I think you're lying". Obviously I gave him some blunt advice about accusing strangers of lying, before poofing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that that is merely being honest with them -- far more so, in fact, than someone who represents what they say as God's Own Truth.

AngeliqueMinogue Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Well.. it's quite simple. If you are spending majority of your time telling others not to believe you. You are lying to them. Please do not take this outta context. I could of said something else but perhaps I would of been wrong? And I did not warn others, I never mentioned a grain of salt, I never claimed anyone was leading anyone astray. I just asked them a question, if your an Advisor, why would you convince people not to believe you? That's All!

If you are spending majority of your time telling others not to believe you. You are lying to them. No, it's not "quite simple" at all. Human communication is never "quite simple": it's packed full of ambiguity, subjectivity, and, as often as not (and more often than not in Maddy's case), with irony .What is honest is acknowledging that one should never take anything one hears as some sort of inviolable truth. And it is, by definition, not a "lie" if one takes pains to ensure that it is not accepted as the unambiguous truth. Anymore than Charles Dickens was one of the greatest liars of all times because the things he wrote were not "true." Maddy is not "lying to them": exactly the contrary, she is making them more aware of the nuance and complexity of language and connection. 11 minutes ago, AngeliqueMinogue said: I just asked them a question if your an Advisor, why would you convince people not to believe you? That's All! And here's an interesting instance of misleading language. You did not "just" ask a question: you implicitly made a rather snide and unnecessary moral judgement about Maddy's veracity -- and a highly questionable one, at that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Gregoire Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Maddy as in short for Madelaine. The person you replied to. The advisor title relates to post count, not any kind of authoritative position assigned by LL. Btw, Maddy made a statement. She did not ask a question. She didn't ask if you were curious.

Rolig Loon Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) 20 minutes ago, AngeliqueMinogue said: if your an Advisor .... Heh .... "Advisor" comes with the territory, a title conferred by the gods of Linden but without literal meaning. It's like "Elder" or "Esquire" or "Busy One." Some of us who wear the title "Advisor" do occasionally dispense words of deep wisdom, but that's coincidental as often as it's intended. The fact is, you too may become an Advisor by simply sharing thoughts here daily. It's like a good conduct attendance medal.

Zenash Vlodovic Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I think my biggest peeve is no LI listed for furnishings/accessories on Marketplace. I love, love the "FaMESHed" event, but ALL of the furniture/accessories have a "0" LI if you put them into 'Edit' to see. I keep track of my LI count, and not having that available keeps me from buying things or using certain ones I've bought that end up having a HIGH LI count.... Example: I have a chair with a 2LI count, saw one JUST LIKE IT with a 12LI count (same animations). PLEASE creators, list the LI count of your items, in world and especially on Marketplace... PLEASE.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a way Maddy jokes with people, and since others have spent a longer amount of time knowing Maddy they understand this. Maybe it would be best for you to step back (regarding this issue) and just watch how Maddy does this. Maybe you will understand it better then.

Madelaine McMasters Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hang in there, Angelique! My sense of humor is well known to old-timers here, but can baffle new folks. We're a generally decent bunch, stick with us and you'll find our bark is worse than our bite. I noticed in your SL profile what looks like a diploma from Heaven University. As you may learn if you stick around long enough, I'm from Hell. ;-). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have been trying to check land impact from a cam-shopping sim. You can only get an accurate land impact on an object if you're on the same region it is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
