Funny thing, I've never seen anyone ever ask for your "protection" and quite a few people who don't seem too thrilled by it.Unless you're talking your alts, like Kiera and... There have been those who appreciated it....those who were on the receiving end of your bullying... And you know, when you start with the alt paranoia well your position is obviously shaky... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they don't want to exist as a deranged type of Yogi. not deranged, just logical to a fault perhaps. Why do you feel the need to inflict your "logic" way of relating on people who enjoy the emotional component of relating as well?

This is assuming some very important things, however. That is assuming the person actively tries, and I've known gurus (literally) who have been known to still get affected by words, we are all human (theoretically). Also it is assuming that the person has the capacity for that type of work. Things like clinical depression, PTSD, and other things can impinge on one's ability to choose. Assuming that everyone on the Internet meets the requirement for words not to hurt is arrogant, and a few other things. ETA: Just so you know, I'm not referring to you, Skukubia, as arrogant.

Sammy Huntsman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I have a bunch of pet peeves, to be honest with you. I think we all do, and this forum post is a great way to be able to openly talk about it. Anywhosers, with the pandemic and all. My big pet peeve is when people take like an hour to look around and shop. And I don't mean like they are constantly shopping, I mean they are looking around, touching everything, and just taking their sweet time. Now I don't know about you, but it is a pain to stand outside and wait. It is also a pain to watch someone's grubby paws, without any gloves on touch everything they are looking at. In SL, when an event releases and you go to check it out and it's a themed event and barely anything there is too the damn theme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It' s counter-effective to any form of genuine discussion. No one wins anything like this. You got mad at me for defending a friend, then blocked me, taking away my ability to discuss anything with you. No one wins that way, either. To everyone - I am so f**king sick of all this stupid bickering, fighting, back-stabbing, undermining, targeting, disruptive horse sh!t being driven by being locked down, scared, uncertain, and all of us stuck in this stupid mess together, and being prodded by a couple of bitter alts pushing all this destructive, asinine behavior on EVERYONE'S part as some kind of sick, twisted amusement at seeing everyone miserable. F**k that. F**K THAT. We are better than this. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 JFC people, is there a contest this week to see who can shut down the most threads? If someone is being a horse's arse, put them on Ignore. If many someones are being horse's arses, put them ALL on Ignore. Then let it go and enjoy the forums. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 This has been brewing for a couple weeks now, hasn't it? No one here has to like anyone else. No one has to respond to anyone else. But common decency and respect... God, have we really lost those to the point this is becoming Lord of the Flies?! Every single one of us has the right to be here, and every single one of us has a right to post our opinions. We also have the choice of whether or not we're going to fight for those opinions when someone wants to disagree, or walk away. No one is better or worse than anyone else for how they chose to respond. We're all just freaking humans trying to survive our years as best we can. There are a couple people who've just recently appeared and it seems that their intent is to be disruptive. Nothing else. There is no topic they are passionate about, nothing about SL they want to discuss, they just want to poke and prod and disrupt. That behavior isn't going unnoticed by the ones with the powers to do something about it. You never know who is reading. These forums have been my social life for the past couple of months. Like many of you, I live alone. We need this place. I'm not going to let some bored little twerps take it from me. Let the Lindens come in tomorrow morning and clean all this sh!t up. Close the threads they need to close, delete the comments they need to delete, hand out the suspensions they need to hand out. This crap behavior needs to end. Call me a bossy b!tch if you want. I'm happy to give you 20 other ways to contact me off these forums to hash out whatever personal beef you have with me. But this crap needs to stop. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
