Tari Landar Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Just now, Madelaine McMasters said: Yeah, but you are not as imaginative as I am nefarious. That's probably pretty accurate, my imagination tends to be autonomous, I have very little control over it. We chat in passing and that's about the extent of our involvement, until it gets me in trouble and then everyone is all like "Tari (except they use my real name), you can't blame your imagination, it's not a person, it's not alive, it's not its own entity". To which I usually say "tell her that"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 As I detailed in the "Complexity" thread, I rarely click "Haha" and so do not expose myself to the appearance of scorn laughing. It's pretty rare that I might feel scorn for a post or poster. When I do feel scorn, I walk away or directly address the scorn-worthy behavior. Addressing that kind of behavior with actual scorn seems counterproductive. There are more effective methods. I am also often deliberately absurd and have received a lot of "Haha"s. I've interpreted a very few of those as scorn, for they were given to serious posts and I had reason to believe (via posting history) the grantor was not fond of my reasoning. I wouldn't file an AR for scorn laughter myself, I have filed only one (non spam) AR in my many years here. I can, however, understand others, withering under a barrage of it, desiring relief. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Macbain Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Being the person accused of the alleged “scorn laughing” I can only say my use of each of the five emojis provided to us to respond to posts covers a plethora of emotions and summing all of them up in one choice is often difficult and frequently misconstrued. Scorn is absolutely not the emotion I’m attempting to convey, and since I’m the only person privy to my emotions, unless I specifically use actual words to say what exact emotion I’m feeling that could be displayed through laughter, and there are many, no one else can really be certain, can they? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Which is why I do not react or respond to that person. Never again. That's one trap I won't ever fall into again. No matter how hard that person tries to goad me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseelvira Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Just reading all of this ,,,, , hugs to every one ,,,, my smile clicks are never scornfull,,,, the icons do create a lot of confusion especially when a thread becomes many different threads &views in one thread . How did this go from asking advice for a person to all of this ???? i think everyone agrees name calling is never ok i guess it comes down to HOW certain words could be used example in england the word they use for a cigerette or smoke is considered a derogotory word about a type of sex orentation The R word used to describe a disability was a medical term that was then turned to a slang word so once again the dynamics ,, I was watching the jersey shore summer vacation ,,, and well we could teach the children all day long what is right but media tells them different and in a kid mind once they turn legal age they can do what ever ,,,,, all a parent can do is teach them the best they can and about consequences of the behavior words etc we all have loving hearts and souls the writings may get heated but at the end of the day i know we all love each other and hold each other in one another hearts ,, ,, let us hear each other with love kindness and compassion,,,, hugs hugs hugs to every one Edited September 13, 2019 by roseelvira spelling the usual 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Legion Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Frankly how a particular reaction is used really should not matter much outside of far more serious issues being present (such as stalking) - if they're going to be moderated for tone, they need to be removed. It goes right up with that oh so lovely enforced politeness/positivity that some seem to enjoy/want more of.

Love Zhaoying Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 This idea of “scorn” laughter seems to me, was strongest argued by Phil. I don’t buy into it, personally. I have no idea of someone’s intent when they react. That being said, “confused” seems more like “scorn” to me than laughter does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been talking to a person who I think is retarded (yes, I know, I'm not supposed to use that word). He is spending a lot of money in sl on land, and giving other people money. I don't want to get him booted from sl, but I have no other idea how to protect him. Any advise is appreciated. Thank you for caring. Legally, possible interventions may be limited; but good on you for taking up the concern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me being confused by something posted is definitely way different than being scornful to/about the comments. I can't say as I've ever thought anyone's confused reaction was in scorn, nor have I ever felt that any of the confused reactions to my posts were meant scornfully, but rather that had I truly confused some people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there definitely are times when it is used scornfully. I'll even admit to using it that way myself -- or actually more along the lines of "OMG, are you kidding? You must be off your rocker a bit with that statement". If LL would give me more varied reaction icons, then people wouldn't have to guess. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to say that such a reaction to a reaction is a bit "extreme" and far more harmful in the long run. A "WTF" is ... closer to being neutral. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Bliss Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 If I've been arguing with someone and we never resolved the issues, and they begin repeatedly laughing at my posts even though they are totally serious posts with no jokes contained within, I can only deduce they suddenly imagine I've developed some sort of Robin Williams sense of humor they are now immensely appreciating, or that they are attempting to affect me in some sort of negative way. No way to ascertain for certain what they're doing, but it's an attempt to affect me somehow, and not in a positive way -- it feels like a kind of minor griefing or perhaps goading. Of course the meaning might just be that they recently smoked way too much green stuff. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
