We want our old lives back without masks, vaccinations and restrictions. And if you are in America, the sharp political division lines through every aspect of the society are starting to take their toll on that side of the pond as well IMHO. I agree 100% ~ Even the kindest souls on earth feel (and sometimes react to) the tumultuous political divide which includes wearing masks, not wearing masks, vaccines ...etc. Right and Wrong have been tossed in a blender and it all looks a bit green to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You then followed up with: Thus people started saying what they think, what they have experienced, what they have noticed. The comments might not all jive with what you think/experienced/noticed, but they are all valid comments for the topic. Thus I wouldn't say that "everyone flew over the entire point". (Yes, I realize that you were probably making the opening statement because you, personally, think us forum folks are mean most of the time and need to be more friendly.) Actually @LittleMe Jewell thank you for sharing your meanness cause ain't about you or forum folks possibly being a lil mean LMAO meaning you know you were wrong for what you did on my first post calling me a troll cause I have not written anything on a forum before i me we CAN include that since you brought it up yet again😁. this entire post is about people even family member's being rude intentionally or being rude unknowingly. and right now you are knowingly being mean in the most friendliest way I me you gotta love it 🥰 (her reply stems from my post on gacha machines still being used in sl when she pointed out i was a noob and called me a troll which I have moved past and she clearly has not) *shrugs* thus bringing us back to "couldn't we be more friendly" i did not say couldn't we be more friendly on the forum's LMAO SMH @ you Edited February 9, 2022 by Suga Bunny 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communication is SL is not the same as RL. when I read as in RL ... in SL ... This is wrong at least for me. My experience : I am very natural and react as I react in RL. Always honest (straigh or direct) I prefer a joke sometimes than serious too In my culture people are very kind and sweet. But withour revealing my cultural backgroud I must say that it is the most complicated ununderstandable and contracditory culture. compare to others who seam more simple to understand... I have my own way of communication because it is me. I like to feel the other and make confortable. We are all different. The same sentence could be understood differently according to people. then I try to be clear as much as possible. But in SL it is not the same. It is like an other country with special unspoken rules. I see that somewhere. And I don't know the rules or all. When I try to do my best I can break the rules. And been blocked for example. Communication on SL should be learned. You can learn by experience (mistake) or maybe it is obvious for others. I realise that if I cannot communicate with other on SL it is because I didn't know how to do it. It is very simple. SL is a culture in itself. Probably influenced by american or english culture. I Meet people of different nationalities and even individuals disabilities and are misunderstood and blocked and bullied i enjoy learning things from others and making new friends on the daily I see rude people everywhere on the daily which is why i came here and made this post on the forums so see what people have experienced, seen and what they thought about friendliness/kindness. being that it is a rare thing which it is a rare thing to me ppl can be and say they are friendly and then turn around saying what they really felt to others and laughing at others misfortunes and being NEGATIVE etc...

Solar Legion Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) If you think some of this is "rude" or being "unfriendly" .. Online communities are not for you. The above is blunt - take it as "rude" and "unfriendly" if you wish. Either way, it really doesn't change anything.

Suga Bunny Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) so i guess it comes down to taking my own advice so i shall take the initiative and mute the evil doers. 🤣 p.s. if you are being harrassed or bullied or see someone you dislike here in the online forum community such as topic on friendliness you can mute them by hovering your mouse over their icon and click the ignore button to hide post messages mentions and signatures.

Istelathis Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I find that if I try to remain relatively neutral online, it usually just wears people out over time. I make for a pretty boring target and don't offer very much for entertainment. I think I am pretty evil in that way 🙃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Isodo Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 19 hours ago, Nick0678 said: Well.. we do chat using English over here, aren't we.. Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc., performed in a theatre, or on radio or television.[ We do not use english in RL this is one reason why communication in SL in not as RL but not the only one. I give you an example of misunderstanding : do not laught When I see the word 'inworld' I understant in real life. But actually I know it means In the game second life. I need to translate from sl english to normal english then from normal english to my language. If you only translate one level you misunderstood. Misunderstanding is everywhere here And it leads to frustration and so many opposite feeling. You can hut per accident and you don't understand why this people is hurt. Assume always that what you say is understood only when you have feed back. According to the response you know if it is understood or not. Now this is a good situation when communication is possible. Sometimes it is brocken because unfriended or blocked. I give you one advice. If you are not sure what you say is understood. Just repeat with different words. in my native language we say 'reformulate' it does not cost so much and sometimes it save drama Thank makes me thinking of an other example with the word Drama In SL it means problem or (I even don't understood the real definitiion of SL drama) I think it is a problem of communication something like that. For me I sometimes take the definition of wikipedia: It is theater. then I understand Role play. now can you imagine replacing the word drama everywhere instead or RP and reverse. Do it today it is fun. And it help a little to understand how some people misunderstand each other. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I mean, the definition of "literally" has changed to also mean figuratively... Do we need age brackets, too? Like they need to speak English, but be at least Gen X, and preferably use the Oxford comma while we're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 If you never want to be misunderstood, don't talk to anyone. People who speak the same language misunderstand each other. If you're not sure exactly what someone means, before you get all dramatic, ask them to explain what they mean. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i wouldn't even notice tho, long chats in English or Portuguese get me tired quickly, so i avoid them in SL.

Well, that's how it started, at least. Then Webster, Macmillian, and even Cambridge added a second definition to their dictionaries. So many people were using it incorrectly that they added a new definition of literally meaning literally the opposite of literally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
