You try to keep the fire burning until the last twig is gone into ashes, don't you?

Look in the mirror. You are the one that had to post the "A textbook example of not wanting to understand something.
Sigh." without following it up with what you felt it was I was supposed to learn. Trolling at it finest wasn't it?

That post of mine was right on the money. For the rest:
Yawn.
That's all.

It’s also a method of polling to ask people about others around them. It’s like asking, “Do you drive over the speed limit in you neighborhood?” Most people will say no but if you ask, “Do other people drive over the speed limit in your neighborhood?” People will say yes. 

So long as anyone speeds, the answer to the second question must always be "yes".

ETA: Somewhere in the clutter of my computer, I have the traffic engineering data for the road in front of my house, revealed to me during my participation in a successful attempt to lower the speed limit. I'll look for it, but I recall that, by the traffic engineering and police department's threshold for speeding (5mph over posted), less than half of the drivers on my road were guilty. That was the primary reason we had to fight so hard to reduce the limit. If that's true, most people polled would be telling the truth if claiming they didn't speed on my road.

Only my intention was never to troll. The question was sincere and tailored to evoke discussion. I originally started with just chastity as the reason for not having slex but felt that didn’t describe all the reasons. I had to google for things like asexual and incel. I never intended it to be seen as giving one person all the same label. And… the question was on how you thought of others in order to not cast labels on those answering.

People driving over the speed limit is not a private matter and it does effect others.  Sexual issues, especially in SL, effect no one and and are private unless one cares to share them.  As it should be in either world.

No, this is now the "Official Roads, infrastructure and speed limits" thread

Funny how a thread earlier today was locked after like 7 posts and it had not a lick of the vitriol of this one.

Now that you mention it, things do seem to have drifted off course.  A few side roads can be interesting, but not when conversation has left the OP's original theme behind.
