Granted but your body stretches along with time. Welcome to really long flappy legs and arms.
I wish I had a little more discretion.

È stata un'esperienza spiacevole per te, ma a volte il proprietario di un negozio deve prendere una decisione per il bene degli altri clienti. Dimentica quel negozio. Prima di andare ad un altro, assicurati di indossare qualcosa, così sarai al sicuro.

This thread is so ironic. I had to fight like the devil to fend off these annoying men in my Heart Menders group where we deal with loss in life. They'd try to tell everybody they should just 'toughen up' or do whatever mansplaining thing to 'fix' the problem. I'd have to intervene so that people could just describe their loss and FEEL without interference. It was a big battle, believe me, and I got in a fight with one of the regulars at the place who thought he should tell everyone to 'just be spiritual'. But I persevered...I won...I won the right for people to feel pain and allow others just to listen to it without butting in. That's so healing, and our society just doesn't typically allow it easily -- they fear grief, want to shove it under the rug.
Wow, somehow you made that all about you.

No offense, but in general - over here (points at the ground) - "conservative" doesn't just mean 1) "I prefer a less liberal approach to life", but also for SOME people 2) "don't change anything that may affect ME" to the detriment of actually helping people with such things as charities, social programs, etc. 🙂 I am not really talking about politics, just about attitudes in general.
So, as a member of the "LGBT+" community, I would expect less "support" from a "conservative" person due to 1) above. I would probably get less positive "life lessons" in resiliency and compassion due to 2) above.
Thanks for the explanation, and no offence taken (and nothing implied by my use of the spelling over here
). My knowledge of the US doesn't involve ever having been there, alas.

Alas, I can't afford this house (it's thought to be linked to the Humpty Dumpty rhyme). What a lovely place in which to live, and imagine the right to fill ones garden with giant eggheads.

I thought about the Tiny community one time and thought to myself that it least filters out those with a Slex/Sex obsession/addiction. That is one big addiction within SL that can cause a lot of dysfunction.
Raglan Shire has had no problem with that, as far as I know, because it's General rated. Someone asked me whether I'd ever thought about or experienced sex as a Tiny, neither of which I've ever done. The old Wynx avatars and similar aren't capable of it anyway. What the Dinkies can do, I'm not sure, as they're mesh based on a human shape, but even then if they have the ability they must be doing it somewhere else.

Adding, in general, people with more "time behind them" CAN have more "compassion" and empathy (unless they have gone to the "conservative side" to "protect what they have"). More compassion can make anyone an invaluable friend to trust, learn from, look to, depend on, and model one's own self after.
I think we need a "Find a Grandparent/Elder" service in Second Life. For "youngers" to have some intergenerational interaction with, and from whom to learn resiliency. I don't think anyone would want to learn "resiliency" from the judgmental crowd, unless one also only self-selects companions of their same politics, beliefs, etc.
Well, I'd say I am on the conservative side, but perhaps we take that to mean different things. I have all kinds of friends, with different beliefs or none, and certainly different politics. I suppose we focus on what we have in common. I like the 'Find a Grandparent/Elder' idea though knowing SL it could be misused by people with another agenda. Anyway, I'm digressing, I think.

You might try another browser, and also as @Rowan Amore suggested could try clearing your "browser cache".
Aha - I cleared browser cache and the formatting is back. Yay! Thanks again, @Rowan Amore

I am guessing you didn't mean in your original post to imply that Tinies ARE ALL "older and wiser", just "generally" - as in what you actually wrote. Maybe she took what you wrote and "ran like heck with it"?
Either way, it was clear ageism to me with absolutely no question.
The current backpedaling is sad. Very sad.
Indeed, that's why I said 'generally', and in my mind was the thought that we've generally experienced more, including more pain, more examples from life from which to learn, and more understanding of what makes people tick .. and what's not worth the effort. I have to agree this is a bit sad. I'll let it go once I'm sure we're not still being misrepresented.

Sorry, I only saw the second.
So it's different between some Forums? That's weird! Possibly a good one for the "Forums Feedback" Sub-form (if we thought LL read those) 🙂
Also, which web browser do you use? I am using Chrome.
Ah, I think I might have posted in the wrong forum. I did look for something suitable and landed on this one.
I'm using Firefox.

I think you're a perfect example of wisdom occurring @ a younger age, and proof that we should not automatically accept that older people are the wiser ones. In other words, saying "hey join this community, it's better because we're older and wiser" just doesn't fly.
Tsk, misquoting me from a posting you're not supposed to be able to read? Let me help you with a little truth here. This is what I said 5 hours ago. "What you're hinting at here is that Love suggested people might like to join the Tiny community because they don't seem stressful. I agreed and said that it might be because we are generally older and wiser than the average SL resident". Notice I didn't say we were 'better' just that we aren't so stressful, and even then I just said 'might be'.
Of course even if you do read this I don't think for a moment that's going to stop you misquoting me, and Love, and anyone else you choose.

There are several missing between the first image and the second.

I get all the options in the GD forum. Have you tried logging out of the forums and clearing your browser cache?
I'll give that a try, thanks.

These are the options I see in the GD forum and in this one.

When I write in a comment in the GD forum I get the standard Arial font but am unable to change the font or its size. The same thing applies if I try to alter existing text I've written in the standard format. I can do it in this forum as the options are available.
How is the GD forum for you? Do you still have all the options that you do here?

Yesterday I suddenly found that the range of formatting tools had become reduced in the General Discussion Forum. I like to change the font and size in order to make it easier for me to see what I've typed clearly. I haven't tried other places and I notice that the formatting is as usual here, so is there a reason for the change?
