Dammit! Michelle turned up as fantasised, but the football had started. I'll never know what I missed now, will I!

Void Singer wrote:I never saw martydom as selfless... merely as contributing without actually having to do anything else. All motives can be reduced to selfish ones with little effort, we just define selflessness as benefiting others more.
I had that conversation with a pupil of mine just this morning. We decided that the only true altruistic act could be one in which you gave up your life, as there would be no future benefit to you, although if you valued your reputation it might still be seen as self-serving. Of course, the abandoning of a virtual identity might represent an analogy with physical death, but the moral imperatives are vastly different.
I have a feeling that we are probably violently agreeing, as a sorely missed friend of mine might have observed if he was able.

You are right. I should be more specific. I should have said a FULL two-pint bottle of Jameson's 24 year old!

I must admit, what keeps me going is the expectation that one evening Michelle Pfeiffer will ring my doorbell dressed only in red lingerie carrying a bottle of Jamesons 24 year old in one hand and a bar of bacon-flavour body butter in the other, pleading for my renewed attention.
Preferably not tonight though, because there's football on TV.

Ah, you are a follower of the Copenhagen School. I am an admirer of Professor Carlsberg myself, his collapse processes having made a significant impact upon me during my younger and more impressionable days.

I am afraid that I have a very self-serving and pragmatic conscience and it is whispering in my ear that I should point those that suffered in the direction of Ann's blog.

Perhaps martyrdom would not be such a selfless act if the certainty of expulsion was anticipated as merely an assistance to the intended exit, the intermediate period of activity being considered a contribution to the cause, rather than a sacrifice. This attitude, of course, might be less foreboding if life after death was a viable philosophy - or even the certainty of a comfortable existence in the afterlife, with a comfortable view of mundane goings-on from an armchair in an alternative environment.

Does this mean that Ann's perception may not be the official line? Should I henceforth refrain from ARing members of Social Groups inworld? Should I start a thread asking for suggestions how I might be able to compensate those Social Groups and their members whom I have already reported?

I think we may have to wait a while until the recruitment and appointment of a new VP of Marketing for any constructive new direction, either in the forums or generally regarding SL, since the current one seems to have moved on and the post is vacant. I may be in error of course, but this and this seem to confirm my supposition. Thanks, Pep, for the heads up.

I beg to disagree. The oldest known game is that played between men and women, and does not require a board - and computers can't even begin to play it, much less beat a single human at it, mainly because humans haven't worked out what the rules are yet, and they keep changing anyway, and it's almost impossible to work out whether you have won or lost until it's too late.

It is against the ToS to impersonate a Linden, and against the Community Guidelines to encourage others to violate LL policies. It also probably annoys them when you can't be bothered to spell their name correctly.

The Community Guidelines include the following:
"We want to foster an honest and open exchange of ideas on our community pages"
"Help all Residents have a constructive and enjoyable conversation. "
"Spirited discussion and constructive disagreement are welcome"Since a thread discussing the nature of "griefing" in the forums has merely been locked, rather than deleted, the evidence is still available for members (and the public as well - historic snapshots of these forums are available via Google, even) to decide for themselves whether the official action was justified, or whether an argument might be made for it being actually considered harrassment, as proscribed by those Guidelines, in the light of the positive sentiments quoted above.

Ann Otoole wrote:There is code that fires. it needs to be made seperate. This is an ancient issue.
Are you saying that it IS possible to use a Land Group as a Social Group by there being no land ownership involved? What then is your moral stance on the use of Land groups as Social Groups in this way, if there is no opportuity for fraudulent behaviour by members relating to land?
Is it just a conceptual issue? Or is your abstruse and uninformative allusion to "code that fires" a short hand for some sort of stalking capability that LL has built in to the Group management mechanisms that might allow malefactors to track Social Group members without them being aware of it?
That it is an ancient issue is of no help to me or any of the other newer members of SL who may not have been around as long as you, and I feel that if you are bringing unequivocal opinions ("it needs to be made separate") to these forums you might have the courtesy to explain the basis for them, rather than dismiss the entirely understandable ignorance of others as irrelevant.
I am beginning to feel that this is less of a discussion than a crusade on your part.

Does a Group HAVE to be tied to land at the moment then?

Ann Otoole wrote:Never use land groups for anything except land management. If you want social groups then rerquest them via jira. Short of that absolutely zero is going to happen so don't waste your time.
OK, now I am getting confused again. Are there Land Groups that are different from other Groups? Are your concerns about Land Groups being used as Social Groups still valid when applied to Groups that don't own any Land? Is there a danger that a Social group might spontaneously convert into a Land Group (or vice versa) with the opportunity for callous fraudsters to inveigle their way into the confidence of owners of Land Groups and use the techniques, that you are publicising, to steal Land?

CanI quote you as an expert reference to LL when I AR all those I come across who are flagrantly abusing LL's systems?
