RudolphUkka

I have a * answer to the * thread question. It seems to be * Viale Linden, who has taken over the * Adult User meetings and uses the * community@lindenlab.com email address which suggests that he has accepted the * poison chalice from Lexie after it was forced into her grasp following * Amanda's peremptory departure. *** Rudi *** Isn't LinkedIn useful! ***

Although the * question in the thread title is * relevant to the whole of the * forums, it is * apparent that the * thread has been moved here from another * "invisible" * forum. If that hasnow been * opened up please post a * link to it, so everyone can see how * boring it is. *** Rudi ***

I think that Prok keeps mentioning me. Well, although she doesn't necessarily spell my name correctly, she does keep asking "Who is that Rudolph Ukka?" *** Rudi ***

Sy, it's * obvious that you have * got it, and although Del's * theory is * interesting, it might be of more * relevance to a * Dr Who scriptwriter. *** Rudi The Mod* ***

Doggy-fashion parade *** Rudi ***

* Working at * MacDonalds even is more * llucrative and more * interesting than any * job in * SL *** Rudi ***

Storm, it appears that you have not yet got the * point of the single * asterisks, although neither have the * moderators either. Try replacing them with something else. *** Rudi ***

Pam: YOu say you have RICed people because someone quoted you without permission. *** I would go further than asking the * mods here to send a note to anyone that has the * temerity to quote me, or to use my * name in vain, without having the courtesy to request my approval in advance and I am going to insist that * NO ONE should google my name either as being able to read stuff about me is a * infringement of my personal sensitivities and you should * cease and desist immediately. *** Also don't call me Rudi, only my mother gets away with that; you use my full * name and wait for the letter from my lawyer or an email from the * Moderator Team. 888 Rudi - and that's Rudolph Ukka to you! ***

This * thread reminds me of a * recruiting poster for the * South African army *** "Go to faraway foreign lands, appreciate the exotic culture, meet fascinating people and . . . * kill them." *** Rudi ***

Del, I am 300 pages into Steven Pinker's "The Blank Slate" (200 more to go, so I can't be absolutely sure) and I think that he offers answers to the questions you are asking. *** They may not be all the right answers, as he would be the first to admit, but they make sense as far as they go.. *** Rudi ***

morganalyn said: im goth not emo dip**bleep** *** OK so I got it * wrong. You are actually * looking for something * shallow and meaningless. *** That works for me. *** You are up to 328 in the * queue now as it seems to be moving a bit * faster since some interfering * posted a * message in my * fanclub group with a * link to this * thread. ***Rudi ***

I am sooooo * with ya, Storm! *** What we * need is more * discrimination, not * tolerance like those * ladies you keep * talking about seem to * want. Why can't we have a * male * Community Manager and Moderation Team (everyone knows that * Mike is actually short for * Michaela) and send the * girls and the * GIRLs to a nice * forum in a tented * city somewhere where they can * whinge to each other about men not * listening to them, or always leaving the * toilet seat up. *** Or have I got this * wrong, and you are not wearing a * pink dress in protest at the * metaphorical emasculation of male * values in this * forum? *** Rudi ***

* morgannalynn said: im looking for something meaningful *** Sorry morgannalynn you are not a true * emo, as if you * were, you would be * searching for something * deep and meaningless. *** I got your message morgannalyn. You are 346th in the * queue, which means we will porbably get around to * servicing you in * fall of 2015. *** Rudi The Painfilled ***

* Eloise said: Steve Jobs was an inspirational speaker and made people think. *** So was * Hitler. But* Hitler was more * open about his * lying, cheating and * stealing. *** Rudi ***

Contact me inworld and I will send you a * notecard that lets you * know where you are in the * gf queue. *** Rudi The Visigoth ***

The * difference between * Amanda and * Lexie was that Amanda would * say she would * do something, and then would either get it * wrong or change her * mind and * say that she didn't actually * mean what she had * publicly and * undeniably said, whereas Lexie never * said she would do * all, preferring to say she'd * consider it and then * hope noone would * remember to * ask about it again, or get * fed up of banging their head on a brick * wall. *** Not having * CTUG meetings just saves * time, and means the more* naive aren't left desperately * hoping that something will get * done, when it * won't. *** Rudi ***

Ziggy21 said: "it appears to have been written by someone who has possibly never consumed alcohol and has certainly never been drunk." * ZIggy21 couldn't have been more * wrong if he' said that the * sun rose in the west. *** Kate Fox is not some * tyro * BBC * journalist but a well-respected and credible * social * anthropologist who wrote the * amazing "Watching The English" and gets * paid to get * drunk and jump * queues, and ask people in * supermarkets if they have had * sex in the workplace. *** But then, you can't even * spell "sober" correctly, so you were probably * drunk when you posted your * misguided opinion. *** Rudi ***

I know how it can be * done. But I am * not likely to * tell you or anyone * else how to do it in a public * forum, am I? *** Rudi ***

All * studies of * stereotypes have concluded that there was a reasonable * justification for the stereotype. *** Which is why girls * cry and * whinge and * nag and men don't. *** Rudi ***

"There may be some doubts about Mead, but there are more about the author of the book you cite: Derek Freeman"? *** Only * ex post facto ad hominems gushed from the * terminally * embarrassed * feminist pseudo-scientists who had rushed to * embrace the naive (23 year old) girl's * admixture of * gossip, lies and * practical jokes * which she had * presumptuously presented as "research". *** Freeman totally discredited Mead's * fairy stories, and suffered the nascent equal opportunity establishment's * opprobium as a * consequence. *** The * book could be * accused of similar slipshod narrative-based argument, because "everybody tells the * truth in SL", don't they, and anyway, the book is as * relevant as a discourse on the use of * bows and arrows in modern * warfare. *** Rudi ***

And you think this makes less * sense than * "After Upton walked and Andrus reached on an infield chopper, Reddick flied out to a short stop behind the foul line and Napoli was caught stealing second"? * girls game. *** Rudi ***

"Seem to me ,somebody is not just attacking spelling and grammar, but report person too.....Well carry on mister Arazo." *** Please could someone * translate this * incomprehensible * nonsense into * English please? *** Rudi ***

So one * CEO gets rid of the * bots, numbers * plummet * lag doesn't get any * better and the next * CEO decides to bring the * things back. *** Rudi ***

@Deltango: While I am * loving the non * paranoid attitude you (and the other * smartass * Brits are bringing to this * thread discussion, I must disagree with your assertion of an SF void (no relation) existing since the 80s. I would point to Charles Stross (well, his harder stuff) and most definitely China Mieville both, unsurprisingly, Brits, and Orwellian in the political undercurrents of their writing (look at their personal websites, particularly the latter, which are extremely socially concerned) as exceptions, even if they are vitual oases in a metaphorical desert.>br> *** Rudi ***

I * hope no one too * sensitive from these * forums has come across * Officer Crabtree from * Allo Allo, or was it just the * way he was * redubbed in the * South African version? *** Rudi *** Oh and * off tout. * "translate that" any way you * like. ***
