    Stay away from me and you'll hear nothing of me again, as you well know. It's you who keeps coming up with new alts to antagonize people with - not me. It's you who keeps barging in to anything I write - not me. Buzz off already, I want nothing to do with you or your brainless turds of sock puppets who follow your every move in case they miss an opportunity to kiss your skanky behind like the mindless minions that they are.

    Didn't initially recognise the style eh? So much for your ******* perspicacity. It's a ******* shame, isn't it, just when you think it's safe to go back in the ******* water, the ******* shark is still lurking - in plain sight, too!

    I don't have minions, by the way; I have admirers - hundreds of them, thousands possibly, although only a very few are stupid brave enough to stick their heads above the parapets and admit that they are amused by my antics. They generally tend to be literate, which rather excludes you from consideration.

    why do you feel the need to create a new online identity?

    That's the problem, when you're pretending to be ******* female you have to pretend to use your ******* reptile brain to spell badly.

    Actually, everybody knows that women aren't ******* uber-hysterical (check out the etymology of hysterical, too; it's hysterical) because their ******* brains are wired differently. It's because their ******* grey matter is moved around inside their ******* craniums by the tidal action of the moon.

    [it's good to see that not only females, but also males attempting to emulate females suffer from a severe dual lack of sense of humour and proportion. My allusions to reptiles generally channel David Icke's conspiracy fantasies. Also, the Internet did not exist in 1984; I have read the book.]

    I feel so lonely. Nobody takes any notice of me in the forums, never responding to my posts, nor making rash accusations regarding my identity, nor talking about me behind my back when they don't realise another of my alts is listening in group chat . . .

    You see, this is what happens when a couple of sensitive souls go and complain that they have been targetted as naive, because they are members of furry groups (not my interpretation; the result of analysis by someone much more concerned than myself) by a pretty inconsequential and unconvincing currency spammer.

    If only they had just closed their inboxes for a couple of days the frustrated spammers would have realised they were wasting their time and looked for more lucrative pastures. Instead EVERYONE is being penalised by having the functionality of their SL experience reduced.

    I presume that LL took action, not because of the repeated spam postings complaining about the phenomenon, but because the spammer made the tyro's mistake of trying to sell Lindens to a Linden . . .

    FIFY!

    And not at all; you are absolutely correct and it's merely an arcane form of punctuation. Anybody who might think otherwise and interpret it as some sort of coded communication has either got an extremely vulgar turn of mind, or is being paid by the NSA to try and decrypt the secret messages I am sending.

     What do you mean by the "second self"?

    She's obviously doing research following up Sherry Turkel's now antiquated (first published in 1984, when there wasn't an internet!) treatise on human-computer interaction, generated principally as a result of her hanging out and eating pizza with geeks in MIT.

    The book's title "The Second Self" was almost certainly the inspiration for naming Second Life, although Philip Rosedale would probably deny it as he might have to pay royalties.

    Well, I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised when the poem I wrote, entitled

    , which I submitted to the
    forum contest, was chosen as the winning entry.  If you feel it's good enough for you to use, I would again be pleasantly surprised.  Let me know.

    You tore that one down, Dres. It's good to know that there is some ******* talent lurking in these ******* forums.

    LL, attempting to provide FB-like facilities, has disastrously made a rod for its own back with the publicly viewable (it's not just SL inhabitants that can access them, nor global secret agents checking whether you are a suitably responsible person to be teaching children) Profile Feeds, as their avowed policy of non-intervention in inter-avatar disputes puts them in a cleft stick.

    Whereas IMs are considered private and should not be republished in LL properties, profile communications have the capacity to be either private or public, depending upon the choice of the avatar - although most do not actually realise that they have the ability to restrict their communications using a number of Settings, and neither do they realise that those communications are universally visible, and in particular that they are potentially arbitrarily republished in Trending for all to notice.

    It is easier for LL to ignore the Profile Feeds (See no evil, hear no evil, and so speak no evil) than to attempt to proactively moderate them. Look at the problems they have with these forums, which are also universally viewable to the detriment of their public reputation, and are commercially exploitable - as the recurrent waves of spam demonstrate only too conclusively.

    Having said all that, the publication of an image of another avatar without their consent (whether in an embarrassingly compromising position or not) is an issue that has been discussed extensively, even before the recent changes to the Terms of Service. In fact, it is a moot point whether the "friend" in question could actually sue LL itself, since they now own the rights to everything in LL, and are thus responsible for that image and the naive stupidity of "your friend".

    I'd like a reference for which government it was spying on their own people 400,000 years ago. Or even 40,000. 

    I think the Galactic Republic had every right to be concerned about the activities of both revolutionary and reactionary movements.

    And what about those reptiles who built the land bridge between Asia and North America; do you think they were voluntarily laying down their guano? I don't think so! They were obviously oppressed slave labour, being exploited by the "visitors from another place", whose brains were situated closer to their eyes than their *******.

    Pep just called me to point out that this vindicates his belief that he is the most sympathetic, flexible, unassuming, non-confrontational, and honest character that his author has ever created. Thank you for recognising this, Ken.
