  1. Oh, oh, a first life one that comes around this time of year if you have obligations to see people that you don’t usually make an effort to see and you get to remember why that is… People who make jokes that really aren’t funny. Like super not funny, but of course if you point it out ‘oh gosh (Fauve’s Typist) that was just a little joke, wow you just can’t take a joke’. Rawr.
  2. Most humans are going to do this or that bad behavior occasionally. Because human. No one saying that we’re all saintly? It’s when they do it consistently, sock puppet consistently, and do it more than one person consistently and over time in thread after thread and continue to do it. That’s the difference. That’s not a fluke or occasional bad behavior, or having a bad day, or getting an a little tiff with one person here and there. Things we all do, but things that almost no one here does on a regular basis… But a couple of people do. If you can’t or won’t see that then I really don’t know what else I can say. I’ve tried to remain pleasant and give thought to this discourse, but I’m losing confidence in any effectiveness that I might continue to have here so there’s really no point in me replying further. The people that you’re giving the steadfast support to really don’t merit it.
  3. Ugh, sorry, cited. I’m about finished here anyway.
  4. ~Edit: End of fun reference to Cindy’s post~ @TDD123 - if I was going to pick a battle to fight on the forum, I don’t think it would be surrounding this one person’s behavior, frankly. If I flip the situation and imagine myself under the tender ministrations of said white knighting from said person, my first response would be nuuuu holy shizuuu please don’t defend me - go away go away go away. Because what they do isn’t really defending the person, it’s using the situation as a cover to poke out and punish others. There’s lots of evidence of that in past threads, the name-calling other people, taking very personal pokes at them etc. I don’t even have to say anything more negative than “go look at the body of work in her posts overtime”. So if you align yourself with that, I guess people will think that you approve of that behavior and be very wary of it. Can you blame them after they’ve watched what they’ve watched coming from this person? People here a very long memories. And they watch patterns of behavior over time. Now it’s extending into decades as second life ages. Are all those people wrong and mistaken? I don’t think so
  5. I’ve seen a couple of people do something like this, and I’ve seen one person consistently white knight in a strange way and I just blocked her after saying my piece, not getting through and just saying oh well. The worst name-calling in the whole exchange was me calling her auntie and her calling me pumpkin and that was that. My impression is that quite a few people have done the same thing with her. There’s always been one person who will never stop yelling into the void in every forum that I’ve ever been on so maybe I’m just used to it? But I guess I haven’t seen anything quite as bad as what you’re describing.
  6. I spoke about this yesterday in that I don’t think that it’s a ganging up so much as a gathering of individual replies, sometimes it escalates to a certain degree but I think that may be just in the nature of the medium, and not a form of bullying. My two cents anyway. I’ve completely agreed with several people who have also agreed with others in calling someone out on what is well-documented bad behavior - often admitted by the person committing the behavior even...and none of it was orchestrated, none of it was premeditated, but we all came to the same independent conclusion. That’s a general social behavior and not a form of bullying. When someone’s behavior affects others, they have the right to say some thing about it. If the behavior affects a bunch of people then there’s going to be a bunch of people having something to say about it. Still not bullying. So white knighting is uncalled for in these cases.
  7. When the containment container gets too full and smelly, you bring in a new container lock down the old one right? It works with event Porta potties 🤣. I’m always in favor of a containment thread. And I’m really going to try to use it correctly. So my peeve of the moment is same as OP. People who don’t use the thread as it was intended. But of course people will interpret it differently than I do. Which is also OK. See? how nice.
  8. Some of us have reconsidered our approach, so maybe that’s good news?
  9. Old is relative anyway...are we talking eggs-out-of-the-fridge old, reliable car old or star old? peeve: why are there no tacos? I was told there would be tacos. What kind of party is this anyway?
  10. Aws, party pooper! 🤣 But I do feel both of your peeves, gift-giving is supposed to be fun so why is it so often hard/fraught. This has been a solidarity peeve notice which undoubtedly will also peeve someone for not being an original and carefully timed and spaced hand-crafted peeve.
  11. Warm snuggly kitties. Bright first snowfall of the year that always makes things feel so new again. Precious scents - oils, resins, in smoke and water...they have the power to soothe me and ease my mind almost like magic. Winter birds. When I hear them in the morning it can set the tone for the whole day. A pink dawn sky.
  12. the robot is a bug now? Wow, deevolution. peeve: crappy human things. Aches, pains, annoying eye strains. is the singularity still happening? If so, could we could just get a fast track order on that....?
  13. Yes, it only requires a bit of research and some simple text editing. Most people don’t mind helping someone on SL things. But when the OP’s attitude was to complain first, insult a gift, then continue to act as the ‘choosing begger’ many of us will consider it excessive need for spoon-feeding and nope right out. Which is maybe why this thread was nt so helpful or forthcoming with good advice.
  14. We’ve known it was coming for a very long time so people can hardly have a legit beef if LL drops something that no longer even receives security updates.
  15. He really does, he looks like such a bad boy!
  16. Photo peeve: when SL screenshots on Flickr are marked public and safe for all viewers and they are definitely not. It’s just bad form. You really just can’t be arsed to correctly flag them? Gauche and sloppy. 🙄
  17. I know somebody who would wear this IRL, he was actually considering a blue one with snowflakes. Y’all are dangerous, just saying. You win the white elephant gift every time don’t you?
  18. Dude, those brows though, wow....thin neck too. 😳
  19. It’s a good look for you, I like both but Ike Alain best with your subtle changes. You did a really good job on that head. I think that it must’ve been close to what you were going for, and really works with the way that you moved the sliders. I think that’s half the battle with one of the mesh heads, choosing one out of the gate that will do what you wanted to do and not try to force a very different one into another path. That always looks odd to me. So this is a really good example of when it looks great.👍
  20. Same, @CaerolleClaudelI wasn’t making light of the predicament, more commiserating and riffing off of the ‘all life is suffering’ and dear (deity of choice) can the happenings of this year please end with it - vibe/theme. I hope your 2021 can be brighter, mine and everyone else’s too. 🥰
  21. It might have just been a business decision, maybe something that was a condition of the sale and/or the handoff to the new owners for all we know, same with uplift. Big ongoing projects needing to be wrapped up and rolled out before the end of year. Just guessing about those 2 things and the timing.
  22. ITT @CaerolleClaudelreveals the secret: The True Meaning of Life! 😉
