    I keep trying to put a stop to it, Johnathan.  I get really tired of the off-topic personal attacks.  A lot of people in the forums and blogs just go crazy if you dare agree with anything Linden Lab says or does and launch into all kinds of nasty character assasination spam.

    I keep asking for it to stop, and I do abuse report some of it.  I keep any responses to it as short and light as possible, just a request to stick to the subject, and I do not get into the line by line off-topic crap the spammers keep demanding.

    As far as why people do this, you will need to ask them.  It's not something I do and not something I have any desire to participate in.

    It's a joke, fool.  I choose not to drag this public blog down by participating your self-absorbed twattle. btw, I count three spelling errors, six grammatical errors and logical fallacies too numerous to bother with in that mess you call your argument.  The only thing you have said that is of the slightest interest is that you will finally shut the hell up.  Thanks.

    It may be on-topic to point out that the traffic in a museum isn't the same as the traffic in a nightclub or residential neighborhood.  The purpose of the venue isn't the same, either.  Many of the activities of a museum may take place outside the museum venue, and that is the case for us. We are working with other groups and creating builds on other sims right now.  There will be more activity on our land in the spring when we open a show focusing on Mayan culture.

    (As far as our accounting, I can give you more information inworld if you need it.  We are operating under a fiscal sponsorship with a Native American foundation.  You would need to contact them for our records.)

    Actually, I didn't accuse you or anyone else of slander.  I said you are violating the forum guidelines, and you are.

    It annoys me when people who are so invested in sissyfight drama can't do it right.   It takes careful reading to sissyfight.  You have to quote your opponent's exact words. You can't make up quotes.  You can intentionally distort their intended meaning to score your hit, but you have to use their exact words.  Otherwise, you are an idiot.

    You should be careful about saying you support the public display of pornography because it does include some bad stuff.  Pornography includes some stuff even you may find inappropriate and offensive.  That is a fact.

     

     

    You need to watch the personal attacks, too.  It is important to hedge your allegations with words like "may" and "might be", or speak in general inference rather than directly attack someone's character the way you are attacking mine.  You are violating the forum guidelines.

    I think you are wrong.  You can have any kind of private conversation in IM  you want.  If you need to engage in explicit sexual activity, you need to do it out of public view.  That is simple, common courtesy whether there are children present or not.  No one should have to explain that to you.

    The population of Second Life is changing to reflect more of the general public. If it is going to be too difficult for you to conduct yourself in a manner that is acceptable to the general public, you may need to find someplace that has a different kind of population.   That's life.

    Brenna, I have wondered whether mainstream entertainment with streaming video will get involved in virtual worlds like SL.  It is a lot of fun to watch a show or game with a group of friends where you can get into group chat or private IM, hang out, go to other related events or do roleplay.   A Battlestar Galactica roleplay project got nuked recently in SL for copyright infringement, but it will not surprise me when the copyright holders start setting up their own shops here.  That is going to be a blast.

    Same with sports bars where you can watch games on a big screen with friends all over the country.

    There is so much you could do with this platform once it zips up, washes it hands and comes out of the restroom.

    Everybody sees porn as bad, else why are people talking about law suits and blackmail?  Why else would you be required by law to keep it behind closed doors away from children? Why would you be able to blackmail someone for being associated with porn if it was not considered a bad thing?  Even people who like it call it 'naughty' or 'dirty'.  People who sell porn in Second Life are acknowledging that it drives out other kinds of business right here in this thread.  It isn't just me who sees that.

    You know, Nanny, instead of offering a snarky, nasty, juvenile comment, perhaps you could attempt actually addressing Kyle's points.

    OK.

    I hope Linden Lab bans so-called Adult content from Second Life.  I am delighted that seems increasingly likely.  I am amused that the strongest arguments for removing porn from SL are being made by its supporters.

    Keep up the good work.

    Thanks.

    3. its sick because theres no reason they should be in a virtual world together. They have the real world right there...

    Actually there are a lot of great reasons for a family to be in a virtual world together.  First, because it is a world that is not right there.  It's somewhere else beyond right there.  It's across the planet or across the universe or way out there in someone's imagination.

    Why would anyone want to see someplace they have never seen before?  Why would anyone want to share their experience of brand new place with their family?

    You misunderstand the question.

    The core question is, does Linden Lab intend to operate a pornography business?

    Regardless of whether or when the company realized that is how their platform was going to be used, what do they intend going forward?

    Putting underwear on default avatars is an indication that they do not  want to continue to be seen as promoting pornography.  Whether their customers want that or whether porn is where most of their money is coming from, indications are Linden Lab does not want Second Life to appear to be a porn site.

    And I can see why.  Plenty of reasons have been presented in the blogs.  There are risks and embarassments associated with it.  They could be blackmailed. They could be sued.  They probably do lose potential legitimate business and prestige because of it.

    Very true, but those sites were specifically set up form the beginning for a mixed range of users and people all understood that going in. SL was not established with any such expectation and the users who have been in it for years all had certain expectations.

    Why would LL tattoo underwear on default avatars if they expected and intended Second Life to be a porn site?

    Read the post.

    He threatened to attempt to destroy the entire platform and everyone's work on it.

     

    You said earlier that you don't think removing Adult content from Second Life is a good idea. This is an example of why it would be.  Linden Lab would avoid blackmail threats like the one this person is making.
