Oh yes you do.
And he kept coming back here, on alt after alt after alt.
And he was definitely NOT "reformed."
Oh him! I don't count him as someone that I know. I suppose we were both present at an event or two but I can't count that as knowing a person. I don't think we ever even had a conversation to speak of. Was he perma banned? I was long gone when it happened.
Well taking that into consideration, I stand by my previous statement, why take a chance of repeating such unpleasantness?

I don't know any reformed banned people. I don't actually know anyone who has been banned, reformed or otherwise. I cannot pretend to be able to judge their character, their remorse or their resolve to be better.
But I think the state of being permanently banned from participating in the virtual platform involved more than a single chance occurrence of bad behavior. Second chances were already given and abused prior to the permanent ban.
Why take a chance on a bad bet?

Are you certain? It made more sense from left to right.
Argh! I meant the other way around. Don't ask me for directions.

I took a long break from the forums but remained active in SL from about 2012 til whenever it was I came back to the forums a couple of years ago. Then I took a break from SL from about July of 2020 that I guess I'm still on. I login to SL about once a month or so now (used to log in daily for years and years). I read the forums every couple of days or so now, more often if there's an interesting thread I'm following, less often when there's not.

I do not decide to trust people based on their appearance. Trust is developed over time with communication.

So are we supposed to be impressed by that tabloid style header? Looks like something in the check out stand at the grocery store.

So, to recap:
Rent is is the periodic payment paid to anyone other than Linden Lab for your land in SL. You may have rights (to terraform, to sublet, etc.) granted to you by the owner or you might not, depending on the agreement you make with them.
Tier is the periodic payment paid to Linden Lab for land in SL. Somebody pays the tier to Linden Lab for any land in SL; if it's not you then you don't own it.

Some people are more talented than others. Some have more money. Some are smarter. How perfect their avatar looks is a combination of these things. When I see an avatar that I admire, I don't know exactly how they managed it until I talk to them. So no, it's not harder to talk to them.
If appearance is the only thing they want to talk about, I'll soon be bored and won't really want to talk to them anymore but that's not quite what the OP is asking about.

What's the best way to let someone know they ask inappropriate questions?
Just don't answer them.

Just now, Mollymews said:
some people do have tiny hands compared to the rest of their body, so am not going to say anything to them. In the same way I never say anything to anyone about how skinny their legs are
Exactly! Or how small their head is. Just as in real life, it's rude to comment on another's personal appearance.

The way some people just bring down the entire feel of the forums for me. Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.

I've limited the number of threads that I follow so I don't get dragged down by most of the drama. There are many topics that I just know are going to be more trouble than their worth. My first clue that there is some drama going on these days is when it spills over into the peeves thread.

Both. Back when I had land in Bay City, I've always had a skybox dressing room as well as multiple other levels. Now I have a belli home and I still have a skybox dressing room up above it. That's generally where I land when I log in and out.

I like old movies. I like old books. I love old friends. I often see new things that remind me of old things that were better. Does that make me old and jaded? Probably. I don't care.

I was in the hospital for Christmas, New Years Eve, day and didn't get out til 1/3/22. I didn't make any resolutions other than to get out and stay out of the hospital. Did that.
I think about my past, but I have no desire to re-live it. I don't think too much about my future because I have some tough stuff ahead of me and I'm not in a hurry to go through it.
I like to enjoy the simple pleasures that I have today like sitting by the fire with a good book, or going for a walk with a good friend.

Telephone rings: "Hello is Donald there?"
Me: "You have the wrong number"
Stranger on telephone: "Well maybe you can help me".
Yeah, sure, like I was born yesterday and never heard that sales call opening before.
Me cutting in before he can say anything else: "No I can't help you."
Stranger's voice rambling away as I disconnect.

Sorry for the super late response. I tried to think of an excuse, but I don't have one. I just haven't been online in awhile cause of the things, but Yes! I checked out my Linden Home, it's pretty cool, but I would rather have a skybox somewhere like I used to. Do we still get a plot of land somewhere for being Premium? I guess I can find out on my own, but I like talking to you.
If you choose a camper then you have 512 leftover to buy a bit of land anywhere. Otherwise you've used up your land allotment from Premium on the Lindenhome. You can put a skybox in the air above your Linden home if you want to. I think there are restrictions about how high in the sky but I don't remember what they are. High enough so that you don't impede people's view from the ground or air traffic, I think. That's what I do. It's my dressing room.

I'm not sure I understand what all the fuss is about. Is it because the lab chose Black culture as their first community to highlight? Or is it the idea of there being more than one SL community the thing that's got everyone up in arms? One of the reasons why people stay in SL is because they find other people here that they like and identify with and want to be around, in other words a community. So what's wrong with making it easier to find your community by giving them a page?
Of course I see there are those who worry about which communities will be selected, but it sounded to me like the lab is open to our input so if you want your community to have a page all you have to do is say so and perhaps offer information so they have something to put in the page.
Or are they reacting to the idea that if we highlight differences it's going to become a slugfest and will somehow take away their right to be xenophobic?

Is there anything more irritating than seeing a notice that you've been mentioned in a topic that was closed by the mods, then re-opened by someone who just had to get their last word in and closed and deleted by the mods again before you have a chance to see what was said?
