Weird things happening (harassment?)
BilliJo Aldrin replied to angelikiinha's topic in General Discussion Forum
Never mind, I misunderstood what you meant, but I'll leave the rest of my reply anyway You can orbit someone in any place that you are allowed to rezz, on estate or mainland, owner or not. Drop by my mainland place sometime and I'll show you, assuming the hornets don't get you first. Of course if you do it on land you don't own, and do it without permission, then it is considered griefing. So, I would never ever do it. -
Road trip/voyage of discovery - advice?

I read that as Aero's Golf. Considering the size of some of them, that could be an alternate use for them. -

My fave vehicle is a derigible I bought. Its tres cool and flies so slow that you can easily follow Linden roads from an altitude of 100 meters. I've flown across literally hundreds of sims with no problems. If you go slow enough you can even fly cross country and check out parcel permissions as you approach them -

Sometimes when you hit a ban line you get ejected and the vehicle is stuck against the property line. I just leave it there, the property owner can return it. Then I walk to the next rezz zone and rezz a new copy. Never ever buy a no copy vehicle. -
Granted, but you don't get to enjoy nude avatars as you wait for their clothes to rezz I wish to think up a forum topic that doesn't eventually turn into a "Lets get BJ thread"

What are some of your pet peeves?
BilliJo Aldrin replied to Ivy Mysterious's topic in General Discussion Forum
Thinking up some really good replies to a thread you are involved in, coming home, sitting down, logging in, then finding the thread got locked -
As usual, this topic has shown that everyone thinks THEIR way is the correct way to "play" second life, and if you do it different, you are *--insert insult here-* Nothing ever changes, only the topic. I don't criticize how others do things, but there are so many people that "know better than me" and feel justified in heaping their scorn on my choices. Carry on everyone, because I shall

Once again, there are no private areas on my property. I saw the hornets nest, and thought it would be a fun addition to my land and bought it. I suppose if i was trying to be mean, I could have just started a thread in destinations, "come visit my pretty nature area", then laughed at all the people the hornets got.

People in SL have an exaggerated sense of entitlement. Everything has to be exactly the way they envision it or all hell breaks loose. Its not at all hard to imagine someone complaining that they were griefed because they were pushed by the person that owns the parcel they were standing on at the time. I've seen innumerable post complaining about zero notice security orbs, as if your rights were violated because you were instantly ejected from a private parcel. Many many people in SL claim it is their absolute right to go anywhere they want and if anyone impinges on that right someone must be made to pay. My parcel is open access, until the hornets get you. Don't like it, don't go, Go, and get pushed off, too bad, so sad. The only chaos being caused in this thread is by people looking for another chance to "get BJ".

The point is, if I had a security orb that pushed you off the property it wouldn't be griefing, I didn't rezz the nest for security, but since it acts like an orb, I can't be accused of griefing for having it. You know, I could have just as easily asked the question without referencing my own land at all. Rest assured, next time I ask such a question, I won't make any mention of my own circumstances

I certainly hope I'm not "typical". I take great pride in not being typical. But, seriously? People stop and read the about land before crossing a property line? I just walk across. If an orb tells me to leave, then I leave. If not, i figure it's open to explore. If i get half way across and get attacked by killer bees or a rabid dog, or zombies, i just laugh and move on.
