Just to add really quickly that is takes a certain amount of arrogance to think that I just must not have understand you the first time, so you just have to say it again and I'll agree. Disagreeing for a discussable reason is not the same as being offended and saying it expecting others to change because someone didn't like that something was said. That was a painful sentence to write. I hope it makes sense.

I love the Make Us Laugh thread.

I am tired of seeing people enter a thread not to add to the discussion happening, but to just say how offended they are. What is the intent of the person entering if not to stop the discussion? I couldn't care less about tone in a written platform. <-- this idea is not new for me, but goes back on the forum for nearly 10 years. Tone is subjective. @Beth Macbain it is not sudden or new. You can look at my posting history for proof. It is too bad that you took this as a personal attack. It wasn't. No one person was singled out. I was careful not to, in fact. What was singled out is the idea that someone being offended is enough to stop a conversation. This same idea has been brought up at least 3 times on different threads and each thread had disgusted and insulted people saying the idea should not be up for discussion. I take offense at that not at the person.

I am not fussing at anyone. Then is this a question of miscommunication? I thought it was for this entire thread. A few people have come in, read it, then proceeded to say they were offended and this shouldn't be discussed. Nothing is directed at Selene. I did not call a person out, but the idea that this can not be discussed.

Nope, I reported it 10 minutes after he posted it. That was a jerk move for personal profit.

It is in a thread with funny Covid-19 memes. Yes, it's related to every other post.

Okay, so no discussion on providing alternatives for communicating or socializing?

Sure. Okay. If you don't have an opinion on why this post shouldn't exist, it's okay.

No one is making fun people who are ill, dying or dead here either. "Bring out yer dead" No one has to spend money here either, but if it is a side effect of offering the platform as an alternative communication method, then it is. Now if someone had suggested raising prices to gouge others, then even I would have said it was a bad move. Do you guys really think that this discussion should be censored and everyone who commented should be shamed?

It's okay that you are repulsed. I am enjoying that thread. (there is another response in between because we were both tying at the same time) What I don't get is why that is acceptable and this isn't.

It's an honest question. I really don't understand the difference. The people coming in here to try to shame people into not having this discussion are over in another thread laughing about the same thing. I am really enjoying the Make me Laugh thread. Just wanted to say that.

And yet you are laughing at misfortune in the Make me Laugh thread. I don't get it. I don't understand. Is laughing at misfortune/death/disease/hoarding somehow different than discussing options for communication? No one has to read this thread at all, but a few have come in to say others shouldn't discuss this because they disapprove. Did I miss where someone wants people to die for greed?

Isn't the 1 year anniversary of Bellisseria in mid-April? Maybe it is an anniversary gift 😁 There appears to still be a lot to do to prepare the new area. Lots of empty space to fill in. If they opened it tomorrow, they would still be working to fill in those areas around all the people trying to move in and decorate.

Sort your recent tab to show anything bought over the last 21 days. You'll find all the stuff you just bought that will never all fit in the house. At least that's what I'm hoping to do...

They mentioned a graphics glitch when the water line was different. My guess is it is the level of the sea everywhere in the new land mass. I hope so. I was really happy to see and the inland water.

I took the Price vic with an alt and will hold it for a few hours to keep it from popping up.

Maybe we've passed "soonish" and "soon" and moved on to "very soon." I'll just wait patiently for "really very soon."

That necklace kind of looks like a preschool craft project. Beads big enough that even tiny toddler hands can string them.

A small falls in Permaglow. At least 1 neighbor is taking this story seriously.

1. Victorians (best landscaping) 2. Campers (they would be #1 if they had a larger parcel) 3&4.Tie for last place. I am just not a beach, sun, and sand kind of person and the trads are kinda boring. I've never kept either of these for more than a day. I do continue to try for that breathtaking view, but no keepers. When the lodges are released, they will take over #1.

Some interesting ideas have been brought up. Some of them the lab was already working on before the Covid scare and before this post was made. They've been working on broadening their advertising for months with static and video ads for niche markets as well as some for more mainstream viewing. Then suddenly many people are stuck at home and it's a chance to see just how flexible that advertising can be. It is an opportunity to offer an alternative to people needing another way to communicate. There is nothing wrong with reaching out and offering the platform as one of many alternatives. You can view it as altruistic or piggish. Your choice. -Cinn Oh - In this case (and many others) it does not matter that some think these ideas are abhorrent, in bad taste, or offensive. It doesn't matter how you think it came across. It's okay that you feel that way, but it is not okay to tell others that you think they should not discuss those ideas because someone does not approve of how it was brought up. No one has to stay and read material that is offensive to them. No one is minimizing the dangers of illness, dwindling economies, or loss of life.

Trad in the sand going back next at 9:10pm SLT. (yes, I'm just bouncing around a bit after work) Nice view right across from the beach. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Twilling/144/180/0

Letting this houseboat go at 8:30pm SLT. Great view. Little piece of land attached. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sea Ya/100/20/0

Hey friends! Doing well here. Working my regular job even with the lockdown and social distancing. We're currently not open to the public, but animals need to have clean areas, be fed, and get enrichment. I find I don't miss the public at all 😀 I hope everyone else is able to make the best of current situations.

Just picked up a trad in Innskeep. The trads are my least favorite house style, but I figure if I get that amazing view, I could deal with it. While this one has no water in sight, it is the only house on the block. I'm going to give it a try and see if inspiration strikes. Thanks to whoever gave it up.
