The clue is in the title, so I am happy to see a discussion about generally anything, including repeated topics or questions. I am less happy with supercilious posts pontificating how the plebeian hordes should behave. As I said in the OP: "GD is for the expression of opinions (although not necessarily accurate, coherent or friendly ones) and the interactive exchange of viewpoints on issues which may have no deterministic resolution, particularly given the spectrum of (non)emotional and political attitudes which forumites possess." You are entitled to your opinions, you are entitled to express them as part of the discussion here, and you are entitled to be considered inaccurate, supercilious, unfriendly and tiresome by me and just as much of a pleb as those with fewer posts to their name. I should add that Drake would probably have considered your post as trolling if it were posted under my name; funny that... So we agree, excellent! In so much, a discussion here can be about generally anything, including yours and any other person, and we're both entitled to our opinions. I am pleased that you can now see it is entirely unreasonable to expect those of less knowledge than yourself, to follow rules that aren't posted anywhere. Carrry on posting, re-ask your questions, cover topics covered before - it's allowed!

Putting to one side your original question was answered, AR them, many thanks for the update which adds more peanut butter to the peanut butter sandwich. Irrespective of the peanut butter level, or even in fact the very reason for the existence of the peanut butter, or your views on the peanut butter, you were told about the peanut butter. So thanks for the extra helping of the peanut butter. You should still AR them.

There is the weirdest echo in here. I am looking for a friendly penguin family to waddle about in that way they do. I'd rather like fish and sharing of fish catching stories. At other times, I should like to go off and indulge in my other hobby: pretending to be other people, and yet with the same goal, the penguin thing.

Great, child friendly pubs and having to put up with them there, now new SL, is there nowhere one can escape the annoyance of others' children? -

Well, at least this thread has not been boring, it's already had more tangents than a trig lesson :matte-motes-smile:

I think the title says it. I remember some brilliant, fascinating discussions here once. What do we have lately? - OMG I think voting things are unfair and my mummy agreed - Things are really laggy and I'm too stupid to realise my comp is basically a pile of outdated rubbish - What is the best graphics card because, really I want to boast about the one I am buying - I complained about something on marketplace and the seller has banned me. Long time since, when the general discussion forum was removed I was one of those campaiging it be brought back, with the benefit of hindsight - good call ;-)

Voted at contest but the person didnt win

Laughs again. My point was, get some perspective. Really, look outside your own mind and get some. If that was cruel, or some sort of forum gang mentality, check my posts, I post rarely. Sometimes however, I do think it worth pointing out: get some perspective. Sims in SL are owned, so ultimately, and oh so unfairly ther owners can do whatever they want, their rules. Unfortunately, take it or leave it. A bit like life, when mummy is no longer your landlord. A bit like life when you don't have a mummy, a bit like life life when you are persecuted for being who you are: a fair individual. If you don't like a sim, or their competitions are biased, move on. Hopefully also you have finished writing your name on the foods in the fridge. -

OMG! Being gay in many countries can get you a prison term, people in some countries are starving to death, children are globally abused, women are globally subjugated and the weather is generally **bleep**. I think I am overreacting, I'm off to look up near earth asteroids. -
Yes, the SLRR (Second Life Rail Road). If you look for a sim named "Purple" you'll find that has a station at the end of the line, where the ferry goes over the sea.

Yes! Our Highlands of Scotland sims of Inverness and Urquhart. As the introduction of the steam railways in the rl Highlands of Scotland were a very important part of opening up the Highlands to holidaymakers in the 19th century, I made sure we had our very own SL Highlands Railway, and had a lot of fun building it. The journey takes you around both sims and along the banks of Loch Ness. Brody Castle Railway Station

Is there anyone I can hire to place my sky box?
Magnus Brody replied to LaceyCadaver's topic in General Discussion Forum
Good of Lisa to offer, I would have too. Tip for the future, if it happens again. Show land borders permanently, then rezz it on the ground, fit it into the dimensions of your parcel, sit on it, then in EDIT type in the height, switch off show land borders - job done. -
Hi Drake - get in touch with Hippie Bowman. I believe he does classes. He's a great guy and if he can't help you, he'll definitely point you in the right direction. Another friend of mine, Doug Kaptane, used to do one-to-one tuition, so he's worth contacting too.

People who don't look good using RL profile pictures?

Magnus, are you really sure? there are rumours about me, that I always wear a towel with me. ..and talking about a Deep Thought. And Aphrenity even did't decline, he just ignores me...what a loss. Perhaps because I have no wedding dress. I always carrry a towel, and in case of hyperspatial travel: 5 pints of beer and a packet of peanuts. -

Will you marry me? Let's do it immediately. (And to all the other women here, who are also seduced by Aphrenity's personality... -I asked first. Please wait in the line.)

I suppose it depends why you are in SL, I'm here to be myself with anyone I meet and neither feel too ugly nor too old to withhold my rl pic. Perhaps that's because, at the massively ancient (mature) age of 49, I no longer make the kind of shallow judgements I did when in my late teens and twenties, a time when I also thought anyone over 35 was old. I'm more interested in personalities, intelligence, humour and even a bit of mature discussion: the kind of mature discussion that can be had with someone who has grown up enough to realise that looks aren't everything. Of course, being massively old my primary motivation for being in SL is not continual puppy dog enthusiasm that I may just have met an avi controlled by a Penthouse Pet, so I don't feel a need to hurriedly click to see what the rl looks like. That's because I'm interested in the person, rather than whether they are ultimately worth my time because of their looks. Experience has taught me that a lot of elderly and ugly folks, some even older than 40 (!!!) can be quite interesting. I don't know why that is? I mean when I was 20-odd I presumed everyone older was really boring, and clearly had let themselves go a bit. I certainly didn't want to waste my time talking to them. Now however, I have clearly let my standards slip, or perhaps I've grown up. -
Easy, be yourself. That's why you have it Hippie
