    This is just silly JeanneAnne. If you got your wish, there would be no SL. Now if you were talking about RL, then I'm right there with you.

    Hi, Caity! *waves*

    It's true. If her credibility was lacking before, it disappeared completely with her blog posts. Imagine: An official (!) Gang of Forum Thugs™ with a list of people targeted for harassment, supplied by a mod.

    Pathetic? Certainly. But not worthy of anyone's pity, only contempt.

    BTW, Katt: I find it very interesting that you can feel "sorry for" such a person and not feel sorry for the victims of her
    lies
    , and are also all too happy to join in the chorus that calls another old Forum poster "evil" and remain silent when someone in your circle publicly calls him a pedophile.

    I do feel sorry for the victims. And I would feel sorry for the old forum poster if I thought that he was hurt. I didn't witness the event in question.  I only heard about it because his supposed friends keep repeating the charge.  He doesn't seem to mind that.  I imagine that's because it's so ludicrous.  As for this chorus of "evil" chanters, I don't know what you are talking about. ;)

    Celest, indeed, she was a psycho paranoid personality....but I do laugh at the whole 'Hit Squad' thing (more names forthcoming).  During all of her ranting on her blog...not once...not once did any of her 'friends' call her on her insanity.  Their voices were silent and so she raged.

    She did not last long once mods moved in.  They had her number.

    Do you really think that her friends were silent?  I don't know, I wasn't her friend, but I imagine they talked about what was going on.  I doubt that any of them encouraged her.  I also doubt that she would welcome constructive criticism.  I'm sure that had any of them been foolish enough to publicly protest that they would swiftly become her next target.  While that might have been entertaining for some, I'm just as glad it didn't happen.

    I never liked her.  She attacked me when I was a noob, on my very first post in the forums. I guess maybe she thought I was a sock puppet or something but I don't care. It was mean.  I won't ever forget it, even though she erased the thread so there's no evidence of it. But mostly I just ignored her, her video replies rarely added anything to the conversation - so I stopped playing them.
     
    Later on I felt sorry for her, nobody deserves the treatment she got in various blogs that raked her over the coals.

    She attacked me on the GD forum, and not because she thought I was an alt.  To excuse her behavior by suggesting that she thought everyone was an alt is nonsense.   She attacked because she was an attack-pit-bull-personality, and she delighted in harassing, insulting, and belittling people.  After she attacked me, she persisted for 3 straight months, dogging my every comment with insults, digs, and trolling.  

    I left the GD forums for a while, and as soon as I posted there again, she started right back up with the same thing.Insulting me and comment stalking.  She did too scores of people, and made the GD forum a hellish place.  She posted vile insults to me and about me.  She went to off-site forums and posted stuff with my name, she posted a picture of my avatar, after she looked it, she profile stalked me.  Feel sorry for her?!  Never.  

    Plus, I saw what she posted about people in her blog and off-site forums..It was extremely insulting, name calling, etc.  She even did that to LL staff, personally, I think she got banned from here.  But, whatever is the reason, I say good riddance.  

     

    @ Jeanne..No my little flower-child, you are lucky you missed her.  She'd have taken one look at your posts and made your forum life pure hell.   

     

    I was not trying to excuse her behavior by any means.  I didn't like her or respect her.  Did she deserve the payback? I suppose she did.  I know that her behavior to me was typical and I guess she made lots of enemies that way.  But over time I watched her disintegrate and her feeble flailings were pitiful, so I felt sorry for her.  That doesn't mean I condoned her behavior.  Like I said, I mostly ignored her. So I suppose I missed the hurtful things she did to you, Celestiall, just like I missed most of her crimes against humanity.  It irked me that because she was friends with friends of mine that I sometimes had to say hello to her at concerts, but I like to be polite so I managed.

    I still think the horse was dead months before the blogs were done beating her.  But that's JMO.

     

    ETA:  On one thing we can agree.  I'm glad she's gone too.

    The comfortable level ( who do you trust?)

    I trust myself.  I share lots of details about my life with everyone, but never anything that can be used to identify me in RL. I have shared my RL identity with only a very few people that I have known for a long time and have not regretted it. 

    As for your hypothetical  rp1 and rp2, i'm sorry but i got lost and didn't really understand who did what to whom.  But the fact that someone thought it was ok to share someone else's private info in a group chat tells me that they are not the kind of people I would like to be around.  It's never ok to reveal someone else's private info without their express permission.

    Hair and hats

    I too yearn for good hat hair.  In my quest, I found a previous thread with some great tutorials on how to modify hair hats by our own Marianne Little.  I just wish more hair designers left the modify options open.  I've sworn over and over to stop buying hair that has no mod. But I'm terribly inconsistent.

     At last the truth comes out.  But the truth is I am a bit of a klutz.  I set up my laptop on my treadmill a couple of weeks ago and tried to do SL while walking. 

    Alas, it is not a perfect setup.  I've never liked the little scroll pad on my laptop, so first I had to get a mouse and hook it up, then I decided that as long as I was going to be comfortable, I should use a full size keyboard too.  It wasn't long before I hooked up a spare monitor. 

    That was way too much for little bungee-strapped shelf to handle so I moved the monitor back and higher.  Then I decided that the laptop didn't really need to be on the shelf either so it came down and all the shelf holds now is the keyboard and the mouse.  And my drink - but I'm still not really happy with the setup.

    For one thing, the speakers on my laptop are really inadequate.  So I managed to rig an old boombox up that hooks into the the headset plug. So now I am totally wired.

    But the temptation to lean into the shelf is very strong and  it really isn't that sturdy.  Not only that, my dog gets really excited watching me get ready to walk and wants to join me. I am afraid she will get tangled in all the wires. 

    All of this prep time and now I am finally ready to walk in SL, but I can only manage about 15 minutes at a time.  I've persuaded the dog to stay off but she watches me.  It is not so easy, the couch over there looks a lot more comfy.  Good thing I don't want to undo all these wires.  The temptation to sit is insidious.  I find my self weakening

    Death to couches!

    How did you come up with the name for your Avatar!

    The young Indian boy had spent most of his life in a quandry... He felt different yet... couldn't figure why... he was just so depressed. He went to the Chief for answers... He asked the chief how his brother Red Deer Running had gotten his name...

    The chief answered in his typically poetic way..."When Red Deer Running was born, at the moment of his birth, the first thing his mother saw was a beautiful deer running off into the forest... and so Running Deer was named. It is the custom of our tribe to name the offspring according to the spirits in nature visiting upon the birth."

    Then, the boy said to the Chief... And how did my sister "Thundering Bird" get her name? The chief described again, how at the moment of her birth Thundering Bird's mother had heard a roar of thunder and looking up, saw a bird flying in the sky...

    The boy asked again, how his cousin "White Crouching Bear" had been given such a name... And the chief, looking down once more at the boy, explaining the traditions of their tribe.... White Bear's mother had seen a rare white bear crouched over a stream at the moment her baby's birth. Then he asked the boy...

    "Why do you ask, Two Dogs F@#$ing?"

     

    But that's not how i chose my name.  Mine is a silly private joke on my real self.

    Stalking tools?

    Void, I think you are exactly right.  We only see the stalker when they guess right about where we are.  We don't see the dozens of times that they guess wrong.  So it seem like magic that they tp directly in front of you.  You don't know how long they hung around the region on the off chance that you might go there eventually and show up on there radar. 

    That is what stalkers do.  It sounds a little creepy, but I think most stalkers are harmless.  They just may be a little bit socially challenged or shy and have trouble saying "Hey I like you and want to know you better".  So they follow you like a puppy. 

    All you really need to tell your friend is to be gentle but firm and set some boundaries.  There is a little thing called stop animating my avatar in the world menu (don't know where it is in V2 or 3).  Use it and you can turn off any script that is running on you. 

    How Brand Loyal ARE You?

    in Fashion

    Posted

    I'm not sure if I am exactly brand loyal, but If I find that I have received a few free gifts that I really liked from a store, I tend to go back there when I have money in my pocket.  I remember the good stuff and I like to reward the generous creators of good stuff. 

    There's another thing I am quite good at remembering and that is when I've been unhappy with something from a brand.  For instance there are a couple of creators who are so paranoid about theft that they go "no mod" crazy and they make it impossible to fit their product to my avatar. Or they use too many unremovable scripts.  I won't even look at their merchandise anymore.

    Another one is shoemakers and their convoluted huds for skin matching.  I just don't want to work that hard to match my skin.  I am perfectly capable of making a perfect skin match if they'd only unlock the textures and give me the mod rights to do it.  I'm not a thief, but as I understand it these no mod features won't stop the determined thieves anyway, so why risk making your customers so frustrated?

    Joining a SHOP group / subscribo: what attracts you to it - and - keeps you in it?

    yeah, what Venus said.  Good job Venus.  I hate to be spammed.  I especially hate to be attacked by an overly intrusive greeter system.  If I want a landmark I will make one.  If I want to join a group I will look for the joiner. I do not want or need to be pushed the second I arrive.  It really is counter productive to use one of those systems. Put you landmark giver and your group joiner near the front door and don't harass your customers. 

     

    As for the group itself, concentrate on your product and share your enthusiasm with the group.  A really nice gift every three months is better than a crappy one every week.  Giving out one special color to group members of a new product is a method that has enticed me into the store to get the color i really want more than once or twice. 

    Good sales are the kinds of notices I like to get.  Or a really chatty note that tells me what you are excited about having made. Pictures are good too.  Just sending me your landmark every other day is a bad idea.  If I get more than one notice a week from a group I will turn off their notices. The only exception is Sn@tch, because I really do love to see what she is creating. and she is one of those savvy creators who puts out good deals on a regular basis.

    When I made my badge - I turned my back on the forum in order to show my disdain for the new setup.  Now I'm just too lazy to change it.  I've accepted the new setup, not that I like it all that much, but more of a meh sort of acceptance.
