SL should be a place where people can feel safe exploring parts of their lives that they cannot safely or comfortably explore in their first lives. <br /><br />I've noticed a lot of the bullies haven't been around lately. Not sure if they've been banned, changed their personas, or relocated.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about my blog. I will try to write more sometime soon, but to be honest, I haven't been on SL much lately for a lot of reasons, this being one of them. Thank you for reading.Perry Proudhonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947858289329922002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880243662952265847.post-86102227093805781952009-08-02T14:10:45.436-07:002009-08-02T14:10:45.436-07:00I too sometimes go to the WA (ahern) as a convenie...I too sometimes go to the WA (ahern) as a convenient place to just sit and wait for freinds to logon.<br />Or at least I was.<br />My SL identity is as a Shemale Dancer at a club.<br />your comments about racist and homophobic abuse are sadly true.<br />Some may say I bring it on myself. After all I chose my identity and SL lifestyle.<br />Does that give others the right to call me names in open chat,IM or verbally when all I do is sit in a corner to wait.<br />Time and time again the same people are there,pushing newbies off walls or hassling them with their "thats so funny" "LOL" chat.<br />also there are those who are using the scripts or alternate viewrs that are a favorite with bullies that enable them to eject or TP people away. It a weird experience to find yorself suddenly flying away thru the air with someone sniggering with their freinds.<br /><br />This is never going to end. My solution so far has been to remove my group tag before entering the welcome area. Which works until one of the "bullies" checks my profile.<br /><br />You write some interesting thought provoking matrial and it is sad that your blog hasn't been updated in a while.Mondynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880243662952265847.post-11159776419659813152009-01-01T11:36:00.000-08:002009-01-01T11:36:00.000-08:00Freedom of speech...democracy is never simple and ...Freedom of speech...democracy is never simple and is always messy.

It really is amazing how little LL does to keep SL safe and enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>To the protesters, including Abel, you are welcome.<BR/><BR/>I will accept Anonymous comments, but if they're mindless claptrap like the one I deleted, I'm sorry, but I won't leave them here. I don't intend the comments section of my blog to become exactly the same as the area I'm writing about.<BR/><BR/>I understand a notecard with my post is making the rounds. That's great.

Really interesting and ...I do love your post Perry! Really interesting and thoughtful.<BR/>It's a shame that the Lindens don't do anything for the residents' wellness, like enforcing basic rules against content theft, working at a half decent viewer, you name it. They just hired an executive in charge of the "first hour experience improvement" Maybe they should simply insure the safety and welcoming of new residents in Welcome Areas. Too simple maybe? or not generating profit enough?<BR/>All LL do is working on their profits.Ben Vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582257759265348477noreply@blogger.com
