Yes shouting always helps, :) I will no longer be commenting.

Fachism is same in any open, closed or even crazy sim or gov. Result is always same. And not try to hide fachism or socialism sins behind private property or democracy. We is not dudes!

There is no agenda at play here, I have been in opensim nearly as long as Dorena, I have watched her post for years and never seen her under attack. The "people at play" since Glenn fight are trolls who want to silence her, this is what I am taking such offense at, she is constantly under attack now since the Glenn fight, he has been banned yet she continues on posting messages to him here at OSW when he cannot reply. Making it all public for months. Opensimworld isn't the place for public fighting is the point I am making. The comments deleted were ones I commented to her, 3 she then explained someone commented vile so she had to remove it, the reason you are seeing what you term ranting from me is because of comment removals, it looks like ranting when she does this, makes the person replying look like a ranter. Why all this needs to stop it takes conversations out of context then people are misunderstood.

This is a Opensim public forum not a battleground I know your stance of stand up and fight, but fight who? All of "us" cause Glenn cannot post now. Suzi said it was to flush out Trumpistas, I am not one and even if I were this is not the place for that, Opensim is international I doubt they will flush out that many here.

I don't like to see my friends attacked. She made it obvious she will continue, I will close the window now, this is what I wanted to avoid. The trolls all are doing the good ol bait and switch routine with comments and she is now doing this to all her friends (she has to when they spew the hate towards her) I replied to you to try to clarify yet once again, with all my comments I would think you would see my true motive which is wanting to keep a friend from spiraling down the hate path with the trolls. And taking us with her, this is when I close that door.

Is that the penalty you think should be suffered by those who do as you have been doing? The original archaic meaning of a witch was: "archaic : to influence or beguile with allure or charm". Do you feel it is what you have been doing with your threads and posts?

Rise up means to rise up above negativity. It started when your views were attacked. Nobody is trying to silence you, my hope is that you would rechannel and focus to positive opensim related topics, since this is Opensim and it is mostly a fantasy world, RL topics belong in RL platforms. You are hellbent on "feeling" we are all out to attack you, not all of us. I have been here a long time too, Opensim was not founded on politics or religion it was founded by collaboration and free and opensource software. Lets just keep it focused on what it is.

I disagree. Too many people already feel much more valued than they deserve to and knocking them down a peg or two isn't negative, it's positive.

But we are real people behind the avatars, so I don't understand the separation.

I only delete insults to a large extent, and if some of the comments disappear, they disappear automatically. The same thing happens when others delete their comments, so don't blame me alone for this kind of chaos.

It's not that the issues of the world are unimportant, but rather that Opensim is often not the appropriate venue for such discussions. Exposing Trump supporters at Opensimworld? So what will that accomplish exactly? Many users come here specifically to escape the constant barrage of real-world concerns, seeking instead a space where they can relax and engage with others in a different, more positive way. There are more opensim supporters here than Trump or Putin.
