I...Thanks, G!<br /><br />Brinda-- That must have been tough!<br /><br />I'm fortunate not to have ever been bullied and happy not to have ever bullied anyone. Lucky.<br /><br />Sorry for not responding before, I missed it somehow.Cheyenne Palisadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857731023321638792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780662684766869666.post-39732594250700138142011-04-10T23:12:49.986-04:002011-04-10T23:12:49.986-04:00Chey, I was 5ft/8 in the 8th grade and genuinely h...Chey, I was 5ft/8 in the 8th grade and genuinely hated because I was taller than even all the boys.<br />I had an undiagnosed Asbergers Syndrome then (it wasnt recognized in the mid 1950's} and I compensated by being violent so I wasn't ever physicaly bullied, emotionaly it was a different story.<br /><br />I despise those that take part in the behavior you described. When I see that I promptly TP away... I send an IM to the abused party and offer them a TP away from the site.<br /><br />I have worked with literally over 1000 new people and early on I give them the first two rules of virtual worlds...<br />#1 Have fun<br />#2 Never ever accept and "wear" anything given by someone you don't personaly know.<br /><br />Thank you for doing what you could. I love Secondlife and try and do whatever I can to demonstrate to new people just how magical this place can be.<br /><br />Ever since the old Help Islands closed we have new people just dumped into situations as you have described.Brindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722102008502506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780662684766869666.post-41230853913045396212011-04-10T21:30:27.979-04:002011-04-10T21:30:27.979-04:00G:

Many many people help new folks get their avatars together, and I would be happy to assist you if you'll IM me when I'm in world.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words about the blog!Cheyenne Palisadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857731023321638792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780662684766869666.post-26210472550011917722011-04-09T00:24:04.379-04:002011-04-09T00:24:04.379-04:00Chey,
Kudos on a really well done blog! It's ...Chey,<br /><br />Kudos on a really well done blog! It's extremely well put together. You obviously have an artistic eye which leads me to the subject of my comment. I'm one of those (couple) day old avatars and I have to say I read your account of this virtual lynching with more than a little horror. One of the things that have kept me off the grid and merely thinking about becoming more involved with SL is my slightly less original than white bread out-of-the-box avatar and the way it screams noob. Knowing nobody who is involved in SL and practically nothing about the application, I know I'm bound to be bumbling around the virtual world, asking stupid questions and generally making a dork of myself. The thought that my avatar can be morphed, stretched, and generally made a mockery of in front of a cheering crowd is - well a little frightening!<br /><br />Keep up the fine work!<br /><br />- GGary Maddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444123256308147479noreply@blogger.com
