DEAR READERS:
I get a lot of mail about this column, and not all of it is flattering or from fans. I thought I would allow my fans and detractors to have some voice in this space by collecting for you some of what they say.
As is my custom with this column, all ‘real’ names have been changed to something witty or expressive — mostly to protect the privacy of the writers.
Enjoy.
~ HEARTUN BREAKER
- When you told Gorean Good Girl (Get A Life, Oct. 30, 2006) to ‘embrace your inner whore, or stay out of Gor‘ you show that your (sic) really ignorant of Gorean custom and tradition. The love between a slave and a Master is a beautiful one of give and take, learning and teaching. Your (sic) really showing your intolerance too. ~ MASTER TIMMY
- Gor haters like you should just get over it. ~ MASTER BOBBY
- Tal Sister. Have you even read any of the Gor books? ~ MASTER SKIPPY
CHILI CON FURRY
- You CLAIM that Chili Con Furry (Get A Life, Oct. 30, 2006) asked you a question in Spanish and you translated it using Altavista Babelfish. But I put what you allege was his translated question into Babelfish, translated it from English to Spanish, then Spanish to Portuguese, then Portuguese to Italian and finally Italian back to English and it made no sense at all. I don’t think you used Babelfish. More than that, I don’t think anyone IM’d you that question in the first place. I think you just made it up. You are no better than Jason Blair. ~ SCOOBIE DOO
- ¿Usted habla español? Vete a la mierda. Ha ha ha. ~ FRITO BANDITO
BURNED IN SL
- How the hell do you expect us to believe you when you tell people like Burned in SL (Get A Life, Oct. 30, 2006) to lie? As if there isn’t (sic) enough liars in SL already! What a two-faced bitch you must be IRL!!! I’m never reading the SL Herald again. If I had a subscription, I would revoke it! ~ PISSED OFF PRINCESS
- That’s some sneeky shit. I never thought about that. I had no idea what the Notes section (of the Profile) was for. ~ HONEST DUMB GUY
- Why would you do that? You are helping bring down the already low moral bar in Second Life. The Lindens should BAN you! ~ GOBSMACKED PATRIOT
- Unofficially, the notes section of the resident Profile is NOT to keep track of lies. It is to keep track of things like I.O.U’s and property or group agreements. Don’t use my name or I will get in trouble. ~ ANONNYMOUS LINDEN
- You just helped griefers out everywhere. Thanks a lot, bitch! And I DARE you to print this! Stupid whore. ~ HOLY ROLLER
UNEQUAL PARTNER
- Unequal Partner (Get A Life, Nov. 4, 2006) was reaching out to you with the pain she is experiencing in her ‘triangular’ relationship. You told her to try to make it work, but she will never get her Master to respect her the way she needs. You gotta tell her to cut loose and go out on her own. The ‘Sub Dude’ clearly has the upper hand. ~ NEGATIVE McNASTY
- Triangular Relationship?” LOL. Only in SL (I hope). ~ SHELTERED DUDE
- Unequal Partner sounds nice. I’d treat her right. Pass on my info to her. ~ MISTRESS HAHAHA
- You need to print up T-shirts with phrases like ‘Triangular Relationship’ on them. I’d buy one. ~ TRIANGULAR LOVER
NEED A THIRD LIFE
- Come on, Heartun. Don’t be so harsh on Need A Third Life (Get A Life, Nov. 4, 2006). I think most people in SL have a significant other in RL. That doesn’t mean everyone here will get divorced. You really take it too far some times. But you do often make me laugh too. ~ CHEATING BOSTRICH
- I just went through a divorce for just this same shit that Need A Third Life is doing. Instead of telling him to run up his credit cards you should tell him to quit playing around and spend time with his family. What are you? Retarded? ~ NO IRONY GUY
- LOL, do you get a commission from Dell? ~ CHA CHING
MADLY IN LOVE
- You were way too harsh on Madly In Love (Get A Life, Nov. 4, 2006). ~ LOVE REFEREE
- You lesbians have no idea what it is like to have the absolute love of a man that some of us are lucky enough to find. Don’t give advice about stuff you don’t understand. True love is obviously beyond you, or you would have more compassion for this poor woman. ~ TOTAL LOVELIOT
- Madly In Love needs to keep her SL in SL and her RL in RL. ~ SIMPLE LOVER
- Hint. He is MARRIED!! ~ MS. DUH
- What is wrong with roses and hearts? I, for one, <3 them. @)~- ~ LOVE CUTESTUFF
- God, you are one heartless bitch! I wish we could still neg-rate people so I could track you down and hit you with a neg-rate. ~ ANGRY LOVER

What is this, an open anonymous therapy group?
Everyone in that post lead themselves into a sad life while a syndicated columnist, Heartun Breaker is enjoying herself (himself?) beating the crap out of them. Showing them how simple it is to handle such thing called “Life” by slapping them in the face….
Keep up the good work, Heartun. We can’t allow to have too many losers going around here.

Honestly I’m in Gor and the SL Version of the Gorean lifestyle is really BS. Don’t get me wrong, I find it fun at times, but it has gotten out of hand at times. First of all I have heard reports that most the main things in the books have been Altered or changed a little(Note:This came from people that have read the books not me). For on thing, Gor is not run by people that study that books so don’t bother reading them. It’s run by admins of whom are mostly….Egotistic(if thats a word).
A lot of these admins break their own rules and display favoritism with people that know and engage in invaild role play with other Gor FOLLOWERs. You may ask “How why are you still in Gor then?”. Well the answer is “Because i know i can change things and i will”.
Free Woman of Gor are bored out of their “F**king minds”. A lot of them just come up to me like “Is this how Gor really is….if so how did the books sell?
Kinda weird that most masters have slaves.Ha!The only reason why the like gor is because once they get a slave they get that “Hug-they-never-had” by having the slave(female in this case)Agree with very thing they say.(such as “Yes, master” at the stupidest things). Yes, the rules of Rp are fishy and Admins a lot of them fail to play fair so don’t be suprised if you hear about the “The Gorean Revolution”

I’m not sure I understood a thing that General Cronon said… Combined with the replies Heartrun received for her Gorean advice and the other stuff I’ve seen, I wonder if a basic literacy campaign for Gor is in order?

“Tal Sister. Have you even read any of the Gor books? ~ MASTER SKIPPY”
Man anyone reading more than one of those books needs to have their head examined. I admit I’m no great writer myself, but DAMN. Reading the works of John Norman makes my face hurt, he honestly has the writing skills of a pedantric 13 year old autistic child with a constant raging hardon. He uses enough literary crutches to ensure him a parking spot at almost any location in the world, up close, with a little blue sign with a wheelchair on it. We won’t even go into how its so droning and repetative that it puts you right to sleep.
Oh and Hearton, your column fucking sucks. I’ve seen you give so much bad advise that I hear Dear Abby is looking to kick your ass.

Wow, those comments are harsh. You must have an ego made of steal to put up with that kind of trash being sent to you daily. Thanks for writing the colum. I enjoy reading it.

“Reading the works of John Norman makes my face hurt, he honestly has the writing skills of a pedantric 13 year old autistic child with a constant raging hardon.”
Which is why he has such a huge following of “honorable gorean men”, it’s not too linguistically dense for their underdeveloped minds and it’s got enough sexuality to keep them interested.
