The whole purpose is to put these freaks up on stage for the rabble to gawk at and throw tomatoes towards.

So get back up there and stand still…

@Oli: Loonies? The fact that you have so much time to spill your poison clearly shows who the loonie is. I am sorry that your life seems to be so miserable that the only pleasure you get is by making hate-laden comments in a pixel newspaper. Seriously, I pity you. Maybe you’d find some people who tell you that they love you too if you worked a little on your social skills.

C’mon… get all that bile out.

Many people in SL **are** genuine. SL is not a game it’s a virtual environment that is used for a range of applications including gaming, chatting/communication, education, artistic endeavours, forums and business meetings, film making/Machinima and it’s true, it can be used for cyber sex too. The diversity of people in Second Life and what they do in the virtual environment is huge – to make one judgement about all residents and all activities demonstrates a lack of rational thought.

The people I associate with in world range from their 20s to their 70s. Some are highly educated, some have minimal education, some are god fearing, some are atheist, some are from low socio-economic backgrounds while others come from privileged backgrounds. Some are also my real life work colleagues, friends sisters and (gasp) parents.

As for hiding behind a keyword (what does that even mean?) – many openly share real life pictures and/or information while others choose not to … sometimes it’s nice to not be put into a box because of age, gender, religion, sexuality, disability or any of the other things people like to make assumptions and judgements about. Second Life has been advertised on the US Autistic website as being a good environment for those with Autism and Aspergers. At a recent educational event I attended in world a number of people were discussing how they worked with disabled groups and bedridden individuals who loved the environment as they could operate in the virtual world without the discrimination they received in the real world.

The most interesting thing about your commentary was that someone with such obvious disregard for those who immerse themselves in Second Life took time out to write comments on a site dedicated to Second Life/pixel lunacy.

People in my real world environments (work, family and friends) know I spend time in Second Life — do people in your world know that you spend time looking at pictures of avatars and commenting on them? One might think you are a little obsessed by pixels too. Surely there are better things for you to be doing that wasting you words on a bunch of pixel-loving-loonies?

I love my life which includes both the physical environment and pixel lunacy. I make no apology.

And I do adore Bunny, so I guess this bucket is still needed.

[Nudges the bucket closer to Oli's face].

Yet how many post 6′s do we see that talk about how they were/are escorts, strippers, etc? Oh, I’m sure none of them ever had/have pixel sex on a regular basis. *rollseyes* Gimme a Break.

“I love you! ♥” aghhh I’m about to throw up!

“Thanks again Seik and Nate for the awesome pictures you took.” I have seen talent, and trust me these people are NOT talented AT ALL, they are just playing at being something! go get a real camera and show us what you can do. I’m truly disgusted.

“thank you for being who you are” I’m glad I don’t know who she is … man I would kill myself if I did.

Gina if I were you I would learn to write before making stupid comments, for example learn to capitalize your “I” oh! right you can barely speak English … sorry my bad. For a reason you were not asked to take pictures, I doubt you are any better than the so-called SL photographers that are trying to make Rabbit look like a person or even beautiful … pffff

Sen, WTF are you talking about? that comment doesn’t make any sense! you too learn to write before you post any thing man!

You are all a bunch of pixel-loving-loonies.
