		<description>thanks writer.  i still remember the interview that spawned this thread so long ago.  i still follow as a way of keeping tabs on rgf.  many times the drama is sorted out before i hear about it.  with this thread i can address the actually resident, and hopefully provide a solution.</description>

		<description>Dear GG,

I am not a fag, but i like fags and many are my best friends.  the term fag is meant to be offensive, however most people take it more as a compliment, so perhaps a different term could better describe me, like thief/crook.
the reason i banned you was many people buy land then resell it without ever paying the tier, yet they collect tier form those they sold the land.  this type of scam leave sl with a bad rap.  i will unban you if you come to the office.   my intent was not to anger you, rather protect others.  i apologize for this misunderstanding and hope you will make a ticket on our site so i know who to unban.</description>

You should be ashamed of yourself for insulting dreamgirlc Miles like that.  yeah so what if you said she&#039;s a buttkisser or whatever, but she had cancer and NOW SHE&#039;S DEAD. In america at least, or at least where I live, it&#039;s a horrible thing to insult a dead person, well unless it&#039;s bin laden, or hitler</description>

		<description>@ Captain Self Centered, a.k.a. Tashaann

I wouldn&#039;t really start throwing around the attention whore deal, considering you&#039;re ranting and raving about this non-issue on a relatively unrelated forum.

Nonetheless, let me reiterate: nobody really cares that you rejected a hiring requirement. I&#039;d love to be able to walk up to my boss and say &quot;I&#039;m not going to follow this rule in the SOP&#039;s but you can&#039;t fire me!&quot; because that would, obviously, get me fired (or, at the very least, laughed out of his office).

There is no &quot;right&quot; to employment (unless you&#039;re black, that is). If you find one of the hiring requirements abhorrent, then you simply cannot work there. Why can&#039;t you comprehend this simple concept? Sure, RGF is a bunch of assholes that nobody should do business with, I&#039;ll give you that, but nobody&#039;s hiring policies can be arbitrarily ignored.

I bet you went to the Wal-Mart and they said they weren&#039;t hiring, so you wrote your local congressperson to protest their hiring policies. Here&#039;s an idea - stop attention whoring over a pointless job with a half-rate virtual company and get a real job like all the rest of us sheep.</description>

		<description>Tash, there was supposed to be an opt out clause the requirement anyway, i only ask you explain your opposition to using that chat feature.  i would have accepted any other alt, like skype, etc.  or if you have a reason(like i use my friends computer and dont want to install anything new), i would have excused it.  i apologize this didnt reach me.  i purposely test rgf on their ability to handle difficult circumstances.  this was not a test, but was telling all the same as we were able to keep you.  you are welcome back at anytime.  my intent was not to invade rl, just maintain contact when i am not able to log sl.  only about half of rgf does it now, and ive never fired anyone over this rule.  as you know, the only way to get fired from rgf is being mean to a resident or fellow team member.</description>

		<description>&quot;There really was no need for a gmail at all and i found it quite intrusive on my real life.&quot;

I know I have an extreme dislike for sicko&#039;s that think rape is fun. So unless I am on a mission... I stay away from the sicko&#039;s.

Just like if a person wants to talk to you using an outside chat program. If it that is something that you do not like... Don&#039;t use it and find some thing else to do.

&quot;you know nelson following the sheep is just pathetic i make my own choices in life and secondlife is a game we have communication in secondlife and many ways to do so there is no need for out of game communication.&quot;

Hmm Nelson in a sheep suit.......... Naw i like my Tiger better :P</description>
