Can I please have their name so I can use my power as an SLI blogger to revile them?<br /><br />And on that note, the very first post comment I received for SLI was 'criticism' in which I was called a 'twat', followed by another equally disrespectful comment with further observations on my lineage and ability.<br /><br />I was horribly upset for about 10 minutes, then became more determined than ever that I would do my level best to write engaging posts and let the comments fall as they may, lead-heavy or feather-light.<br /><br />I've yet to receive a single negative comment since.<br /><br />Tateru, your place in SL history is assured. You are loved justifiably for your actions, and that will be the true measure of your legacy. I'm proud to call you a friend.Keoni Chavezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880995865243369396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18259946.post-10808941333444116652006-08-26T22:03:00.000-07:002006-08-26T22:03:00.000-07:00sticks and stones may break my bones, but havok1 w...sticks and stones may break my bones, but havok1 will never hurt me.<br /><br />You were apparently quite well known when I joined the SL volunteers, which would put that at Mar 28th, 2006.<br /><br />I also had a problem with bullying behaviour from other Residents- some of it my own fault (coughHelpIslandcough), but most of it was totally unfounded.<br /><br />There have been moments where this abuse has driven me to the point of logging off for days on end, but thankfully I have supportive friends in-world and other sources of wisdom such as yourself have helped me grow stronger. Not thicker skinned- stronger willed.<br /><br />While there may be negative influences in world, there is a statistical thing to take notice of. The lame "n00bs" who's idea of griefing is to shoot you, harass you, attempt to interupt your experiments with building are easily ignored like flies on a windshield, and any serious harrasment can be dealt with appropriately.<br /><br />Like a headache, bullies can be dealt with through passive treatment; drink plent of water, rest and forget about it/them.SignpostMarvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732047356399518474noreply@blogger.com
