who needs rights? when you have one person acting as judge, jury, and executioner! someone (undoubtedly a big fake like me) let me know about someone else who is a little frustrated with sl peeps in facebook. now my first reaction was “the nerve!”
but i went to their blog (from the link in their twitter) and decided they must be like 14 or messed up adults. i am the first to say that i have rl issues. low self-esteem, a big nose, and emotional baggage. and anyone that thinks they don’t have issues that may affect their perception is simply an ignoramus. now being ignorant is not always a bad thing. we are all ignorant of some things in life
but not realizing that your ignorance could be distorting your perception and perspective is when ignorance gets ugly. in the US, we used to think that african americans were inferior. in much of the world, it used to be thought that jews are evil. in the US, we (as a society) still think women are inferior to men. want proof? lookie here
so when i went to the blog of this person, i saw that for them, it was proof enough that an sl profile existed for that name. now how much time was spent looking up all these people? then to blog on them and also tweet? wow, that is a passionate person!
now i am doing all i can to not crack some jokes (hint, go for it) by showing lower respect for this person (i think all people and animals have goodness somewhere inside – maybe naively so, but i would have faith in people than not) but can’t help to wonder what this person could create if their focus was a little different
i understand what hate does and the vicious cycle of letting your rage (ooh, your shadow side) express itself. but this person has real ener-gy, i mean they set up a blog, twitter, and then look up avatars – i know what it takes to be out on the web like that, it does take real time
anyway, i assume this person (who does not indicate who the are on their blog – so that could mean they are fake!) won’t post a comment i left on his blog, so here it is:

hey you forgot to list me! well, i actually am real, but FB disabled me
a second life profile does not act as proof of being fake
in the state of new hampshire, $75, a simple free form, and 3 minutes in front of a judge means a fully legal name change! you can’t ever use your old name (i suppose you could change it back)
and it was interesting to see that about half the credit cards did not need to see anything. they simply continually monitor your social security number
the social security administration does need to see your court paper (just a few paragraphs) as did the bank and passport admin
but anyway, an sl link to a profile page may, at very best, prove that that name is the name of an sl avatar
am i a nut about this? i dunno, but my birth name is not one i picked out, so what is wrong with changing your name? (plus it fits on a license plate)
also, some peeps on your list, like Torley are what are called Facebook fan pages. fan pages are made for businesses, celebrities, etc, and don’t have the 5,000 friend limit
so what about you? who are you? this seems kinda fake and i am sorry that sl peeps bug you on facebook so much. come on, if you want to affect a diff, maybe stop Mafia Wars, sure seems that something making killing seem cool is far more noble a cause for someone like you that clearly has energy and passion
anyway, just my two cents
namaste
btw – ener hax is way older than second life, it was l33t speak for a dungeons & dragons easter egg for hidden power ups – energy hacks turned into ener hax
kinda like w00t is short for “wow! loot” in finding treasure in some games
oh btw, when you comment on blogs, you don’t have to put your real email address. that is used by askimet to help filter out spam – but you could use like i_am_an_avatar@yahoo.com (i would never encourage you to not be real but just love to teach people about blogging and social stuff)
so what started me on this? well the person chirped to me that Prok was listed on that site. now, you know i love Prok because i see the passion and drive behind her comments and truly believe people have a right to express their opinions. Prok has been a target for harassment by stupid and shallow people. as for me, anyone can say or do anything they want to, i can’t (and wouldn’t) try to control them (pretty magnanimous if one person thinks they have the right to judge others – hmm, something in the old testament about judging others . . . )
anyway . . . why does facebook assume that the person reporting that a person is fake knows it for sure. and why won’t facebook listen to you? lol, they answered me three times though (i offered sending an official endorsed court paper showing the legal name change, but they said no – how shitty is that of facebook!). i think people did that in WWII also – they would tell Nazis that so-and-so was a jew – i have family that suffered under that, so it touches a big nerve with me
anyway, just to let you know that someone has it out for peeps using fb to connect with friends. guess Avatars United may be a good alternative – oh wait, AU has a similar TOS and says you have to be real!
so why can IBM accept avatars (many avatars have done work for IBM and remained only avatars) but facebook can’t?
oh well, since that person lists peeps with sl avatar profiles, they’ll likely list me (muahaha, i think even the most casual observer can tell that search engine optimisation is a big deal for me, bring it!) oh, also, since enerhax.com exists along with 1,000s of online references, i am my own copyright so using my name in your list to garner more traffic could be seen as being used for your commercial gain thus violating a way bigger TOS called international copyright law) =D
but since you don’t list who you are . . . =p
really? this is what decides who you are? move over God
Yeah, it is.
