1. I'm not a "translator for the UN". I *cover* the UN for various nonprofits and among the work I do is translation.

2. I am not banned from any Linden forum. I'm banned only from the JIRA.</description>

		<description>Actually, Thunderclap Morgridge himself is like one of those lying, hypocritical TV preachers you see -- a supposed Christian, but as malicious and nasty as they come.

Could we get YOUR RL name and picture, Thuderclap? So people in your church and family can see what you're really like.

I have nothing in common with the Wrong Rev. Sharpton, and have been a big critic of his for years. 

I have nothing in common with the loudmouth Rush Limbaugh, I'm a registered Democrat and voted for Obama. 

Er, what I do is criticize arrogant and aggressive geeks in Second Life, and that gets me these crazy labels.

For years now, Vint Falken has kept alive a hate page of me referencing another hate page by little Benjie Duranske which he long since retired when he went out looking for real jobs -- and he's run through quite a few of them since his days of unemployment and writing a book in SL.

This hate page is often the 2nd or 10th someone might find about me on a search of my name.

And it's hilarious to remember how her hate campaign got started: because I failed to put her in the list of top 10 blogs. That's right, her hate campaign got started because a big case of vanity and hurt pride.

I just didn't think a fashion blog that reposts links to other people's content and has little that is original is worthy of being in the top 10, even if it had Rezzable backing behind it. Guess it doesn't have that anymore? I don't care what kind of traffic.

Vint said maliciously that she'd "show Google where to point" and try to destroy my reputation. She actually thinks that if my bosses, co-workers, friends, relatives, etc. etc. look me up in Google, and see her hate pages and insanity like Thunderclap's, who put the most violent and crazy shit about me on the Dell page, that they will be horrified.

But, it's had zero effect. If anything, it's only served to reinforce the perception of the outside world that anonymous little assholes in SL like these haters are crazy and malicious and make the world a nasty place.

I can only urge anyone else under attack by these junkyard dogs: ignore them, SL is a big place; so is the Internet.</description>

		<description>Oh, they may not, being Europeans, Melissa, but I stand corrected, it was Imus in the Morning, not Stern, who made the "nappy-headed hos" remark.

However, the claim that I'm "the Howard Stern" of SL springs from the same concept, namely, that he insults people -- but if you actually read about Howard Stern, you see that his brand of abuse and outrageousness, like the "Dial a Bestiality" is nothing at all like my sarcasm that pricks the vanities of prim divas like Mr. Vint.

Melissa, now might be a good time to mention that if you want to make a persuasive transgendered avatar, you don't need to make the boobs so outrageously ginormous, it loses your case for you immediately.</description>

		<description>I expect most readers here know that it was Don Imus who uttered the "nappy-headed hos" remark, not Howard Stern.

I'd say Prokofy is the Joe Pyne, or maybe the Francis E. Dec, of Second Life, though the sheer logorrhea is reminiscent of Dr. Bronner.</description>

		<description>No, I'm not the Howard Stern of Second Life, because I don't hatefully and gratuitously call, say, black female basketball players "nappy-headed hos" like Howard Stern did.

No, what I do is say that Nobody is a Busybody and full of shit, and that Vint Falken is an intolerant and obsessive freak who may in fact be a mangina. No, name-calling, and reports of this nature, and hypotheses, are not like racist incitement of hatred. 

If it turns out that Vint is really, really a girl, and Busybody is the Sage of Second Life, hey, shoot me.</description>

		<description>Vint, are you a male originally in real life, either cross-dressing in that rather ambiguous photo you put up here on your website under "about me," or perhaps in the process of transgendering?

Nothing wrong with that, but I find ambivalence about such a status often does often explain the particular obsessiveness and viciousness with which some SL types like yourself begin hysterically hating me, putting up hate pages about me, whiting out my comments like Orwell's 1984, etc. etc. 

So, you know, just sayin'. Say, has anybody actually seen the real Vint Falken in RL, and can they comment on his/her real or presented gender?</description>

		<description>Well, Catherine, the truth is that you're a small fish in a small pond. And the fact that people like us keep moving on makes your own stasis all that more amusing.

As far as hate - you're the Howard Stern of Second Life. Perhaps that's why you switched gender for Second Life?

Have fun trolling others as a pastime. Real people do have real lives. Apparently, you don't.  As far as why content was removed from Benjamin's site... I'd like to think that he doesn't want to dilute his good content with a reference to a lost soul (you). Despite your hate, Benjamin has a lot of great content there and contributed it greatly. Why bother with the likes of a virtual world troll? 

Besides. We all have better things to do. Now go ahead - I know you want the last word. But when you have it, remember - we all recognize that you would have nothing to do without your hatred for anyone who has the flexibility to move beyond you. I wonder - how many things have passed you in life that have made you such a bitter woman? 

In truth, I PITY you.</description>

		<description>I find it typically hypocritical that this typically British hater has a) an infantile and aggressive mysogenist icon on Twitter b) pretends that if anyone identifies that mouse as looking like a vagina, they have a psychiatric disorder (see what I mean by infantile lol?) c) that I or anyone would object to his hateful comment sneering at a woman "as big as a bus" because I have somehow some "sensitivity" to being fat myself in RL (um, I don't, I'm fat, and I don't care who knows it, and who ridicules it) d) that his behavior is somehow "ok," and that objecting to his obnoxious assholery is sign of an, um, "borderline personality disorder".

Huh? Here's an asshole who a) attacks others and makes hateful comments on them b) dredges up their RL pictures from the Internet, stalking them and posting them c) uses an aggressively sexualized and stupid icon but d) does not post any information about his own RL details, much less his own picture. 

Vint might want to click on the link to Duranske's site and find out that it is now content that is removed.

She might like to reflect why.

Duranske finally got off the Internet and got over his infantile spasms online long enough to get a Real Job in Real Life. 

That prompted him to remove the offfensive, false, and abusive content about me because as a lawyer working for a law firm, he realized it merely compromised him and could even be actionable.

Perhaps such epiphanies might occur with the other anonymous online fucktards in this thread when they are forced to Get a Life ROFL.</description>
