		<description>Ok - a comment from a total outsider here ....

Personally I have no interest in knowing Vint's gender - but I would say from looking at the picture that we are dealing with a female. 

Prokofy Neva - From your posts I get ONE distinct sensation - call it female instinct if you will - that NO proof, photos, signed statements from any number ob OB-GYN's, or the words of people that met her will EVER convince you that Vint is indeed female. 

I am even guessing that IF you were invited to join her at the ob-gyn's office and allowed to look for yourself for the irrefutable proof - you would not keep the appointment. You do not want to be proven wrong, you do not want Vint to be a female - in fact you do not really care about her gender - you care about slamming, mudslinging - and most of all : getting attention!!!

I pitty you .. you must really have a desperate lack of important things to care about in your life - or maybe you are using cyberspace to hide from real life and avoid dealing with it  - wrapping yourself in a comforting  virtual blanket of feeling important .. I don't know, nor do I care to know... but clearly you need to think some things through ....

This is my first, last and only comment in this thread

Prok - get help!

Vint - step back and ignore it all - don't  enable - don't allow this to have any sort of impact on you :)

Blessings

Actually, Anony, PN knows that exceedingly well. It's one way to generate traffic: be sufficiently obnoxious or detached from reality that people read either from sheer rage or to get the perverse jollies one derives from reading the rants of Francis E. Dec or Dr. Bronner's soap labels.</description>

You're right. Like a bunch of other people, I confused "homo" with "vir".  Apologies to my high school Spanish teacher who also taught Latin.</description>

		<description>Melissa,

You asked "shouldn’t that be ad feminam in this case?"  No, in spite of the fact that ad hominem is usually translated as "against the man" the term "hominem" actually means "person" so it's not gender specific.

I'm not surprised WRT prok's behavior.  What he/she fails to realize is that it's self perpetuating.

		<description>Actually, Anony, PN wears its intellectual incompetence with pride, bragging about its use of the ad hominem (shouldn't that be ad feminam in this case?) fallacy and even claiming that the US Supreme Court has declared ad hominem an essential part of democracy. (As Dave Barry would say, I am not making this up.)</description>

		<description>Prok,

You're clearly engaging in what's known as "Ad-Hominem" attacks to distract people from the actual issue... that being whatever this rant spouted from in the first place (most likely the article Vint pointed at above).  You say that you "asked a question" but it's clear to even the most casual observer that you asked the question in order to be nasty and cruel.  

I find it very interesting that you accuse people of griefing you, yet you are doing just that by smearing people as best you can OUTSIDE of SL which is, honestly, the worst type of griefing.   You said it yourself that you "fight back as hard and as dirty as I can possible muster."  What I believe you fail to comprehend is that it is the dirty fighting itself that you do that perpetuates the negative perception you have managed to garner among some people (no matter what their gender)  in SL.  

I've never met Vint in RL and, honestly, I don't care about Vint's RL gender.  Neither should you.

		<description>So, Dark, done saving Darfur and curing cancer for the day, are you? Got time to post on forums?

Re: "youth will -always- take over. You are going to die."

ROFL. Save the basket, dear.

Why do I care about Vint's gender? I don't. Who could care? But I sense there's an issue here for her/him. I find a very common pattern of people who harass me in SL is that they are manginas. They are conflicted about their own transgendering, and they obsess about me. 

Vint has obsessed about my criticism of her and her blog since the beginning, in the typical inflated neuralgic hysteria of the SL youth. 

In time, she'll grow up and get a read job -- and possibly a haircut, as well.

&#62;vituperative limpet 

ROFL I love that term. I may use that! is it trademarked!

I'm seeing lots and lots of churn here from Vint's fan base, but I'm not getting, er, an authentic story from any of them that would REALLY clinch it. Doubt remains.</description>
