My 3 bans

I wasn't going to respond at first. But, in seeing the claims made, I'm seeing an invented reality that I just can't let go. Bear with me. I'll be brief. (=_=)

Banning event #1:
I get word that one of the NCI infonodes got a cosmetic update and went to check it out. My Mystitool spotted someone off in the distance and I flew over to say "hi"...
[2009/05/15 21:37] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: Prokofy Neva (19m)
[2009/05/15 21:38] Imnotgoing Sideways: Konnichiwa (^_^)
[2009/05/15 21:38] Imnotgoing Sideways: Carl just told me about the update. (^_^)
[2009/05/15 21:38] Prokofy Neva ejected and banned you from this land.

Banning event #2:
I read on the forums that there would be a discussion on Avatars and Anonymity online. It was a fascinating topic to me, considering even my best friends don't even really know who I am in SL. I show up, chat, make a couple friends...
[2009/07/10 18:37] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: Prokofy Neva (18m)
[2009/07/10 18:37] Prokofy Neva: hi
[2009/07/10 18:37] brinda Allen: oooops
[2009/07/10 18:37] Seasprite Destiny: Ah, and htis focus on the one on one experiecne..don't get me started.
[2009/07/10 18:37] Imnotgoing Sideways: I just passed 6 months inworld just a month before the openings were shut. (>_<)
[2009/07/10 18:37] brinda Allen: Hi Prok
[2009/07/10 18:37] Prokofy Neva ejected and banned you from this land.

Banning event #3:
I was TP'd by some people I know from the forums who had just discovered the NCI freebie wall. I was helping them navigate it and pointing out the new additions in avatars and textures. One person was getting a bit nostalgic about the dancing cow attachment...
[2009/08/11 19:17] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: Prokofy Neva (17m)
[2009/08/11 19:17] Imnotgoing Sideways: Konnichiwa (^_^)
[2009/08/11 19:17] Prokofy Neva ejected and banned you from this land.

Here's the thing. At no time was I ever with a group of people. Each time I arrived alone. The second and third time, I had already had an open dialogue with the people there, and even made some friends in the process. (^_^)

I don't have replicating cubes. I don't have particle emitters. I don't even really know how to find or make them. I can't really say I care. They're not fun to me. So, to say I arrived with a group of avatars or a 'posse' or have ever been seen with a 'posse'... Well... That's just a lie. (=_=)

Yes, I am in the Woodbury University group.

Yes, I am in the NCI group.

In addition, I'm in Second Life Mentors, The Forum Cartel, Jumpman's Slut Magazine, and Second Life Children. ( I'm going to beat myself up for saying "slut"... I don't cuss... (T_T) )

Those are facets of me. I am not a facet of them. And, I can live with that. The only thing that troubles me at the moment is that lies are used in order to justify my bannings. (=_=)

Prokofy, if you simply said that you banned me because you dislike the group I'm associated with, I would have felt no need to respond. In fact, up until now, you may have noticed that I have kept the fuss to a minimum. Mostly, because until now, I didn't care. (^_^)

But, now that I'm being lied about, I care. (>_<)

Well...my name shows up..briefly.. on one of Immys ban/ejections. Our brief chat a few mins before her ban was warm, friendly, and A lil informative :-) After a min or so she indicated that while the proposed discussion interested her...she mite well be banned on sight. When I asked why, she said it mite be cause of her group listing. Sure nuff...Pooof!

Ya kno...I love to listen to ppl..watch them,specially when they dont kno I'm around...read what they say.{particularly tweets..not much time there to obfuscate}.

Immy..I'm happy to claim you as a friend...certainly on one occasion I got some really good advice..
I have watched you stand off to one side at a particularly rambuctuous WA..never speak to anyone cept myself and one nooblet. {And you were a lot kinder & helpfull to him than I was}
As far as silence...well in this case I believe that so many mistake silence {or kindness} as weakness. Me & you kid till the wheels fall off!

You have my sympathies; Prokofy has posted numerous falsehoods about me to his weblog also, and I know how hard it is not to react. I think you did the right thing by posting here rather than engaging him in his comments. It took me months to figure out that approach, but since I put a "Generic Response to Prokofy Neva" on my own web site, he seems to have cut down on making stuff up about me, and I don't have the stress of trying to talk sense with someone who is so cut off from truth.

Hey, one good side-effect: I discovered your weblog! :)

Imnotgoing Sideways said...

Yay! I haz a readers nao! \(^o^)/

Now... If I could only update this bloody site once in a while. (=_=)

Dale Innis said...

Reg'lar posting not required; I haz you in mah feed-reader... ^_^

Brinda said...

Hmmm...reading between some lines...I'm guessing this is "reading the bible upside down?"
*********
"Hard work, especially dealing with griefers, and especially griefers who nit-pick and literalize that because they didn't come in a group, but came after a group left, that, they, um, aren't griefers. Please, arrant bullshit."
********

Chat @ ya in world =^.!.^=

haha! This is *such* typical Proklogic. "A because B!" "Well, it turns out that not B, but still obviously A! How could anyone think otherwise?".

At one point he claimed that I had commented on every one of his JIRA entries, and was therefore harassing him. I pointed out that I'd only commented on *one* of the 38, and he replied that I was being a literalist expletive, and obviously what he'd meant to say was (something else entirely, also not true).

/eyeroll

@Brinda ... I came after a group left? ... I need to IM people more. Half the time I have NO idea what's going on. (=_=)

On the other hand, is that even English? Silly silliness is silly. (O.o)

Imnotgoing Sideways said...

@Dale: Yeah. One of the things I did early on was send Prok a link to the Wikipedia article on "Association Fallacy". His response was that the concept was merely a meme and I need to learn to speak for myself. (Insert irony here) (=_=)

Dale Innis said...

On the other hand I just commented on his weblog, against the ppl that killed his chickens. I wonder if he will make me regret that; he usually does...
