The Metaverse! Do we need a brain-verification for SL accounts?

The mood in Luskwood and Furnation sims – both furry enclaves – was somber tonight, in striking contrast to comments by PETA President Ingrid Newkirk who said, “Stella’s Second Life fur protest is a light-hearted way to draw attention to a very serious issue”. While furries are generally accepted by longtime SL residents, some privately express anti-fur sentiments, and suggest that various criminal elements are over-represented in the furry population – such as underage players and those into extreme role play. Acceptance of the furry community may be less prevalent among the newer real-life-in-second-life partisans, and may account for the unfortunate tone of the planned protest.

PeTA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk once said, “Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”

“We feel that animals have the same rights as retarded children.” -Alex Pacheco, Director, PeTA.org

“Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses.” -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PeTA.org

Interview with TrannyPet Barmy

In this interview we speak with TrannyPet Barmy, the gifted scripter and alleged griefer who made the Hand of Satan push gun and the DBomber notecard spamming weapon in addition to an advertising broadcasting system during his first incarnation on Second Life. (read here secondlifeheral, January 29, 2006)

TrannyPet Barmy – the creator of the “Hand of Satan”, “DBomber”, and other potentialy TOS violating weaponry has been permabanned. The ban is suspected to be placed due to the “DBomber” object which falls under the “unsolicited spam” and “interfering with a users ability to enjoy the world” sections of the TOS (section 5.1 – (vii), (viii), and (x)) and CS (2 and 3) (The object would send an extroadinary ammount of notecards and/or dialog windows to a targeted user).
