Indeed. It seems that any understanding is also at kindergarten level too. The paradox is though that it is those who decry what they call fake news are those who are more likely victims of the real thing disseminated by those who influence them.
Again, Hanah Arendt reminds us:
"The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world - and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end - is being destroyed."

I don't get it. If people are taking the "No politics in OS, blah blah," Why are they engaging on your posts? Are they incapable of scrolling?
And who is anyone to gatekeep topics on OS?
And btw, why is being an "instigator" so horrible?

Also, imagine someone posted something glaringly pro-Trump, pro-Vance, pro-Heritage Society, pro-Project 2025, pro-totalitarian dictatorship and deeply racist, sexist, misogynist, supremacist, anti-environmentalist, homophobic, transphobic and generally xenophobic.
Would all the same people who try to silence Dorena openly speak out against that as well?

Her post is the opposite of that. Those are the people trying to silence her. Sorry...did I miss something? It's possible I did....more coffee....

These individuals are not here to contribute positively or to help build and grow our virtual world. Instead, they are sowing discord, creating divisions, and holding our community hostage to discussions that have no place in this space. Opensim was created as a haven for creativity, collaboration, and the shared joy of building something unique together—not as a battleground for real-life political or religious disputes. We are not trying to silence Dorena, we just want our space to be positive place where we can create this is not RL.
Focus energies that help opensim to flourish to not be at odds. Or to be held hostage with hate.
Dorena creates beautiful videos and AI, I would much rather see her videos promoting opensim and creativity. It has nothing to do with silencing her at all. I am a creator, when I open my browser and first thing I see is Trump or Putin all my creativity takes a nose dive, She deleted one of my comments explaining this she replied back to me to just block or not read her. Does she really want us all to block her is that her goal? What I see is this all started when she was attacked for her views, I get that - but by continuing this she is letting the other guy win because she stays wallowing in the same pit of dispair. Rise up!

You are ranting extensively, but not once do I see you directly responding to her explanation that, if someone deletes their own comment, or Dorena herself deletes a comment from above your comment in the comment hierarchy, all replies to said comment are deleted. You are smart and I know you can comprehend her explanations, rather than making her repeat it over and over, and then ignoring it and seeing only what you wish to see, and replying on what you wish to rant about. If you have so many issues with her posts, why are you making so many comments? There are other agendas at play here, it seems. I guess I don't understand why so many are always ganging up on Dorena. And why do so many ignore the hate speech and horrible derogatory words that people like GlennXpletive use? Seems it is ok to be a bully and a hateful person, so long as people have a political camp in common.

There is no agenda at play here, I have been in opensim nearly as long as Dorena, I have watched her post for years and never seen her under attack. The "people at play" since Glenn fight are trolls who want to silence her, this is what I am taking such offense at, she is constantly under attack now since the Glenn fight, he has been banned yet she continues on posting messages to him here at OSW when he cannot reply. Making it all public for months. Opensimworld isn't the place for public fighting is the point I am making. The comments deleted were ones I commented to her, 3 she then explained someone commented vile so she had to remove it, the reason you are seeing what you term ranting from me is because of comment removals, it looks like ranting when she does this, makes the person replying look like a ranter. Why all this needs to stop it takes conversations out of context then people are misunderstood.
This is a Opensim public forum not a battleground I know your stance of stand up and fight, but fight who? All of "us" cause Glenn cannot post now. Suzi said it was to flush out Trumpistas, I am not one and even if I were this is not the place for that, Opensim is international I doubt they will flush out that many here.
I don't like to see my friends attacked. She made it obvious she will continue, I will close the window now, this is what I wanted to avoid. The trolls all are doing the good ol bait and switch routine with comments and she is now doing this to all her friends (she has to when they spew the hate towards her) I replied to you to try to clarify yet once again, with all my comments I would think you would see my true motive which is wanting to keep a friend from spiraling down the hate path with the trolls. And taking us with her, this is when I close that door.

Seriously, Opensim is a blank canvas, and can be used for whatever any creator wishes, good or evil or even just bland and neutral. Politics is only ever only just below the surface, and to many of us it's an important subject. Those who are not interested, or who just don't want to be involved are free to not involve themselves. No one is twisting your arm and forcing you to read those posts. Just ignore them, just as I habitually ignore The Box most of the time.

Rise up means to rise up above negativity. It started when your views were attacked. Nobody is trying to silence you, my hope is that you would rechannel and focus to positive opensim related topics, since this is Opensim and it is mostly a fantasy world, RL topics belong in RL platforms. You are hellbent on "feeling" we are all out to attack you, not all of us. I have been here a long time too, Opensim was not founded on politics or religion it was founded by collaboration and free and opensource software. Lets just keep it focused on what it is.

Any separation is illusory. We are the same people, and Opensim isn't a different world, just an extension of our very real world.

While separation between the virtual and real worlds may be seen as illusory, boundaries still play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and purpose of different spaces. Just as we might choose different environments for work, relaxation, or socializing in real life, Opensim can be a space where people choose to focus on creativity, community, and personal well-being, free from the divisiveness of real-world issues.
The posts are not just views against Donald Trump these posts are to create a rise and obtain likes. Dorena commented (then removed it) saying the likes on her post indicate her posts are well received then she gets attacked for those very views which continues the hate. Which divides us. I agree, with you it is obvious what the goal is here to me since Dorena cannot vote in USA, this is purely for a rise and likes. With no real concern for the opensim community or who it harms.

Firstly, there is no separation between the supposed virtual and real worlds: they are merely different aspects of the same. Dorena does not post the things she does for likes or to derive vicarious pleasure. Nothing she posts will cause any harm to anyone, unless they're oversensitive Trump supporters, and I won't shed any tears over them! No, Dorena's concerns go way beyond the Opensim 'community' to the wider community of the whole world, which will be a much nastier and more dangerous place if the likes of Trump are allowed anywhere near the levers of power.

As I have already written elsewhere. We are all real people and not just avatars, the two cannot be separated. I think it is important to discuss such elementary things, particularly because of the opportunity to exchange ideas internationally in OpenSim. And no one is prevented from limiting themselves to OpenSim. When OpenSim was first founded, I did a lot for the community. And yes, I have a lot of experience with OpenSim. But it is difficult to assert yourself against many know-it-alls and wannabe admins.

Dorena, that is why I have been in this conversation for two days, I know all you contribute I miss that. I don't like to see the attacks against you, I would much rather see you contributing again. We all read you and understand your views we are all entitled to those views, you should never have been attacked, I also do not feel that attack should have stayed on Opensim for days so everyone could see that attack, I am sorry I know how that had to hurt you after all you have given to opensim. I understand that you would be hurt and angry, I would be too. Please know that sincerely some of us really value you and enjoy what you create. My hope is the focus at OSW can get back to helping each other instead of tearing each other down or blocking people.

Thank you for your sensitive, friendly comment. Yes, I was attacked, and I also received something like this via PM: "First of all, you wrote your stupid post in two languages. Just a side note. And secondly, if the shoe fits, wear it... You prove time and again that you're stupid, you don't need a post from me for everyone to know that... If you think that will have consequences on my part, then try something... I'll gladly give you my address if you dare to come by... The fact that you're a guy is an open secret that's been going around for years... Come by and I'll knock the crap out of your ass....... "
Very nice, isn't it?? To be honest, hate messages like this convince me even more that I'm doing the right thing. People like that are also running around in OpenSim. That way I know where I stand with them.

I never said it was horrible, I just pointed out that choosing to be that will cause people to insult you. I saw Dorena get hurt because of those responses. As for "gatekeeping": the purpose of OpenSimWorld according to OpenSimWorld: "What is OpenSimWorld?
OpenSimWorld is a directory of 3D worlds that use the open source OpenSimulator software and are connected to each other via the hypergrid functionality. OpenSimWorld is not a Grid, and we don't host or rent regions, we only provide an easy way to discover amazing virtual worlds and to advertise your own region.". (see the FAQ under Help on the website) So, call me stupid but.. that's what I was expecting to find here, and I was simply pointing out that using the website to publish things that are not about that might not be smart, especially not given the audience here and their responses. But whoever wants to get on their soapbox: be my guest, I am, indeed, perfectly capable of scrolling.
