Great to hear that, it would have saved me a lot of time some months

hand, if I had known, I might not even have made my multi-page editor,
which does exactly what I want it to do! Sometimes ignorance is

Sure, that happens. And when I see it happen, as in this case, I point
out to what AWI self has stipulated: no discrimination is allowed in
AW. Some people keep jumping at the opportunity to impose their own
religious and moral beliefs here, even if it contradicts basic rules
of AWI, and even justify this:

"I think it does belong here its part of the AW community but if
anyone is offended its not by what is said here but rather by their
own deeds......so don't blame those of us who have morals and good
values with what those ppl are doing......."

A dirty way of turning the tables and discriminating anyway.

This of course does not mean AWI always enforces its own rules.

Alex

May 18, 2004, 5:55pm

Sure WM:

L: and now some of us can go throw up

L: unless of course you believe in God :-)

Replying to: I actually kind of agree....not that you guys are kids
for your opinions, but I think anyone has the right to get married if
they want to. (Meaning..human beings / adults...NOT adults and
children or adults and animals... those are a means for mental therapy
right there.) If two women want to get married, that's their right,
no big deal. People shouldn't be judged just because they are gay. A
lot of people stereotype gays as being bad people and they aren't,
they are just like everyone else, except they have a different
sexuality.

L: I think it does belong here its part of the AW community but if
anyone is offended its not by what is said here but rather by their
own deeds......so don't blame those of us who have morals and good
values with what those ppl are doing.......

Me: so there is graphic disaproval (thow up), assertion that if you
believe in God you must disaprove, their deeds condemn them, and last
but not least, contrasting her good morals and good values versus the
people she pukes about.

Sure, say hello to gay people and other minorities, send them cards...
as long as they stay where they belong, accept they are inmoral and
godless? Great deal!

American constitution may say what it wants, I'm a European citizen. I
am familiar with the discussion of the pros and cons of same sex
unions, the discussion goes on not only in Massachussets, and we all
have different opinions about it. That is ok. What is not ok is
expressing opinions the way they have been in this thread. Does the
american constitution not protect against denigrating others?

Have you tried deleting the cache? A corrupted cache is usually the
reason for this, or maybe your connection to the object path is not
good. The world server is not really responsible for downloads, it
only tells the browser what to download and where to put it, so it
should not matter at all if the awteen worldserver has been upgraded,
it's the browser's job to download.

To the AW community,

I'm very sorry to hear this. Daphne and myself had at first a very
cordial relationship. This turned later into clashings, and since a
while were were not on speaking terms. Even then, I always respected
and admired Daphne's dedication to the community. She will be missed
by friend and foe. My sincere condolences to her family and friends,
she will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I transmitted these sad news to DigitalSpace (Bruce Damer aka
digigardener, and Stuart Gold, aka San Marco). Daphne worked with
DigitalSpace, as she did with many, for many years with a lot of
energy and goodwill. Most of the av worlds have something she gave
us.

This is a sad day indeed.

Sounds quite a lot like how the USA administration gets elected:)

In fact, all contests have the same problem. There is no way to
change that, the voters have the voice. If they do not chose to
honour you with a visit, or with an honest choice, that's part of the
game, which you have to accept when you participate. The other
alternative, that the CY used some time ago I believe, and so did the
AVVY awards, is to have appointed judges to decide who gets what; the
criticism there is favoritism and corruption.

My suggestion: you either participate knowing the drawbacks, and are
ready to accept the verdict, or you ask to be removed from the contest
nomination list. I think the CY commitee has done its best to reflect
what the voters cast, but they can't change human nature.

I know, Ciena. I never like taking part in contests, just for that
reason. CY for me is different in a way, because of how I feel my
involvement with my bots. But even so, if I get nominated - and it has
happened a few times- I sweat like mad. I got two awards in the past
for my bot, and the whole tension was hell. This time, I did not get
nominated and was happy... I did not remember there are the Lifetime
Achievement awards, that are not from present nominations, which I
never expected to get... I almost had a fit when I heard at the end of
the ceremony that I got one this time!

I wish you a lot of luck with your creations, that's what counts.
Whether you get nominated, get a prize or not, is not really relevant
(but is very satisfying if you do, I don't deny that... in spite of
all, I'm still human, my bot Delph keeps throwing that word at me!).
Keep on your good work!

Whatever your own opinion... if you have proof of criminal activity
against someone (you say 2 stolen cits), don't come and crap it into
the ngs. This person has now, in the ngs, been accused of child
stalking, running a pedo network, etc, all with not to anyone revealed
but so called proven facts... extremely damaging accusations. In a
civilised society (probably NOT the USA) these activities would be
reported to proper authorities, which would have been compelled to
deal accordingly. Even in the barbaric USA (check the wondefull
activities by civilised USA in Iraqi prisons, as a new example of USA
model civilization), methinks, the rule is that a person is inocent
until proved guilty. Here, the sport seems to be to dump accusations
of all kinds into the ngs, founded or unfounded, whatever suits the
case.

This having been said, I dont give an excrement about this person's
alleged drinking problems. If this person needs help, let this person
go where this person can get it, not here.

Your demand is by me exterminated as unproved, facetious and <add

Good point, showing your barbaric state.

Not that there is ANY indication that the people who were tortured in
such a way had anything remotely to do with sept 11. And even if they
had, there is such thing as human rights and the Geneva convention.
Or do you still linch niggers in the USA?

What about the 1000s who have innocently died from USA intervention in
Uruguay (my country), Chile, many many other countries, just to save
and protect USA investments?

Get real! USA is part of the world, NOT the world. It should respect
the world, not try to dominate it. There is no excuse whatsoever for
ignoring international treatments, as the USA does, whenever they feel
like it, but preemptively striking against nations who, in USAs own
eyes, do not respect these same treaties USA despises.

Maybe you should just stick to your village, it's safer there. The
wider world might be too much for you :)

Alex

May 24, 2004, 10:43pm

Ciena,

I know this. USA people, like people all around the world, are just
people and deserve my respect. I'm not judging people, I'm just
apalled at what some with so called high moral standards can justify.
This includes the perpetrators of sept 11 (who claim high moral issues
btw) and those of the USA Iraqi torturers and their superiors (who
also claim high moral motives). I'm also apalled at many statements
in this ng, acusing people right and left of hideous things, damaging
their reputations, in the name of high moral standards. Bad things
start small: if you can not respect your neighbour, however different,
you will never respect the world with its many cultures. Those few
servicemen and women could never have done this sort of thing without
knowledge and consent of their superiors, and their superiors too.
"Ich habe es nicht gewust" is no credible excuse, "what they did to
us" even less.

498 is the last 3.4 browser. It is incredible that after all the work
that went into that browser, AW has not updated the 3.4 installer.
Typical.

The fixes in 498 are very important: they concern a long standing
problem caused when avatars fade away (when they leave), which made
browsers crash. If you had avatar animations off, the crashes did not
occur. I spent two weeks testing, and so did many in a Dutch universe
that was having constant problems with crashes. Chrispeg in the end
found the error and managed to fix it.

I hope AW staff reads this and takes a few minutes of their valuable
time to update the installer, for their own glory and for all those
who need it.
