If they'd given word that they were going to do this I would be more OK
with it. However, as it is it was just sprung on Mars users without warning.

I'm assuming at the moment that it was a mistake (however an angry
response usually gets things fixed quicker).

Also, that they own the universe does not justify their behaviour. It
allows it, but doesn't make it intelligent, sensible, friendly OR good
for Active Worlds.

Wow Veger :¬(

How much trouble would it have been for them to edit the registry in the
first place anyway? They could even have just copied the entry from
Alpha World's registry!

It's not your fault.

Wow, you must be really anti-tourist.

Not only did you totally ignore that my post was already a reply to this
exact same point brought up by BinaryBud, but you went ahead and told me
to get a citizenship and stop "freebieing off everyone else."

So, the idea of citizens liking tourists must be so alien to you (wow
you'd make a great Gatekeeper!) that you forgot I have to be a CITIZEN
to post in these forums. Unless of course, you were speaking in general
terms to all tourists, but that's not very nice either.

Yes, really. And that harsh reaction is something I'd expect from Bill

Yes, I did keep those emails ^_^

Everyone knows computers do not think, especially a competent programmer
like XelaG. When you say a computer thinks, it is a metaphor. Many
people do it.

As for "hate campaigns", I would suggest that if you want to stand up
for your country you should defend it with opposing arguments.

"as a concerned citizen of AW, the USA, and the Nation, I'm requesting
that you stop poisoning our minds..."

I'm a concerned citizen of AW, the UK and of Europe. If you believe
XelaG's opinions are pure poison, attempt to prove it. Don't think that
any opinion that doesn't automatically support the USA is poison.

The trouble is, although we all want peace, we don't all agree on the
method of obtaining it.

So if we all censor our opinions, there will be peace. (Your idea.)

So if we all act maturely towards each other's opinions, there will be
peace. (A better idea than your idea.)

Ah the problem is that forced name change is part of the master/slave

"spills over into real life"

No, if women (or men!) want a BDSM relationship they go out and find it.
They have the FREEDOM to do that.


Oh and how many more times will I have to say this? GOREANS ARE NOT
INTERESTED IN CHILDREN.

I'll say it again. GOREANS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN CHILDREN.

Once more for good measure. GOREANS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR DAMN

That's very very very very hard.

And possibly illegal.

To be able to run Windows binaries, well, you basically need to know
everything about Windows, and Microsoft doesn't tell us everything about
Windows.

There are 'compatibility layers' though which are kinda like emulators.
They don't work perfectly, however.
