Idiots are plentiful these days, what would we do without them?
Geniuses are rare, but what would it be like without them?
That's is the question.

but your also not gay.. your a 30 yr old hetero.. believe it or not =
based on the childhoods and images thrown into society asking "are gays =
allowed here" is not neccessarily as much as an absurd question as one =
might think. Perhaps this person has had negative experiences because =
of his sexuality and is asking so he knows weather he should leave to =
prevent another unneccessary experience or not.

(I know I cross posted this on worldbuilders, but this topic needs =
to get more exposure to the rest of the community. It's an important =
issue)

Everyday, I come across world owners who play God and eject people =
who don't fit in with the rest. Just today, my friend was ejected from =
not one, but three worlds for simply stating that he was gay. What is =
shocking is that these were all AWLD owned worlds, not just privately =
owned worlds. Here is what my friend who happens to be a tourist and gay =
in real life sent me in an e-mail this morning. (Note: In the first =
convo, my friend's name is "I love Craig", and the GK who ejected him =
was named flynn 1.)


"I am use to just staying in private worlds all the time because a =
majority of AW doesn't like gays and don't think too highly upon them. I =
decided that it was time to come out of hiding and visit some public AW =
worlds. I started off by asking if gays were allowed to be there, =
because usually if someone finds out I am gay they will eject me or =
torment me for it. Here is my first visit to awgate... (note: I had to =
cut short some of the comments made by other people not affiliated with =
the situation to save you time on reading it)

Immigration Officer: Welcome to the Gateway to Active Worlds!
"x plorer": h

"x plorer": e

"x plorer": l

"x plorer": l

"x plorer": o

flynn 1: x plorer, be careful hon, the bot dont like ppl to scroll =
:)

"x plorer": okay flynn sorry=20

flynn 1: no prob x plorer, i'd hate you to get booted :)

"I love Craig": hello=20

flynn 1: hi i love craig :)

"CYBORG": Hi

"x plorer": You love Craig!!!!!

"I love Craig": hi flynn

flynn 1: no i dont!!!!

Anonymizer: Privacy Is Our Right !

Zerena: Does anyone know why an imigration officer would eject =
someone?

"I love Craig": I am just wondering, but are gay people allowed =
here?

"I love Craig": because usually I get ejected if someone finds out I =
am gay

flynn 1: hope you are not gonna bring yer bugs to my party :(

flynn 1: we have children here i love craig, we dont have that talk =
here ok?

Zerena: Do you know why imigration would eject someone?

"I love Craig": I am just asking

"I love Craig": no reason for an attitude

flynn 1: I love craig, please stop this now =20
"I love Craig": I do not deserve to be treated this way

flynn 1: oh be quiet you fool, cant you see that it isnt suitable =
chat for a place with kids?

"I love Craig": I do not respect you calling me a fool, flynn

"I love Craig": you are the fool here sir

dUNcE: u are being treated the way gays should be

flynn 1: & i dont care!

"I love Craig": thats exactly the attitude that I dont respect

"I love Craig": "you just don't care" about things

flynn 1: so, report me if you have to. I don't care

"I love Craig": Very well, I will see to it that your status gets =
revoked as gatekeeper

Lady TeaL: This is a place to have fun, not to be tormented by =
homosexuals

"CYBORG": Go ahead eject him

dUNcE: Craig...u can do all the reporting u want..we will all stick =
up 4 flynn

flynn 1: tx ppl

"CYBORG": Homophobe

"I love Craig": well you are just gonna protect flynn whenever he =
gets in trouble

"I love Craig": and then he is just gonna do it again after this

flynn 1: craig, now i'm asking you to stop or leave

"I love Craig": stop what exactly?

"CYBORG": Flyynn needs a big gay man to givr him a lap dance

"I love Craig": I have done nothing wrong


"I love Craig": except being gay...which in your mind is wrong

dUNcE: flynn is a woman u divvocks

Sea Swallow: flynn is not saying its wrong .... just not a subject =
for the gate

"CYBORG": Do you want a lap dance too?

"I love Craig": what is the subject again...refresh my memory

flynn 1: stop this now or I will have to remove you

UsuL 2: Cyborg , you need to keep your comments G -rated too

"CYBORG": You need one

"CYBORG": A lap dance on your laptop

flynn 1: gay people aren't suitable for children in the gate

flynn 1: If someone offends you in any way, remember you can mute =
them by right clicking on their avatar & selecting mute........Wonderful =
feature!

"I love Craig": I don't mean to be rude...but there are children of =
the homosexual decent

UsuL 2: lap dances are hardly G-rated

flynn 1: If you are unsure of the few rules we have here, please =
type "world ruIes" you will be shown our guidelines... thank you!

"I love Craig": world rules

"CYBORG": Howq do you know what a lap dance is? Ms. G-rated

"I love Craig": I don't mean to stir an arguement

"I love Craig": but I just want to remain in the gate for being =
myself and nothing else

dUNcE: wtf has flynn done anyway Craig?

"I love Craig": flynn has been wanting to eject me because I am gay

Luggage: Is there a GK on duty ?

"I love Craig": and my name isn't craig

SMOKE JUMPER1: thats your freedom of choice but i dont want too see =
it

"I love Craig": it's who I love, not my real name

Lady TeaL: Craig leave it alone She is just doing her Job She isn't =
against anyone

"I love Craig": but she is doing her job wrong. she is clearly =
against gays

"MentalyDisturbed": no GKs on duty!!! to good to be true

"CYBORG": You can[t help who you love -- yoou

"CYBORG": you're just gay

"I love Craig": and where does it say in her job descirption that =
you eject homosexual people?

"I love Craig": homosexuals are people too, you know

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

After I was ejected for simply being who I am, I wanted to see if I =
would be ejected from other worlds for being gay too. I headed on over =
to AWTeen, and the rest explains itself.

Also note what CYBORG has said through the entire convo. He =
continually expresses offensive comments, yet the GK's only go as far as =
warning him and CYBORG still doesn't stop. Obviously the GK's don't =
really care as much about offensive comments than they do about gay =
people.

Immigration Officer: Welcome to AWTeen! Be sure to attend the Date =
That Geek competition today at 7PM VRT! More information can be found at =
www.shoemakervillage.org/geek.html! A public meeting will be held today =
at 5PM at 19s 3e with XelNaga, Elana87, and MoonBeam!

[Customs Aide]: Welcome, "I love Craig". For the Conduct Guidelines =
please say World Rules or see http://www.activeworlds.com/conduct.html

[Chess Bot]: Welcome to AWTeen, "I love Craig"! Come to the AWTeen =
Game Center South of GZ to play a game of chess or tic-tac-toe! More =
games will be added soon!

"I love Craig": hello

"I love Craig": are gay people allowed in this world or no?

TrekkerX: yes unfortunaly

"I love Craig": unfortunately?

"I love Craig": why is being gay a bad thing?

TrekkerX: goto theworld Gay for gays you gay

"I love Craig": no I will stay here

TrekkerX: i dont like gays

"I love Craig": well that is your problem

TrekkerX: they do werd things to me

Nornny: who even does like gays these days?

"I love Craig": but please dont start an arugment with me about =
being gay

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awteen

This one was a lot shorter than the first. I wasn't even given a =
warning for "being gay".

As you can see, I am deeply hurt by all this. The combined =
immaturity and the lack of respect for other people make your little GK =
"helping hand" program a disgrace. You should enforce better screenings, =
and mandatory monitoring of all GK and PK related activity. And =
violation should result to a punishment that equal to the guideline =
broken. If someone applies to be a GK or a PK, they should first become =
a Junior PK or GK or something of the same equivalency. They will be =
monitored and tested at random times without them knowing to see how =
they handle certain situations. Maybe you should even go as far as =
policing your own police. Right now you have the GKs and PKs policing =
the community, yet no one policing them. Setting up an internal or =
external affairs unit would resolve all conflicts between GKs & PKs and =
the community. They should stop playing God, because there not good at =
it. Please do something...

My people have spoken"

This kind of stuff shouldn't be happening and it is a disgrace that =
not only is it happening in the real world, but also online. You all =
should be ashamed of yourselves for depriving someone of there fun on =
the internet simply because of who they are.

Well tell me something, why is he bringing up that "hes gay" in every =
world, if you ask me Internal, hes like welcoming the ejections, I don't =
have anything against gays, but you usually don't walk up to someone and =
ask if heterosexuals are allowed in the world.

flynn 1: gay people aren't suitable for children in the gate

flynn 1: If someone offends you in any way, remember you can mute them =
by right clicking on their avatar & selecting mute........Wonderful =
feature!

"I love Craig": I don't mean to be rude...but there are children of =
the homosexual decent

UsuL 2: lap dances are hardly G-rated

flynn 1: If you are unsure of the few rules we have here, please type =
"world ruIes" you will be shown our guidelines... thank you!

"I love Craig": world rules

"CYBORG": Howq do you know what a lap dance is? Ms. G-rated

"I love Craig": I don't mean to stir an arguement

Luggage: Is there a GK on duty ?

"I love Craig": and my name isn't craig

Lady TeaL: Craig leave it alone She is just doing her Job She isn't =
against anyone

"I love Craig": but she is doing her job wrong. she is clearly against =
gays

"MentalyDisturbed": no GKs on duty!!! to good to be true

"CYBORG": You can[t help who you love -- yoou

"CYBORG": you're just gay

"I love Craig": and where does it say in her job descirption that you =
eject homosexual people?

"I love Craig": homosexuals are people too, you know

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

After I was ejected for simply being who I am, I wanted to see if I =
would be ejected from other worlds for being gay too. I headed on over =
to AWTeen, and the rest explains itself.

Also note what CYBORG has said through the entire convo. He =
continually expresses offensive comments, yet the GK's only go as far as =
warning him and CYBORG still doesn't stop. Obviously the GK's don't =
really care as much about offensive comments than they do about gay =
people.

Immigration Officer: Welcome to AWTeen! Be sure to attend the Date =
That Geek competition today at 7PM VRT! More information can be found at =
www.shoemakervillage.org/geek.html! A public meeting will be held today =
at 5PM at 19s 3e with XelNaga, Elana87, and MoonBeam!

[Customs Aide]: Welcome, "I love Craig". For the Conduct Guidelines =
please say World Rules or see http://www.activeworlds.com/conduct.html

[Chess Bot]: Welcome to AWTeen, "I love Craig"! Come to the AWTeen =
Game Center South of GZ to play a game of chess or tic-tac-toe! More =
games will be added soon!

"I love Craig": hello

"I love Craig": are gay people allowed in this world or no?

TrekkerX: yes unfortunaly

"I love Craig": unfortunately?

"I love Craig": why is being gay a bad thing?

TrekkerX: goto theworld Gay for gays you gay

"I love Craig": no I will stay here

TrekkerX: i dont like gays

"I love Craig": well that is your problem

TrekkerX: they do werd things to me

Nornny: who even does like gays these days?

"I love Craig": but please dont start an arugment with me about being =
gay

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awteen

This one was a lot shorter than the first. I wasn't even given a =
warning for "being gay".

As you can see, I am deeply hurt by all this. The combined immaturity =
and the lack of respect for other people make your little GK "helping =
hand" program a disgrace. You should enforce better screenings, and =
mandatory monitoring of all GK and PK related activity. And violation =
should result to a punishment that equal to the guideline broken. If =
someone applies to be a GK or a PK, they should first become a Junior PK =
or GK or something of the same equivalency. They will be monitored and =
tested at random times without them knowing to see how they handle =
certain situations. Maybe you should even go as far as policing your own =
police. Right now you have the GKs and PKs policing the community, yet =
no one policing them. Setting up an internal or external affairs unit =
would resolve all conflicts between GKs & PKs and the community. They =
should stop playing God, because there not good at it. Please do =
something...

My people have spoken"

This kind of stuff shouldn't be happening and it is a disgrace that =
not only is it happening in the real world, but also online. You all =
should be ashamed of yourselves for depriving someone of there fun on =
the internet simply because of who they are.

now i did the same thing in junodome... i was treated the same way HOWEVER
the gk there stated that SEXUAL comments in ANY WAY were not appropiate
for children therfore they were not at fault that time... but flynn 1 DIDNT
say that- i dont think that if you take this to AWCOM shell be removed...
she may be kicked off duty for a while at most

Count Dracula, just *think*: if you came in saying that, ppl would =
probably laugh and say: of course it's ok... and everyone would dismiss =
the matter. The GK, as I see it, should try to deflate matters, not the =
other way round. His/her answer could have been: "yes, of course you're =
welcome..." and could have added, in whisper: "we prefer that these =
matters not be discussed here too much, to avoid arguments". But the =
GK's attitude polarised the matter, took an agressive approach, =
consolidating prejudices against gay people. I think this attitude was =
wrong, and I hope AWCOM will realise this and appologise. One does not =
need to be gay to learn to respect other peoples inclinations and, =
frankly, this sort of anti-gay attitude has no place in the 21st =
century, in my humble opinion. The argument used that children were =
present is rubbish: children see all this all the time, on TV, in the =
streets, at home. There was no blatant sexual talk, just a normal =
question and a statement. It was the GK's attitude that polarised the =
matter.

My 2 cents.

(I know I cross posted this on worldbuilders, but this topic needs =
to get more exposure to the rest of the community. It's an important =
issue)

Everyday, I come across world owners who play God and eject people =
who don't fit in with the rest. Just today, my friend was ejected from =
not one, but three worlds for simply stating that he was gay. What is =
shocking is that these were all AWLD owned worlds, not just privately =
owned worlds. Here is what my friend who happens to be a tourist and gay =
in real life sent me in an e-mail this morning. (Note: In the first =
convo, my friend's name is "I love Craig", and the GK who ejected him =
was named flynn 1.)


"I am use to just staying in private worlds all the time because a =
majority of AW doesn't like gays and don't think too highly upon them. I =
decided that it was time to come out of hiding and visit some public AW =
worlds. I started off by asking if gays were allowed to be there, =
because usually if someone finds out I am gay they will eject me or =
torment me for it. Here is my first visit to awgate... (note: I had to =
cut short some of the comments made by other people not affiliated with =
the situation to save you time on reading it)

Zerena: Do you know why imigration would eject someone?

"I love Craig": I do not deserve to be treated this way

flynn 1: oh be quiet you fool, cant you see that it isnt suitable =
chat for a place with kids?

"I love Craig": I do not respect you calling me a fool, flynn

"I love Craig": you are the fool here sir

dUNcE: u are being treated the way gays should be

flynn 1: & i dont care!

"I love Craig": thats exactly the attitude that I dont respect

"I love Craig": "you just don't care" about things

flynn 1: so, report me if you have to. I don't care

"I love Craig": Very well, I will see to it that your status gets =
revoked as gatekeeper

Lady TeaL: This is a place to have fun, not to be tormented by =
homosexuals

"CYBORG": Go ahead eject him

dUNcE: Craig...u can do all the reporting u want..we will all stick =

flynn 1: tx ppl

"CYBORG": Homophobe

"I love Craig": well you are just gonna protect flynn whenever he =
gets in trouble

"I love Craig": and then he is just gonna do it again after this

flynn 1: craig, now i'm asking you to stop or leave

"I love Craig": stop what exactly?

"CYBORG": Flyynn needs a big gay man to givr him a lap dance

"I love Craig": I have done nothing wrong


"I love Craig": except being gay...which in your mind is wrong

dUNcE: flynn is a woman u divvocks

Sea Swallow: flynn is not saying its wrong .... just not a subject =
for the gate

"CYBORG": Do you want a lap dance too?

"I love Craig": what is the subject again...refresh my memory

flynn 1: stop this now or I will have to remove you

UsuL 2: Cyborg , you need to keep your comments G -rated too

"CYBORG": You need one

"CYBORG": A lap dance on your laptop

flynn 1: gay people aren't suitable for children in the gate

flynn 1: If someone offends you in any way, remember you can mute =
them by right clicking on their avatar & selecting mute........Wonderful =
feature!

"I love Craig": I don't mean to be rude...but there are children of =
the homosexual decent

UsuL 2: lap dances are hardly G-rated

flynn 1: If you are unsure of the few rules we have here, please =
type "world ruIes" you will be shown our guidelines... thank you!

"I love Craig": world rules

"CYBORG": Howq do you know what a lap dance is? Ms. G-rated

"I love Craig": I don't mean to stir an arguement

"I love Craig": but I just want to remain in the gate for being =
myself and nothing else

dUNcE: wtf has flynn done anyway Craig?

"I love Craig": flynn has been wanting to eject me because I am gay

Luggage: Is there a GK on duty ?

"I love Craig": and my name isn't craig

SMOKE JUMPER1: thats your freedom of choice but i dont want too see =
it

"I love Craig": it's who I love, not my real name

Lady TeaL: Craig leave it alone She is just doing her Job She isn't =
against anyone

"I love Craig": but she is doing her job wrong. she is clearly =
against gays

"MentalyDisturbed": no GKs on duty!!! to good to be true

"CYBORG": You can[t help who you love -- yoou

"CYBORG": you're just gay

"I love Craig": and where does it say in her job descirption that =
you eject homosexual people?

"I love Craig": homosexuals are people too, you know

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

After I was ejected for simply being who I am, I wanted to see if I =
would be ejected from other worlds for being gay too. I headed on over =
to AWTeen, and the rest explains itself.

Also note what CYBORG has said through the entire convo. He =
continually expresses offensive comments, yet the GK's only go as far as =
warning him and CYBORG still doesn't stop. Obviously the GK's don't =
really care as much about offensive comments than they do about gay =
people.

Immigration Officer: Welcome to AWTeen! Be sure to attend the Date =
That Geek competition today at 7PM VRT! More information can be found at =

Game Center South of GZ to play a game of chess or tic-tac-toe! More =
games will be added soon!

"I love Craig": hello

"I love Craig": are gay people allowed in this world or no?

TrekkerX: yes unfortunaly

"I love Craig": unfortunately?

"I love Craig": why is being gay a bad thing?

TrekkerX: goto theworld Gay for gays you gay

"I love Craig": no I will stay here

TrekkerX: i dont like gays

"I love Craig": well that is your problem

TrekkerX: they do werd things to me

Nornny: who even does like gays these days?

"I love Craig": but please dont start an arugment with me about =
being gay

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awteen

This one was a lot shorter than the first. I wasn't even given a =
warning for "being gay".

As you can see, I am deeply hurt by all this. The combined =
immaturity and the lack of respect for other people make your little GK =
"helping hand" program a disgrace. You should enforce better screenings, =
and mandatory monitoring of all GK and PK related activity. And =
violation should result to a punishment that equal to the guideline =
broken. If someone applies to be a GK or a PK, they should first become =
a Junior PK or GK or something of the same equivalency. They will be =
monitored and tested at random times without them knowing to see how =
they handle certain situations. Maybe you should even go as far as =
policing your own police. Right now you have the GKs and PKs policing =
the community, yet no one policing them. Setting up an internal or =
external affairs unit would resolve all conflicts between GKs & PKs and =
the community. They should stop playing God, because there not good at =
it. Please do something...

My people have spoken"

This kind of stuff shouldn't be happening and it is a disgrace that =
not only is it happening in the real world, but also online. You all =
should be ashamed of yourselves for depriving someone of there fun on =
the internet simply because of who they are.

I think its an important issue too, and since its been proved that at least
one of the enclosed logs was not true, theres no doubt the other was
modified as well.

Therefore, it would appear your friend is deliberately falsifying
information to try and prove a point, apart from their initial overly
antagonistic approach.

Prior to posting huge inflametory posts like this and trying to raise a
storm, I suggest you first confront your friend and ask him why it was
falsified. I submit that gay people, of either sex have enough trouble in
this world due to irrational responses from other people, that to have one
whos going around deliberately stirring up trouble and trying to provoke a
negative response is actually doing them more disservice than help.

The issue of how individuals treat gays is not helped this way, its
hindered.

also re-inforces the idea that you can better hide who you are or get =
ejected... therefore, gays are not welcome, that is the conclusion I =
must draw from these 2 incidents.

As I said before, it would have been much better to welcome the person =
as a gay person, and maybe talk privately to him saying whatever the GK =
though s/he ought to say... This could have been a great opportunity =
which was missed. In fact, I think a big injustice was commited here.

Count Dracula, just *think*: if you came in saying that, ppl would =

welcome..." and could have added, in whisper: "we prefer that these =

wrong, and I hope AWCOM will realise this and appologise. One does not =

frankly, this sort of anti-gay attitude has no place in the 21st =
century, in my humble opinion. The argument used that children were =
present is rubbish: children see all this all the time, on TV, in the =
streets, at home. There was no blatant sexual talk, just a normal =
question and a statement. It was the GK's attitude that polarised the =
matter.

My 2 cents.

In both the dereks little experaments and craigs i seen 2 things in comon
multiple warning to stop.
both times they did not both times ejected.
2 difrent gks same result difrent ways of handeling the same thing.
ould flynn have handeled it dirfrently maybe a little by saying we do not
allow sexxualy related chat of any sort in aw gate.
when in colony city security i had to warn 3 times first in wisper then
tiwce in public and we also had similar rules about sexual chat none was
alowed none at all no are gays alowed here no lets have sex saying ether was
the same im sure aws gk/pk guide lines are very similar in this regard.
also ips were logged the first thing we had to do in any case was check the
users ip in question against a list of previous afenders if they had been
ejected do to same sort of thing beforethey got no warning.

Well see he is use to getting ejected from private worlds when someone =

[View Quote] Everyday, I come across world owners who play God and eject people =
who don't fit in with the rest. Just today, my friend was ejected from =
not one, but three worlds for simply stating that he was gay. What is =
shocking is that these were all AWLD owned worlds, not just privately =
owned worlds. Here is what my friend who happens to be a tourist and gay =
in real life sent me in an e-mail this morning. (Note: In the first =
convo, my friend's name is "I love Craig", and the GK who ejected him =
was named flynn 1.)


"I am use to just staying in private worlds all the time because a =
majority of AW doesn't like gays and don't think too highly upon them. I =
decided that it was time to come out of hiding and visit some public AW =
worlds. I started off by asking if gays were allowed to be there, =
because usually if someone finds out I am gay they will eject me or =
torment me for it. Here is my first visit to awgate... (note: I had to =
cut short some of the comments made by other people not affiliated with =
the situation to save you time on reading it)

Immigration Officer: Welcome to the Gateway to Active Worlds!
"x plorer": h

"x plorer": e

"x plorer": l

"x plorer": l

"x plorer": o

flynn 1: x plorer, be careful hon, the bot dont like ppl to scroll =
:)

"x plorer": okay flynn sorry=20

flynn 1: no prob x plorer, i'd hate you to get booted :)

"I love Craig": hello=20

flynn 1: hi i love craig :)

"CYBORG": Hi

"x plorer": You love Craig!!!!!

"I love Craig": hi flynn

flynn 1: no i dont!!!!

Anonymizer: Privacy Is Our Right !

Zerena: Does anyone know why an imigration officer would eject =
someone?

"I love Craig": I am just wondering, but are gay people allowed =
here?

"I love Craig": because usually I get ejected if someone finds out I =
am gay

flynn 1: hope you are not gonna bring yer bugs to my party :(

flynn 1: we have children here i love craig, we dont have that talk =
here ok?

Zerena: Do you know why imigration would eject someone?

"I love Craig": I am just asking

"I love Craig": no reason for an attitude

flynn 1: I love craig, please stop this now =20
"I love Craig": I do not deserve to be treated this way

flynn 1: oh be quiet you fool, cant you see that it isnt suitable =
chat for a place with kids?

"I love Craig": I do not respect you calling me a fool, flynn

"I love Craig": you are the fool here sir

dUNcE: u are being treated the way gays should be

flynn 1: & i dont care!

"I love Craig": thats exactly the attitude that I dont respect

"I love Craig": "you just don't care" about things

flynn 1: so, report me if you have to. I don't care

"I love Craig": Very well, I will see to it that your status gets =
revoked as gatekeeper

Lady TeaL: This is a place to have fun, not to be tormented by =
homosexuals

"CYBORG": Go ahead eject him

dUNcE: Craig...u can do all the reporting u want..we will all stick =
up 4 flynn

flynn 1: tx ppl

"CYBORG": Homophobe

"I love Craig": well you are just gonna protect flynn whenever he =
gets in trouble

"I love Craig": and then he is just gonna do it again after this

flynn 1: craig, now i'm asking you to stop or leave

"I love Craig": stop what exactly?

"CYBORG": Flyynn needs a big gay man to givr him a lap dance

"I love Craig": I have done nothing wrong


"I love Craig": except being gay...which in your mind is wrong

dUNcE: flynn is a woman u divvocks

Sea Swallow: flynn is not saying its wrong .... just not a subject =
for the gate

"CYBORG": Do you want a lap dance too?

"I love Craig": what is the subject again...refresh my memory

flynn 1: stop this now or I will have to remove you

UsuL 2: Cyborg , you need to keep your comments G -rated too

"CYBORG": You need one

"CYBORG": A lap dance on your laptop

flynn 1: gay people aren't suitable for children in the gate

flynn 1: If someone offends you in any way, remember you can mute =
them by right clicking on their avatar & selecting mute........Wonderful =
feature!

"I love Craig": I don't mean to be rude...but there are children of =
the homosexual decent

UsuL 2: lap dances are hardly G-rated

flynn 1: If you are unsure of the few rules we have here, please =
type "world ruIes" you will be shown our guidelines... thank you!

"I love Craig": world rules

"CYBORG": Howq do you know what a lap dance is? Ms. G-rated

"I love Craig": I don't mean to stir an arguement

"I love Craig": but I just want to remain in the gate for being =
myself and nothing else

dUNcE: wtf has flynn done anyway Craig?

"I love Craig": flynn has been wanting to eject me because I am gay

Luggage: Is there a GK on duty ?

"I love Craig": and my name isn't craig

SMOKE JUMPER1: thats your freedom of choice but i dont want too see =
it

"I love Craig": it's who I love, not my real name

Lady TeaL: Craig leave it alone She is just doing her Job She isn't =
against anyone

"I love Craig": but she is doing her job wrong. she is clearly =
against gays

"MentalyDisturbed": no GKs on duty!!! to good to be true

"CYBORG": You can[t help who you love -- yoou

"CYBORG": you're just gay

"I love Craig": and where does it say in her job descirption that =
you eject homosexual people?

"I love Craig": homosexuals are people too, you know

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

After I was ejected for simply being who I am, I wanted to see if I =
would be ejected from other worlds for being gay too. I headed on over =
to AWTeen, and the rest explains itself.

Also note what CYBORG has said through the entire convo. He =
continually expresses offensive comments, yet the GK's only go as far as =
warning him and CYBORG still doesn't stop. Obviously the GK's don't =
really care as much about offensive comments than they do about gay =
people.

Immigration Officer: Welcome to AWTeen! Be sure to attend the Date =
That Geek competition today at 7PM VRT! More information can be found at =
www.shoemakervillage.org/geek.html! A public meeting will be held today =
at 5PM at 19s 3e with XelNaga, Elana87, and MoonBeam!

[Customs Aide]: Welcome, "I love Craig". For the Conduct Guidelines =
please say World Rules or see http://www.activeworlds.com/conduct.html

[Chess Bot]: Welcome to AWTeen, "I love Craig"! Come to the AWTeen =
Game Center South of GZ to play a game of chess or tic-tac-toe! More =
games will be added soon!

"I love Craig": hello

"I love Craig": are gay people allowed in this world or no?

TrekkerX: yes unfortunaly

"I love Craig": unfortunately?

"I love Craig": why is being gay a bad thing?

TrekkerX: goto theworld Gay for gays you gay

"I love Craig": no I will stay here

TrekkerX: i dont like gays

"I love Craig": well that is your problem

TrekkerX: they do werd things to me

Nornny: who even does like gays these days?

"I love Craig": but please dont start an arugment with me about =
being gay

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awteen

This one was a lot shorter than the first. I wasn't even given a =
warning for "being gay".

As you can see, I am deeply hurt by all this. The combined =
immaturity and the lack of respect for other people make your little GK =
"helping hand" program a disgrace. You should enforce better screenings, =
and mandatory monitoring of all GK and PK related activity. And =
violation should result to a punishment that equal to the guideline =
broken. If someone applies to be a GK or a PK, they should first become =
a Junior PK or GK or something of the same equivalency. They will be =
monitored and tested at random times without them knowing to see how =
they handle certain situations. Maybe you should even go as far as =
policing your own police. Right now you have the GKs and PKs policing =
the community, yet no one policing them. Setting up an internal or =
external affairs unit would resolve all conflicts between GKs & PKs and =
the community. They should stop playing God, because there not good at =
it. Please do something...

My people have spoken"

This kind of stuff shouldn't be happening and it is a disgrace that =
not only is it happening in the real world, but also online. You all =
should be ashamed of yourselves for depriving someone of there fun on =
the internet simply because of who they are.

Wrong, it's not the end of the story.


>He asked if it was alright if he was gay in AWGate and they told him that
> sexual content was not allowed. END OF STORY.

He did not reply with: sexual content was not allowed. He replied with
""""""flynn 1: hope you are not gonna bring yer bugs to my party :(""""

Then added:

"""""flynn 1: we have children here i love craig, we dont have that talk
here ok?"""""

I for one can't blame I Love Craig for takeing offence when he replyed:

""""""I love Craig": I am just asking

"I love Craig": no reason for an attitude"""""""

Then flynn replied:

"""""""flynn 1: I love craig, please stop this now"""""
I don't see that I love Craig did anything that needed stopped. He was not
the one who was provokeing here, flynn 1 was.

If flynn 1 had actually replied with, sexual content is not allowed, but you
are allowed here, instead of """"""flynn 1: hope you are not gonna bring
yer bugs to my party :("""" maybe there wouldn't have been a problem. :)

Count Dracula, just *think*: if you came in saying that, ppl would =
probably laugh and say: of course it's ok... and everyone would dismiss =
the matter. The GK, as I see it, should try to deflate matters, not the =
other way round. His/her answer could have been: "yes, of course you're =
welcome..." and could have added, in whisper: "we prefer that these =
matters not be discussed here too much, to avoid arguments". But the =
GK's attitude polarised the matter, took an agressive approach, =
consolidating prejudices against gay people. I think this attitude was =
wrong, and I hope AWCOM will realise this and appologise. One does not =
need to be gay to learn to respect other peoples inclinations and, =
frankly, this sort of anti-gay attitude has no place in the 21st =
century, in my humble opinion. The argument used that children were =
present is rubbish: children see all this all the time, on TV, in the =
streets, at home. There was no blatant sexual talk, just a normal =
question and a statement. It was the GK's attitude that polarised the =
matter.

My 2 cents.

[View Quote] Everyday, I come across world owners who play God and eject people =
who don't fit in with the rest. Just today, my friend was ejected from =
not one, but three worlds for simply stating that he was gay. What is =
shocking is that these were all AWLD owned worlds, not just privately =
owned worlds. Here is what my friend who happens to be a tourist and gay =
in real life sent me in an e-mail this morning. (Note: In the first =
convo, my friend's name is "I love Craig", and the GK who ejected him =
was named flynn 1.)


"I am use to just staying in private worlds all the time because a =
majority of AW doesn't like gays and don't think too highly upon them. I =
decided that it was time to come out of hiding and visit some public AW =
worlds. I started off by asking if gays were allowed to be there, =
because usually if someone finds out I am gay they will eject me or =
torment me for it. Here is my first visit to awgate... (note: I had to =
cut short some of the comments made by other people not affiliated with =
the situation to save you time on reading it)

flynn 1: hope you are not gonna bring yer bugs to my party :(

Zerena: Do you know why imigration would eject someone?

"I love Craig": I am just asking

"I love Craig": no reason for an attitude

flynn 1: I love craig, please stop this now =20
"I love Craig": I do not deserve to be treated this way

flynn 1: oh be quiet you fool, cant you see that it isnt suitable =
chat for a place with kids?

"I love Craig": I do not respect you calling me a fool, flynn

"I love Craig": you are the fool here sir

dUNcE: u are being treated the way gays should be

flynn 1: & i dont care!

"I love Craig": thats exactly the attitude that I dont respect

"I love Craig": "you just don't care" about things

flynn 1: so, report me if you have to. I don't care

"I love Craig": Very well, I will see to it that your status gets =
revoked as gatekeeper

Lady TeaL: This is a place to have fun, not to be tormented by =
homosexuals

"CYBORG": Go ahead eject him

dUNcE: Craig...u can do all the reporting u want..we will all stick =
up 4 flynn

flynn 1: tx ppl

"CYBORG": Homophobe

"I love Craig": well you are just gonna protect flynn whenever he =
gets in trouble

"I love Craig": and then he is just gonna do it again after this

flynn 1: craig, now i'm asking you to stop or leave

"I love Craig": stop what exactly?

"CYBORG": Flyynn needs a big gay man to givr him a lap dance

"I love Craig": I have done nothing wrong


"I love Craig": except being gay...which in your mind is wrong

dUNcE: flynn is a woman u divvocks

Sea Swallow: flynn is not saying its wrong .... just not a subject =
for the gate

"CYBORG": Do you want a lap dance too?

"I love Craig": what is the subject again...refresh my memory

flynn 1: stop this now or I will have to remove you

UsuL 2: Cyborg , you need to keep your comments G -rated too

"CYBORG": You need one

"CYBORG": A lap dance on your laptop

flynn 1: gay people aren't suitable for children in the gate

flynn 1: If someone offends you in any way, remember you can mute =
them by right clicking on their avatar & selecting mute........Wonderful =
feature!

"I love Craig": I don't mean to be rude...but there are children of =
the homosexual decent

UsuL 2: lap dances are hardly G-rated

flynn 1: If you are unsure of the few rules we have here, please =
type "world ruIes" you will be shown our guidelines... thank you!

"I love Craig": world rules

"CYBORG": Howq do you know what a lap dance is? Ms. G-rated

"I love Craig": I don't mean to stir an arguement

"I love Craig": but I just want to remain in the gate for being =
myself and nothing else

dUNcE: wtf has flynn done anyway Craig?

"I love Craig": flynn has been wanting to eject me because I am gay

Luggage: Is there a GK on duty ?

"I love Craig": and my name isn't craig

SMOKE JUMPER1: thats your freedom of choice but i dont want too see =
it

"I love Craig": it's who I love, not my real name

Lady TeaL: Craig leave it alone She is just doing her Job She isn't =
against anyone

"I love Craig": but she is doing her job wrong. she is clearly =
against gays

"MentalyDisturbed": no GKs on duty!!! to good to be true

"CYBORG": You can[t help who you love -- yoou

"CYBORG": you're just gay

"I love Craig": and where does it say in her job descirption that =
you eject homosexual people?

"I love Craig": homosexuals are people too, you know

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

After I was ejected for simply being who I am, I wanted to see if I =
would be ejected from other worlds for being gay too. I headed on over =
to AWTeen, and the rest explains itself.

Also note what CYBORG has said through the entire convo. He =
continually expresses offensive comments, yet the GK's only go as far as =
warning him and CYBORG still doesn't stop. Obviously the GK's don't =
really care as much about offensive comments than they do about gay =
people.

"I love Craig": unfortunately?

"I love Craig": why is being gay a bad thing?

TrekkerX: goto theworld Gay for gays you gay

"I love Craig": no I will stay here

TrekkerX: i dont like gays

TrekkerX: they do werd things to me

Nornny: who even does like gays these days?

"I love Craig": but please dont start an arugment with me about =
being gay

Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awteen

This one was a lot shorter than the first. I wasn't even given a =
warning for "being gay".

As you can see, I am deeply hurt by all this. The combined =
immaturity and the lack of respect for other people make your little GK =
"helping hand" program a disgrace. You should enforce better screenings, =

This kind of stuff shouldn't be happening and it is a disgrace that =
not only is it happening in the real world, but also online. You all =

"saying we do not allow sexxualy related chat "

You are missing the point, nova. It was not "sexually related chat". The guy
merely asked a question.

It seems that waaaay too big of a deal is being made out of this. Something
I have noticed is that whenever someone of a minority group is even slightly
offended, EVERYTHING goes straight to hell. On the other hand, I would bet
my brand new comp (I love this thing ;-)) that if I were ejected from GZ for
being a Borland C++ programmer, that no one would give a rat's ass about it.

Anyways, enough of the opinion. Some people do not want their children to
know about homosexuality. (How they intend to keep it a secret, I will
never know, however some people are just wierd like that.) I mean think
about it -- do we ever get on anyone's case for talking about sex? Yes! If
someone went to AWGate and told all about how much fun they had the night
before (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) they would be ejected on site and everyone
would pretty much agree, "Good riddance." Well, I don't understand why
anyone would go to the gate and announce that they are gay. I mean, if they
are proud of it, good for them. I personally like girls, and thats the way
it is going to be, but if another guy is otherwise, well thats his own
right. However, it seems idiotic that if you are afraid of being persecuted
about it, to talk about it. I mean if you do not want people to hate you
for what you are, but you know for a fact that they will, why do they have
to know? If "I Love Craig" had come to the Gate with a different name (hey
he wouldn't even have to change his name necessarily), no one would have
ever known he was gay. No one DID know until he spoke up about it.

I am ashamed at this common lack of common sense in the world. Lets drive
through, champs. Think before you do something royally stupid. THE
FOLLOWING IS A DISCLAIMER FOR MY OWN PROTECTION: I am not saying all gay
people are stupid and I am not saying that all gay people have a lack of
common sense. These negative qualities are common all throughout the Human
race, gay and straight alike.

A witch on AW? Do you like ride a broom around as an avatar? I can't believe
that. No wonder why all your objects have to do with witches. Well I know
for one thing I am not buying any objects from you anymore.
