So, I have this little situation… (=_=)
My little island. I like to use it as a hangout and rent a few parcels out to cover part of the tier. It’s not important that the tier is covered in any way, but, I’m not against receiving the help. (^_^)
Pretty much all my current renters are friends or friends’ friends. And, they invite their friends over. I can’t say I know everyone. (^_^)
But, one of my friends comes to me… A very close one, I might add… And lets me know that someone has been accused of being a griefer. Another friend… Another very close one, I might add… (=_=)
And, well, I won’t stand for that. So, I have placed the named accuser on my estate ban list. (>_<)
So, given a friend has been hurt by a friend of a friend, I now have to take my friendly friend of this person into consideration. Confusing, no? I’m not quite sure why I’m not naming names. I’ll blame reflexes for now. (._.)
Now, I’ve been in contact with this friend of a friend and said person is trying to appeal to my emotions that I’m apparently separating the two of them with this land ban… As if there’s no other place on the grid. Add attempts to require me to choose one friend over the other and continuing to spew accusations. Well, that puts me in a spot, don’t it? (=_=)
I mean… Here’s someone I want out of my life and off my sim, insisting that I allow them to do otherwise and using my friendships as ammunition against a personal choice that I’ve made. No… Ain’t gonna fly. (=_=)
My friends, I like you and appreciate your company. I have chosen to un-welcome this person due to gossip, slander, and general rudeness on top of being very entitlistic over how much I should allow them to do with my own property. Please understand where I’m coming from and do what’s best for you just as I’m doing what’s best for me. I desire no conflict. (._.)
I HATE those kinds of situations. I got nothing else, except I admire your being able to do what I can’t -namely to say “I’m going to do what’s good for me, no matter what you say”.
That’s a healthy attitude to take in all parts of life.
I believe that side of me has been tempered by my experience in SL. For sure, I’m far less a doormat than I was when I joined. (^_^)
Cant quite follow this. Who did you ban, the accuser or the accused?
I was probably over-vague. It’s the accuser, though. Someone who went out of their way to be spiteful toward my friend. (._.)
You don’t tell tales….is this a principle? Supposing the accuser had told you the friend had done something really bad?
Taking into consideration what my accusers have said of me, I have grown to trust the accused before the accuser. (>_<)
