the sign CLEARLY says:

Do not feed the trolls.

But yet again I find myself dangling over the same cage, slinging slop at the same damn beast. Why? I don't know. Probably because so many nice people have stood up for me, and I feel the need to both publicly repay that kindness and to draw a line in the sand that will hopefully give us respite (however fleeting -- there's always another troll under the next bridge) from the emotional and intellectual nuisance of immature, passive-aggressive personal attacks.

To be clear, for those who sling stones but call them cupcakes, this is a personal attack:

Well lets just say this, Lady J has way too much time on her hands. Lets ask ourselves this, does she work? Does she have any kind of love life? Does she have a life outside of work and Neurocam? Of course I'm assuming she does and this is not a personal attack on her at all.

I don't care if you want to speculate about my level of involvement with Neurocam. But don't try to pass off crap like the above as "opinion," and get all righteous about protecting it. There's a word for people who do that, darling.

Conspiracy theory - the REAL roots of Neurocam. Don't let the overenthused speculators get to you, Lady J. *pats* For all we know, this is how Graham first got accused, and maybe Neurocam just ran with it. In either case, I maintain my "levels upon levels of people gaming the game".

So what do we do? Get offended, deny (and rightfully so). And then settle back to playing the game... or game back? ;)

Thanks, Z. I'm beginning to understand now how Graham and Tript and Xade must feel, people looking at them all slant-eyed. Although that's not such a big deal, after the initial weirdness of it all. Yeah, you just roll with it.

It's the bile I referenced above that's just lame. Irrelevant and spiteful. Anonymous bloggers need to realize that other anonymous bloggers are people too.

(Now there's a tagline just waiting for a t-shirt...)

I think I'm going to ask Neurocam for a raise -- they don't pay me enough to put up with this shit.

Think they'll give me health care?

Maybe some of these anonymous doubters need to put some of their energy into finding out what Archavida is!

Nobody seems to have the slightest idea and despite many comments about it - there has been no substance.

btw, can someone please tell me what PGP is ? They mention it on the archavida web site.

PGP = Pretty Good Privacy

"Maybe some of these anonymous doubters need to put some of their energy into..."

...actually leaving their email so that they aren't seen as hypocrites sounding like they’re sprucing rubbish. Which means, as you likely know, it really isn’t worth buying;)

Indeed "there has been no substance."

I guess some people just dont want to get spam in their inbox.

There seems a few people are regularly contributing to neurocam / archavida type discussion by using the same alias.I wouldn't get too picky about them not wanting to leave their email addy, so long as they are consistenly using the same alias and we know who they are.

What's all this neurocam stuff about? Is it a school project?

[lady j]

Oh boy. The short answer? Start here:

So it is a school project. Gawd, those art students... always such madcaps.
