Even the above precautions are silly and wrong. If you "keep the child avies off the mature areas", you are tacitly admitting that they may be actual children. This is not the truth. Everyone here..is..first and foremost, an avatar. A drawing. A walking cartoon. The grid is limited to adults over the age of 18. It does not matter what type of body parts they are wearing at a given moment. This needs to be pounded into the brains of anyone who says any differently.

Appeasement will not work with these people, as the article above clearly delineates...they will introduce bills and laws over and over and over..regardless of their truth or lack thereof, in order to promulgate their lies and distortions. They have no moral standard whatsoever, and do not care who or how many they hurt in the process of reaching their goals, which is purely the lining of their own pockets with as much money as possible. They must be fought with the truth...spoken over and over again whenever their lies are disseminated.

There are somewhat over 13 million residents or former residents now...all of whom have a better idea of what "virtual" means than that Kirk wingnut will ever have. Somebody must have something on him. These guys are never clean. Get that information to the media. Fight fire with fire. Just keep telling the world the truth. Children are not allowed. Any children found are removed. If he knows of any children on the grid, and is not telling so they can be removed, he is in violation of US law and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Serve him with subpoenas, cease and desist orders, defamation of character suits, everything in the legal arsenal possible. Make it unprofitable to continue to lie and slander your company. Do you think Disney would let some minor league politician say things like that about them? Same with any so called "news gathering" organization. Don't cower in your holes like gophers. Attack those who want to profit from fear and lies. Make it unprofitable to continue to do so. Force them back to attacking more amorphous areas..like the devil..you know..things that can't really fight back. Attack attack attack. Make your lawyers work for their retainers.

As far as the birthday celebration goes. An easy way out is to stop referring to the groups you are worried about as child groups, as that is a clear misnomer, since there are no children involved. Call them groups with child-like avatars. First thing we can do to help LL is to stop calling them children. This confuses the great masses...to call them children in one sentence and say no children are allowed in the next. A new euphemism is needed to keep those with extremely low IQ's (like politicians) from getting confused. I throw open the floor for ideas. The euphemism needs to be short..clearly understood..yet clearly not confusable with a real child.
