I bet you really did a lot of awesome damage, considering most folks here haven't logged on in years. But, hey, if I ever stop not logging on, I will maybe definitely try to remember not renting from ... *checks back in thread* Twizzlers Rentals.

Hello, long time no see.


So i read this all, and in my not so humble opinion, everyone lost. Nobody acted well.

Kimba was rude. Shouldn't have been. I wouldn't say abusive, but rude, definitely.

But, if you are in the position of running a service business, handling a moron or two comes with the occupation and if it makes your blood boil, then maybe find a different way to spend your days?

Kicking someone out within a day without a refund, because they didn't fully understand and follow your covenant, is vindictive and not a good business practice.
It's not like they crashed the sim or rezzed giant penises everywhere. Misunderstandings about covenants happen, words can be interpreted differently, people don't speak english as their native language, etc etc.
It would have been plenty sufficient to tell them they were no longer welcome to rent there, give them a moment to pick up any no-copy items and give a partial refund, with a deduction for the hassle and time spent.


I don't agree with Kimbas actions, but would i rent from a landlord that bans, returns all items in a lump, and doesn't refund, just because someone said one rude thing?
Hell no.

But they entertained us well, didn't they...

Following the transaction patterns explained in Berne's Games People Play and Harris' I''m OK you're OK everyone in here is just trying to pull off a stunt to show of some kind of superiority,,.. both parties did, everyone meta-commenting on the thread's value/outcome did and even me meta-commenting on everything before by pulling out the TAA playing card ...
... it always boils down to a classical "mine is better than yours" game...

Based on the depth of Kimba's self-absorption and entitlement on display in this thread, I think it is fair to doubt that the incident being portrayed was the first and only disruptive incident. "When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

Think of it from the perspective of the fellow tenants on the sim who complained to the estate manager about the former name.
If they logged in the next day and found their neighbour had renamed their parcel 'Fuck Off & Die', a presumed response to their complaint, how would that look?

Exactly. This really was more about the easiest way to nip a budding tenant-dispute in the bud, to chop-off the one renting the smaller parcel.

Wow, that's real insightful. Based on the ugliness of your avatar displayed on this thread, I think it is fair to doubt that you know your donkey from a hole in the ground. My partner and I had rented a full-sim from WRE for over a year without incident, and this is why I had rented from them this time. I had been there for 6-weeks without incident when this happened, and the land had been named this way since day-one.

The unstated irony of this situation, is that I had liked them. I had sent Zel a thank-you note for giving me some grace-time when I forgot to pay the rent one week, and I had taken a potential-customer to their rental-sim to look for a parcel, when he had come around the land asking questions.

What struck me, after shopping for a new parcel to rent, was that no other landlord had policies about eviction without refund, or abusing staff-members. This indicates to me that WRE needs such policies because this occurs frequently between them and their customers, because WRE has such a crappy customer-service attitude, and WRE makes up new rules as they go along. And I will point out again, that the covenant itself does not address how one names one's land, nor that multi-purpose items like a dance-pole may be placed on the land.

THIS IS AN ADULT RESIDENTIAL REGION ONLY

This Region is privately owned by W Real Estate (WRE). Make sure to read this covenant before purchasing. Checking the box that you agree to this covenant means you are accepting responsibility to follow and understand the rules of this region.

*Tier is non refundable in Lindens but can be used as credit to move to other land owned by WRE (Both lands must be owned by WRE and not from a reseller or another company. Both rental boxes must have the same primary renter listed, sub tenants listed do not count).

Oh, it's not a growing theory. It's practically a core law of the internet at this point.
Turns out you don't need the "anonymity", Facebook has demonstrated that people are willing to be complete fuckwads under their real names.

Edit: she said people use an SL dance-pole for exercise with a straight face? WAT?

Please pick up the clue phone. You will be better for it, eventually. Many of us have been through the same thing, and honestly we all feel embarrassed by what we've done but have learned from it and grown. You will too in time, hopefully.
