I was a child avatar for 14 years. Since I have a business in SL, after this most recent blow up, I felt I needed to age Zaida up to protect my brand. Though it does also open the possibility of putting some adult poses in some of my furniture which I've never done before because of being a child avi.

In 14 years as a child, I was only ever sleezed on twice. Both times I AR'd the person, and they were gone within a matter of minutes. As an adult it happens all the fucking time. Almost anytime I'm outside of the steamlands - my home area - someone hits on me and not in a polite hey let's grab a cup of coffee and get to know each other way. I knew this would be an issue - which was one of the reasons I became a child avi - as a means of saying, "No thank you." Plus, back when I became a child avi most of my closest friends were child avis. Now, most of my friends are adults. So, it seemed a good time to grow up.

I've only ever known of two child avis who got bounced from SL for "ageplay." One was a furniture maker who put adult poses in his furniture - as far as I know he never like participated in acutal age play. His furniture seemed to be the issue. Hence why I never put adult poses in my furniture. The other - as far as I know never actually had sex in child form - but would say wildly innappropriate things - and was warned by others many times that she was playing with fire. This person has tried to get back into SL - even bought a whole new computer - and she can't.

I've known Loki Eliot - one of the people named in the Medium hit piece - for 16 years. What they wrote about him was 100% unadulterated bullshit. So, I feel comfortable dismissing everything else they wrote as bullshit as well.

When did the Lab stop conducting community roundtables? Those were always productive. Maybe when Robin left.
