I found out where the bullies were and stayed away from them. I joined a couple of groups, SL gamers with common interests, and have found a place in the game where I belong. I haven't been bullied since then.<br>I log in, play and have fun for a while, and log out when I am done, quite simple.<br>I like the fact that Linden Labs has not created a real police force. It gives gamers an opportunity to explore other cultures and interact peacefully with others that they might not get to know in a regulated society.<br>Islands for perverts are well marked and easily avoided. Just as the discos, casinos, malls, and other areas are well marked.<br>As a woman, I am much more harrassed by "pervs" in my real life work place, shopping areas, and parks. Oh, and just recently while driving down a real life street.<br>Second Life harrassment has nothing on what women regularly experience in our everyday real lives.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sharon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2007 2:23PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
