Height Idiot Drama! - Read for giggles and epic facepalms!

While I can't promise this thread will be anywhere near as long as my last drama thread (you know the one, shh, don't say his name!), hopefully it will prove to be entertaining!

I like to write a detailed background, but it seems it's completely off point, sorry! Since unnecessary emphasis is being placed on trivial things, I've shortened this bit. Here's exactly what happened:
Person says something in group.
I ask out of curiosity, not actually saying I would do anything.
Person sends a friend request, TP and group invite right away anyway so he can see me.

I temporally accepted the friendship, and even said this:
[17:08] Vaelissa Cortes: I prefer reserving friendship for those I know well, but for now at least

and, just to add to that, there was this from one of his random IMs where he sent a random friendship offer a while back as well, to which I responded:

[12:12] Vaelissa Cortes: I tend to reserve that for those I know well and speak with on a regular basis, nothing personal.
[12:13] Other Person: np

Anyway, after accepting the TP...

Right away I saw his eight foot tall beefcake avatar and knew it would never work (apparently he did not read my profile), but kept quiet to be polite. Unfortunately, after arriving, things turned into this right away...

[17:08] Other Person: come over lets rp some
[17:08] Other Person: see where it goes
[17:10] Vaelissa Cortes waves.
[17:10] Vaelissa Cortes: Hello.
[17:10] Other Person: ep in local
[17:10] Other Person: OOC in IM doll
[17:11] Vaelissa Cortes smiles, "of course"
[17:11] Other Person: winks
[17:12] Other Person: ok i give doll whats with the tail and ears?
[17:12] Other Person: your not a mouse?
[17:13] Vaelissa Cortes tilts her head, "a mouse? No, just random bits tossed on."
[17:13] Other Person: ok
[17:13] Vaelissa Cortes though I could ask much the same of you, but I shall refrain for now.
[17:14] Other Person: what ? ive no tail lol
[17:14] Vaelissa Cortes: No, I was referring to being so large, mouse comment and all.
[17:14] Other Person: im 6'6 165lbs
[17:15] Other Person: the same in rl
[17:15] Vaelissa Cortes: 8' here, actually.
[17:15] Other Person: what?
[17:15] Other Person: your 8: tall in rl?
[17:15] Vaelissa Cortes: No, I meant your avatar is 8 feet tall in Second Life.
[17:15] Other Person: noo where did you get that?
[17:16] Vaelissa Cortes: I just measured you.
[17:16] Other Person: with what?
[17:16] Vaelissa Cortes: With my height detector HUD, see local chat. You can also check with another accurate detector or measure with a prim, if you like.
[17:16] Other Person: look at the door i think your HUD is a bit off

Note, the door he was talking about was easily 10 feet tall.

[17:17] Other Person: i did 7 years in Gor. doll
[17:17] Vaelissa Cortes: How do you figure?
[17:17] Other Person: all SL scales say im porportinate to rl
[17:17] Vaelissa Cortes: I don't see how Gor related to height .
[17:17] Vaelissa Cortes: actually, they don't.
[17:17] Other Person: no dumb fuckers aloud sorry lol
[17:18] Vaelissa Cortes: That's quite immature, I suggest checking with a prim.
[17:18] Other Person: fuckin stupid mouse cunt lol

I was immediately ejected, unfriended and muted. All I did was point out his actual height.

Sadly, this person does not seem to be capable of rational thought, or even acting in even a remotely mature manner. What's worse is he thinks he is right and, being muted, I can't point to simple facts. People really do need to get a clue, their avatars are huge and have terrible proportions with tiny arms! Don't knock us people who actually know what we're doing just because you're a complete idiot, thank you.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd think a height thread could occur without posting the log of someone whose RP ad, friend request, TP and group invite you accepted with no intention to follow up on.

This feels more like a mocking thread.

At first I thought this was an arcane rp sentence. Then I realised he meant 'allowed'

Hm.. question though, what were the actual precise ears and tail that you were wearing? Since this is clearly of vital importance to better making informed moral judgements on this most important of issues.

It's probably more a statement about me that I read the log and figured that sounded like average day in SL. I was promised drama dammit!

Maybe I just hang out on the wrong side of the SL tracks than everyone else or something. In my travels I see 8 ft tall avatars on a daily basis, random strangers who call me doll or hit on me at least once a week and conversations like that log all around me.


I might need new places to visit

I can think of many words to describe this incident and your decision to post it to a public forum, but "polite" is definitely not one of them.

I´m sorry but we post threads here to randomly mock people for no valid reason now? Maybe you could start your own blog Vaelissa where you can make fun of whomever you like or think worthy, Cause I can only think of two reasons for this to be shared in public: One you don´t log in often and have little interaction with people and believe this to be newsworthy and funny, Or two You are an extremely rude person, that takes pleasure in insulting people both in private and in public.

I'm sorry, Vaelissa, but you really have to be one of the most judgemental, self-righteous people who post on these forums. I realise how horribly tedious it must be that not everyone has a shape, literacy level, or general personae worthy of your obviously exactingly high standards, but get over yourself, seriously.

Mocking is prefectly allowed, i love it myself, but i do know the difference between mocking something and being a self self-righteous prick tho, and you know what? Most of the times the difference is simply if you are doing it private or public.

You know, I totally get the idea of having proper scale and proportion and such. Personally, I'm rather anal about the size and proportions of my own avatar. However, trying to educate SL-at-large about this stuff... it's a battle that cannot be won. That genie is far too long out of the bottle and no movement to educate the populace will ever succeed in stuffing him back in. Ever ever ever ever ever.

Although he seems like an ass, it also appears that you were the one who really started picking on him about his avatar. I think your standards and expectations when trying to pick up a random stranger for sex are a bit too high.

I actually feel bad for the guy. And I do occasionally puts stupid pick up lines received in my picks to warn other guys "what not to do."

I got something somewhat similar yesterday, from some random guy who gave me the up & down look, while he AO twirled around me. By the time I'd seen the IM, I had already tp'd from the store. After I answered what was a simple question (not rude), he sent the friend request, which I ignored. He then sent the TP and an im'd "come dance" (mind you, he met me in a store & seemed to be looking for Dark Alley). Without even looking at where he was tping me to, I just ignored it and said, "Sorry, I'm busy." And, wonder of wonders, I heard nothing else from him period.

He asks what's up with the ears & tail. I saw nothing rude from him until you started to lecture on measuring height with prims and detectors. Truth is, most people are actually happy with whatever it says on the edit shape thing.

I had to read your profile after reading all of that. You do have a lot of info in your profile to read, and if I were in world, I wouldn't be bothered to read it all. While we all have our ideas of what we find rude, I consider most of your profile to be rude. But, it's your standards. So, do you. Maybe I missed something, but you im'd him after he posted something in group chat about RP. Then expected he should read your profile first before answering? Even though you weren't really interested in his RP, but tp'd to him anyway just for shitz n gigglz?

Meh.. not much drama. But to expect someone with the name "Diablo Lordhunter" to refer to any female with anything less than "Doll" , "Dumb Fucker" and "Stupid Fucking Mouse Cunt" is wishful thinking..
