Sims..
"torture" the people I'm irritated with...For example, put them in a house
with no door and no bathroom...LOL!!!! Very therapeutic! Oh you wicked girl, you! I LOVE it! I have a friend who built a house with no windows, no doors, but a chimney - with a fire burning in the fireplace. Managed to get several hundred Simpeople in for a houseparty and then watched em all suicide as they tried to escape out the fireplace..... and yes she is a SKEMER Jenn L.

Hey, I have the neighbors from he** and by doing this I can vent in my own
way and no one is harmed in the least! I have a friend who put her ex-hubby and new wife in a trailer and tortured them to no end. It harmed no one and it got out some of her bad feelings.

That's my big laugh for the day ! I believe you people are talking
about a software programme ? Yes, Sheena.. it is a game.. and while I've not yet tried to torture any of my players, I can see how some of the creative ways mentioned could very well BE great stress relievers. It beats taking a gun into the nearest clock tower, don't ya think? Tegan Actually I ran across an article not to long ago about how some people used Sims games and the album feature to work though some of issues that grow out of being abused. I thought of it last night, but tonight I actually had the 2% of ambition needed to go find it, and here's a link to it: http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,59461,00.html It's interesting reading, and apparently from what I've gathered from reading the posts, people use it even on a more unsophisticated level to deal with some of the frustrations of everyday life. Like Tegan said, it's better than taking a shotgun to the nearest clock tower, or to work, or to the post office, or to school.... Rachel

I agree with you Sheena, up to a point. It is one thing to
inadvertently give someone offence, without realizing that you are doing anything wrong. It is an entirely different if someone is clearly offended by a particular thread, makes it clear that they are offended, and people still persist is pursuing the matter. That to me is just plain rude and insensitive, however reasonable, important, just, etc. people might think that the subject of the thread is. ) writes: Yes, I do know Mirjam. However, it is not reasonable to expect that people will not use words in common usage on that account. People can for instance, make a joke about death. This would be hurtful to read if someone close to you had died very recently. However, most people realize that no hurt was intended and put it out of their minds. If one stops to think about it, there would almost nothing one could say without giving someone, somewhere some pain or offence. Then where would we be ? Especially on rctn ???

hurtful to read if someone close to you had died very recently. However, most people realize that no hurt was intended and put it out of their minds. I know that people who deal with death and illness regularly make jokes about it that most others would find highly offensive. It gives them a way to deal with what they see every day. To take offense to people saying they are using a computer game, full of computer generated pixel "people", as a way to get rid of built up anger is just extreme. I think I'd rather live in a world where people can get out frustrations in an entirely harmless manner than live with those people if they didn't have that outlet. That said...I think it's time for a major disaster in SimCity....

Jim, So, one person who is offended has the right to censor the rest of the group if they wish to discuss something that one person finds offensive? I thought Canada also believed in free speech....perhaps I'm wrong?

If someone is offended by a thread, they have the ability to walk away, just as people do at a cocktail party. If the conversation bothers you, go elsewhere. It's not like this is a sitdown dinner where one is forced to listen to the others present.

Free speech does not entitle one the shout "FIRE" when there is no fire, amongst a crowd of people, where the resulting panic causes some of the people to get killed in the crush. There are limits to freedom of speech. I regard my time talking to people on rctn in the same way as I talk to guests in my home. If one such guest was extremely sensitive to a particular subject, I am not going to exercise my "freedom of speech", *espeially* in my own home, just because I have the right to do so. I will not subject any guest in my house to be abused, and if anyone else tries it, I will be very rude to them. I have *exactly* the same attitude to postings on rctn. If I see people, like Sheena and Pat Porter, being rude to people like Trish Brown, I will not be silent. And if you, Caryn, dont like it - tough. Put me on your kill file. Why is it that you have one set of rules for yourself but a different one for everybody else? It's ok for you to be rude to people and if we don't like it we should killfile you, but you don't killfile the people whom you consider to be rude and instead go on and on ad naseum about something that happened months ago. It's over. Trish is an adult and she made her choice. You might try getting over it.
