Sunday Evening Service
by Ronon Carver of Burning Man Burn2
Rev. Ronon Carver
OPENING WORDS
Living your MBism means…
If a grieving avatar needs some punishment, you brew the pot of hell and stir them down until they listen.
Living your MBism means…
If SaveMe Oh and her minions, acolytes and alts steal toys from others, you take the time to slowly torture them to make them understand why they must learn to respect others.
Living your MBism means…
If your local soup kitchen needs warm bodies to serve food to the homeless on Tuesdays at noon, you catch SaveMe Oh and her minions, acolytes and alts, remove them from their offensive and sexual harassing aprons, and cook them into a healthy soup.
Living your MBism means…
If one of SaveMe Oh’s followers (or someone else who is licking her heals) is weeping from a broken heart, you reach out for your sword, and slice the heart in two parts including the person.
Living your MBism means…
If SaveMe Oh’s elderly minions and acolytes are living in a nursing home, you bring a bomb and blow them away as they are already living in borrowed time.
Living your MBism means…
If a co-worker needs your principled defense, you inform your gunclub and shoot to stand up for what is right.
Living your MBism means…
If your nephew lives alone, slowly dying of AIDS, you catch some of his blood and try to contaminate SaveMe Oh and her minions, acolytes and alts with it. That will teach them.
Living your MBism means…
If a relief agency needs funds for the victims of some natural calamity, you steal the Linden of SaveMe Oh and her minions, acolytes and alts, write your check, and write it for a little more than they can afford.
Living your MBism means…
If your community needs a recycling center, you volunteer to recycle SaveMe Oh and her minions, acolytes and alts ASAP.
Living your MBism means…
If some stranger (perhaps someone of minority status like Solo Mornington) is being harassed or demeaned in a joke or in person, you teach him the tricks of Mass Bann out of your sense of justice and refuse to be an accomplice in the abuse of poor LEA committee members.

Vaneeesa got it right two years ago when she had her plot taken away from her:
“I know that Burning Man and Burn2 have a degree of utopian thinking at their core, but I cannot believe how much you seem to want artists to bleed for the privilege of living in your utopia. I do not believe it can be a utopia if you are unconditional master and I am unconditional slave.”
The Pink Tutu: May I ask something?
Ladyslipper Constantine: hi Tutu. sure.
The Pink Tutu: There should be a famous artwork here, but I can’t find it?
Ladyslipper Constantine: There are a lot of artworks all over the 6 sims. Have you been to all of them?
The Pink Tutu: No, but the blogs are full about this one, and I don’t see it?
Ladyslipper Constantine: you mean this one we’re standing on?
The Pink Tutu: A glass cube with a black statue in it
The Pink Tutu: and line saying DONT FEED
Ladyslipper Constantine: ahh, sca’s. That was returned
The Pink Tutu: Why???
The Pink Tutu: It wasbecoming famous?
Ladyslipper Constantine: it was just a cube with a small sculpture of a totally black riot police is all
The Pink Tutu: Yes, but with a very deep meaning
The Pink Tutu: It was the best work here on BURN, a lot of artcritics wrote about it
Ladyslipper Constantine: yes, I’ve read the blogs too
The Pink Tutu: also because it worked as a magnet for events, but now I dont see a thing?
Ladyslipper Constantine: It was probably returned by accident thinking it belonged to one of the folks who’ve been banned
The Pink Tutu: Folks being banned? Why?
The Pink Tutu: Finally happens something on BURN and people get banned?
Ladyslipper Constantine: for wearing huge protest signs in violation of the ToS
The Pink Tutu: THats a pity
Ladyslipper Constantine: we don’t ban here unless they violate the Tos
The Pink Tutu: WHat they protest?
The Pink Tutu: Why?
Ladyslipper Constantine: SaveMe Oh being banned is what they are protesting
The Pink Tutu: That one is banned everywhere
Ladyslipper Constantine: I have to go now. sorry the art wasn’t here
The Pink Tutu: Thank god for rangers like you!
The Pink Tutu: hi, great expo
Barbs Kurka: anytime between 3am and 8 am is fine
Ro Carver: brb. laundry
Barbs Kurka: going to check guru
Gemma Allen: hi Pink
The Pink Tutu: why cant we feed this statue?
Ro Carver: back
The Pink Tutu: I would like to feed him
The Pink Tutu whispers: they dont sell birdseed here?
Gemma Allen GIGGLES!!
Gemma Allen: …LOL…
Gemma Allen: wouldd be fun
The Pink Tutu: Yes, like this its a little sad
The Pink Tutu: You made it?
Gemma Allen: nono
Gemma Allen: nto ours at all
Gemma Allen: left by someone
Ro Carver: it’s someone’s art piece
The Pink Tutu: I dont like it a lot, doesnt fit with the other great works here
Gemma Allen: i agree
The Pink Tutu: they should remove it, and add something cheerfull
Ro Carver: that would be nice
Ro Carver: it is rather dull and dreary
Ro Carver: but…
Ro Carver shrugs
Ro Carver: one person’s art….
The Pink Tutu: THey should have a committee with some taste
The Pink Tutu: who chooses good works
Ro Carver: a lot of the art that’s here is on parcels people bought
Ro Carver: we don’t choose it
Ro Carver: it’s hard to judge art, anyway
The Pink Tutu: you should, this is horrible
Gemma Allen: only the artists are invited and they bring their works
Gemma Allen: this one is not invited but purchased the plot
Gemma Allen: so
Gemma Allen:
Ro Carver: I’m not sure what the meaning is for this piece
Gemma Allen: Yes-ah!
Gemma Allen: me too
The Pink Tutu: They buy places to add something so ugly?????
Gemma Allen: when i frist saw it a few weeks ago i thought it was temporary to hold the plot
Gemma Allen: ah well
Ro Carver: I don’t think it’s that bad
Ro Carver: it would be helpful if the figure weren’t all black so we could see details and features
Ro Carver: I’m not sure what the glass blocks around it are for
Olz Amat: actually they are criticsizing Sca’s work
Olz Amat: it seems
Ro Carver: all art is criticized
The Pink Tutu: Work??? This is not a work
Ro Carver: isn’t that what it’s for?
Olz Amat: like many of pieces around, as i can see
Ro Carver: to look at and determine the meaning?
The Pink Tutu: This is occupying precious space
Ro Carver: it’s part of the event
Olz Amat: this place is full of kitsch
Ro Carver: some people may think this is a great piece, and others may not agree
Olz Amat: and a desert
Ro Carver shrugs
Ro Carver: it’s dark, and that could be part of the meaning
Gemma Allen: have you visited teh temple?
Gemma Allen: or the guru stage?
Gemma Allen: dont miss the top of the stage is like another world
Gemma Allen: like a space ship i love it
The Pink Tutu: I dont like dark, I prefer a nice disco or a quiz
Olz Amat: i was hanging around with my real avie and got ejected without knowing why
The Pink Tutu: Maybe you deserve it
Olz Amat: sorry????
Olz Amat: deserve????
The Pink Tutu: there are a lot of people trying to disturb this event
Olz Amat: what is to be disturbed
The Pink Tutu: and a lot of volunteers work hard to make this happen
Olz Amat: its as quiet as a grave here
Olz Amat: not a reason to eject people who just hang around
Ro Carver: if you had an av that was banned, you could ask why
The Pink Tutu: of which alot are severe hadicapt in real life
The Pink Tutu: and have nothing else to do
The Pink Tutu: they should be respected for their work
Olz Amat: are you talking about me?
The Pink Tutu: No, the people who organise this
Olz Amat: they have handicaps?
The Pink Tutu: who are bullied by your kind
Olz Amat: my kind, what do you know about my kind?
The Pink Tutu: Most of the rangers have severe health issues
The Pink Tutu: and this is their last thing they can do, so they deserve some respect
Olz Amat: sorry for them, but thats not a reason either
Ro Carver laughs
Ro Carver: you two are funny
Olz Amat: i did not know this event was for handicaped
The Pink Tutu: Wouldnt you like to have something when your brain was not workong well anymore?
Olz Amat: first time i hear it
Olz Amat: i am always very glad when people can do things when they have a problem
The Pink Tutu: now whats your problem
Ro Carver: it’s always good when people who have problems can do things
The Pink Tutu: ?

NEEKS KARU: ummm… tho.. your not quite.. got the right bits for me
The Pink Tutu: You only want it longer as 25 meters?
NEEKS KARU: actually.. it’s not the size.. it is what you do with it….
SaveMe Oh is basically too much a coward to be directly involved and work on a real change to the problems she tries to address. Much easier to troll a bunch of people into pretending they know what’s best for everyone.
SaveMe Oh’s solution to injustice and fascism: Wear a big prim.
You step down from LEA, I take your place. And we send you away in a big prim. How does that sound as a change?
If you want to be involved in Burn2, I’m sure you could be. You could even be the ranger that doesn’t ban people. Then you could help them understand your point of view with what we like to call ‘sweat equity.’
But instead you bring the chat logs, because you’re a coward.
If you make them unban me after 2 years I will be a re-a-ranger in BURN, If you unban me in LEA I will let it flourish as it always does when I am not banned there. Put me somewhere and the place get’s alive! Didn’t I even get you more or less alive? Pity it turned out that your alive version is a dictator! But when you step aside LEA 5 will be a melting pot of ideas, events, interactions and fun again!
The Pink tutu: hey NEeks, I love your walkie talkie
NEEKS KARU:hi Pink… hows you?
NEEKS KARU:me too.. it’s neat huh?
The Pink tutu: when you going out for a diner with me?
ROSE: walkie talkies?
Jazzmin Solar: Rose controls everyone’s alts
The Pink tutu: NEEKS has such a sexy walkie talkie
NEEKS KARU:well… sadly… I had to decline again Pink
NEEKS KARU:and sadly.. gonna have to ask you get off the art work .. and downsize your signage
The Pink tutu: Neeks, can you unban some friends for us, they would love to come too?
ROSE: neeks,?? are you serious?
NEEKS KARU:Rose.. you know the deal.. no debates.. blog away
ROSE: uh, NO I do not know the deal
ROSE: why no debates?
ROSE: is this not a free world
Milos: we can debate each other Rose
Milos: just not with Rangers … it’s part of the Ranger Code of Honor
The Pink tutu: Neeks, you are live on television now, is that ok?
You were banned for repeatedly rudeness, not because you are “too creative” perhaps you should just stop cussing at others.
