You can pretty much assume how all of her blog posts form within a few categories;
- I got griefed in my video game the other day; the perpetrators were obviously pro-leninists /b/tards. Because they were /b/tards Woodbury University should be shut down and moot should be in jail. Linden Labs should be ashamed of themselves for allowing them to grief me.
- Linden Labs unveiled a new tool/feature/policy that clearly shows they are following Soviet Russian history. We're just one more step away from Soviet Second Life.
- A (insert news item) happened. I disagree because I am religious and anti-soviet. If you disagree with me you are a liberal soviet fascist griefer.
- Here is a picture of where I'm at in SL along with a landmark, now don't grief me.
Of course she gets comments about them by reasonable people but they are deleted shortly afterwards. Even though she hates Soviet-Style censorship of free speech, she only endorses it when you disagree with her for too long. After so many replies you are griefing her and she bans you from her blog. She allows for no anonymous posting whatsoever and you must provide her with a valid blogger name or SL name that isn't on her secret police eradication list.
Now let's say you are able to get a post on there with out her deleting it. Here is how you can expect the conversation to go even if you agree with her on all points except for a small issue;
- You:I disagree with X
- Prok: Are you stupid? X is clearly true. Perhaps you should get your head out of your ass before everything goes to hell because of fascists like yourself!
- You: No need to get insulting, I just don't think you are right on X because of reasons A,B, and C
- I think I have had enough of your defence of X which is Stalinist in nature. Go back to your commie book clubs and get off my blog, BANNED!
Thought stopping logical fallacies are Prokofy's weapon of choice. Instead of arguing a point, she relies on these to attack anyone who disagrees. She usually favors ad-hominem attacks off all sorts, guilt by association, and a story of Godwin's Law that applies to Soviet leaders instead of Hitler. However this is what she has to say about logical fallacies:
One thing that geeks do when they are losing an argument and can't get out of the code cave (worse than Plato's cave) is to begin spouting about logical fallacies." These are old Latin boy school's rhetorical gimmicks that have to do with how you win points on the debating team. Geeks love them because they define speech and discourse horribly rigidly, and enabling what they imagine to be "clear thinking" that is "scientific".No Prokofy, "geeks" as you call them (though us in the real world refer to them as rational intelligent people) call those out when they see them because they are a thought stopping mechanism and are only to there replace what would be an argument with trash that is illogical. Though it is common for a lot of people to misattribute logical fallacies to others. If you make a non-argument and someone calls you out on it, because you are not thinking clearly and wish to correct it.
Take for example your repeated use of ad-hom attacks and use them in a familiar context and see how though attacks are true, the argument isn't:
- Hitler: The sky is blue.
- Prokofy: Bullshit, Hitler! I'm so sick of your anti-semitic and collectivist propaganda, you are clearly wrong about the subject.
Hitler was a collectivist and an anti-semite and an overall bad person; however the sky is most indeed blue. The fact you called him those names didn't prove your argument against the sky being blue, it only made the point that he was an asshole.
She is an ex-UN Russian translator who went batshit insane and left after translating too much soviet propaghanda so she can go home and make a living translating soviet propaghanda on her own. When she wasn't making enough to support her The Sims habit, she got into Second Life to make some extra cash. THe buisness model was a clear disaster she continues to this day that leaves the door wide open to greifing, and most ironicly, is collectivist in nature.
You can rent anyone of her rental properties. Just pay the box, join the open group. That simple. Problem is anyone can join the group and abuse most of the decorations in the house which are group owned, rez replicating and sim crashing stuff, and much more. The possiblilities are endless. Rather than building a better mousetrap, she attacks anyone who exploits or points out the flaws in it, much of the same way Stalin did with his Soviet mousetrap.
Whatever, she's an idiot. I'm sure she will see this and prove everything I say about her in a single comment below. Unlike her, I only comments I delete are spam and direct personal threats of violence. Not only do I believe in freedom of speech, I practice it.
