Chucks Party has a good point .. in my neighborhood when an
admitted/convicted pedophile moves into the said neighborhood the people of
that neighborhood are warned publicly that such a move has taken place .. we
of the neighborhood have then been warned .. should not the community of
active worlds be any different. They did the act .. they are supposely an
adult who is responsible for their actions .. they should pay the price of
it being public. You don't like the reaction of the people don't do the
action.
