Prok and Aimee, why don’t you guys just get a room.

… and on the subject of who might be Linden kin, I guess now is the time for me to come clean.

You are my son, Philip. Come join me on the dark side, experience the power of the Herald, and we can rule the Metaverse!

aimee:
i have been the subject of some rather more vicious accusatory lies than this stuff your trying to chase. really, just kinda go on and let them go on and how u lead ur life tells more about you than any of this stuff. accusations cant define you.
oh yeah, im not going to mention the subject but we talked once before when you did this sort of thing, remember?
(there, now do i get my contract with your brother or not?? isnt this finally enuff?)

The source wasn’t me, and I am saying so here. You can take me on my word for it.

If you’d like to answer Prok’s questions, about being related to a Linden, or under contract to the Lindens, I will take you on your word for it.

My word is good, and I have no reason to believe yours isn’t also.

I heard eight highly reliable, well-placed sources that say one of your sources is Coco, and the other two are fabricated.

What do you say to these charges? Will you reveal these sources once and for all so we can put these rumors to bed?

When more than three separate sources tell me a rumour independently, I think I have enough info to ask questions, merely as a chronicler of SL. As for Thoreau, “any fool can make a rule and any fool can mind it”.

Bottom line:

No matter how you dress the political situation up, the folks that own the server make the rules. Even a liberal and democratically managed environment is subject to the ‘pulling the plug’ veto. Democracy is a farce until you truly own and control the servers, rather than renting and borrowing them.

Prok, the way you interpret “year” so literally shows your lack of background in literature. Back to studying Thoreau with you!

OH, and since when does something YOU say become a rumor that needs to be put to bed? Spouting something from off the top of your head, or chatting with Coco in IM does not count as a rumor. Well not unless you are TRYING to start a rumor.

Aimee, tsk tsk tsk, given all your persnickety fussiness about accuracy! Ever the seamstress! I haven’t had any year-long campaign because I’ve barely been *in* SL for a year. I first criticized you on the forums in April or May. So there’s been no “year”.

I haven’t made accusations, I’ve asked questions about silly rumours in an effort to put them to bed. And asked for your frank assessment of the website problem.
