Another thing i got from that interview is that Porky feels that her/his/it’s opinion of what is griefing and what is not, is, or in her/his/it’s opinion should be, the universal. I noticed that on a few other topics discussed in the cast to.

Some how i think Porky cries far too much when she/he/it’s not the centre of attention ……… i’m not going to the SLCC because i didnt organise it, or as he/she/it says it “it wasn’t legitamately organised” LMAO

too funny

But ok, I’ll take your word for it that you didn’t mean that.

“I guess you just are too much of a boy wonder to get this, Matthias. I realize your attention span is very brief.

It doesn’t matter if it “isn’t illegal” in some abstract sense.

You don’t have private ventures just take over a government function like this.”

First off, the personal attack was unwarranted and unnecessary. Second off, why would you call this a “governmental function”? I know you don’t actually believe that outside of, say, Neualtenburg and a handful of other private sims that SecondLife is actually a democracy.

Coco:

By my saying that Philip can take SecondLife wherever he wants to, it doesn’t mean that we all have to agree with it. It’s the same with SecondCast and Johnny. That’s the point that I was making, the point you failed to get, and the area where you twisted my words. As to your comment “you’re sometimes concise to the point of not bothering to track down important facts or interview people involved, and actually leave out essentials like the who, where, when, how, or why,” I would honestly debate that. At times, it’s not necessary to know exactly what Ulrika was debating (just that she was declared a cyber-terrorist), etc. Honestly, no one really cares outside of the Neualtenburg few. With the interviews, I’m assuming you’re meaning the Hair Fair, which was meant as a review, not as a “complete coverage” situation. Last I checked, reviews don’t necessitate an interview.

I am responding to your words.

Obviously.

You are the one who pointed out that they are private ventures and can do whatever they feel like doing.

You are also the one who now brings up the the fact that it is also legal for them to do whatever they want.

We already know those things. They are not the issue. Those facts are beside the point for the purposes of discussion; they are givens.

And until today, I don’t believe the SLH has ever presented as a counter-argument to a criticism the fact that private companies can do what they want.

I already know you are concise, Matthias, except when writing on fashion shows or hair fairs. In fact, you’re sometimes concise to the point of not bothering to track down important facts or interview people involved, and actually leave out essentials like the who, where, when, how, or why of stories.

This Mr. Lee’s Hong Kong in Snowcrash. It’s awful.

“OK, now that we know that whatever Philip does with town halls and whatever Linden Labs does with Second Life is by definition hunky-dory, and everything Second Cast decides to do is just peachy – because they are PRIVATE VENTURES! – then why does SLH bother to exist?”

Coco, that wasn’t my point at all. What I was saying was that it wasn’t ILLEGAL for them to do it by any means, because it is a private venture. I love your twisting of words. The SLH exists to point out these things, yes, but to do so in a much more concise fashion that what Prokky does (about 1/5 of the space, typically).

“Now, see, if I wanted to, I could go into a five page diatribe here about how SecondCast is a private venture, so they don’t NEED elections, and how Philip can run Linden Lab and the town halls however he wants to – but since it’s as easy as saying just that, I’ll leave it at one sentance, since that’s much more likely to be read than your five page rants.”

Coco says – I can’t believe I read this in the SLH.

OK, now that we know that whatever Philip does with town halls and whatever Linden Labs does with Second Life is by definition hunky-dory, and everything Second Cast decides to do is just peachy – because they are PRIVATE VENTURES! – then why does SLH bother to exist?

Uri, I just KNOW you’ve got to be turning over in your metaphorical grave. I don’t know how you can stand to watch this happen to your baby, unless they paid you good money for it.

coco

oh give it up Porkofy. stop backpatting yourself over your overly long rants…just because you take time to write some long winded bullshit about the price of fish in ravenglass does not mean it is actually of any substance.

Try cutting your output by at least 75% and compressing it into something intelligent that can be read in under 1 minute and you might begin to impress. You constantly just go on and on about the same things…your ego must know no bounds.

But that’s not the analogy, as I’ve pointed out. If Wolf Blitzer was a top women’s clothing designer and built Rockfeller Center, etc. well, we might have ourselves an analogy…and then you could see the problem, eh?
