BBB sez… “BBB assigns grades from A to F with pluses and minuses. A+ is the highest grade and F is the lowest. The grade represents BBB’s degree of confidence that the business is operating in a trustworthy manner and will make a good faith effort to resolve any customer concerns.”

So here’s the windup…

Linden Lab – “F”
. Number of complaints filed against business.
. Failure to respond to complaints filed against business.
. Length of time business has taken to resolve complaint(s).

Dell Inc – “C+”
. Government action(s) against business.

Apple – “B”
. More than one complaint is unresolved meaning the company failed to properly address the complaint allegations or their response was inadequate.

Microsoft – “A+”
Amazon – “A+”

Playboy – “No Rating”
Fox News – “No Rating”
AT&T – “No Rating”
Google – “No Rating”

So clearly… um… clearly… Playboy, Fox News, AT&T, and Google are in worse trubble than Linden Lab! Next Up: Is there an International BBB?

If Linden Lab could next bring back gambling, they’d be well positioned to stay alive and thrive with ‘The Big Two’ in place (Sex and Gambling).

We tend to have SOME intelligence, or else are too… regressed, to even work a computer. The people you are talking about are plain and simple morons – selfish, ignorance and proud of it.

Oh, and Second Life has been dying for years. Just enjoy it while you can. Eventually, hopefully, someone will come up with something better. But, you know, humans – lazy bastards, the lot of us.

You have a keen eye for perversions of this sort, and with us you could endeavour to rid our world of unclean imagery and practices.

I would like to invite you to submit your credentials to the ladies on the Organizing Committee of the League of Virtual Decency™ that will soon hold its first meeting in Second Life.

Now that a death-blow is being dealt to these unsavory people, we can get down to the serious business of using our wonderful computing machines to socialize and be creative.

In fact, I am planning to convene a Doily Convention as soon as the ruffians and perverts have left the mainland. I shall also open a tea-room in a suitable spot overlooking the sea, so that I may invest in the proper use of this technology.

In fact, if Miss Mistral permits, I have other suggestions for how Second Life should be rid of its filth and perversion in order to uphold tried-and-true values that support family, God, country, and the betterment of the lower classes.

Please watch this space.

There will be huge problems with this move. They had it correct the first time. Separate the main and teen grids. And now they get a wild hair and mess that up. This will also be bad for Linden Lab as it would then be more likely to have increased negative publicity in the media over a person believing they are talking to an adult, only to end up finding they are a minor. Or worse yet, the few that would be looking for a discussion with a minor within SL. This is just a plain bad decision if indeed Linden wants to merge the grids. It won’t pan out well long term. I can see that plain as day. Let’s hope that Linden leaves both the Teen and the Adult grids as is where the rules expressly stipulate that only adults can login to the Main grid, and that no adult may login to the Teen grid. This is absolutely the way it should be.
