Maybe my point would be better made by the example of people wanting to use their real life name in Second Life. When we sign into SL by using a made up name, we are certain that there is only one Jessica Holyoke or one Pixeleen Mistral. However, when you get to real life names, then you have issues as to who has the right to use that ‘real life name.’ Is it the first to register it? Is it the first to show that they have ID that says that they are the person that they say that are? What happens if there are two people who sign up at the same time? Does the more famous Stacey Fox get that name?

This might have been a lighter article, but the issue still stands; how would you chose who gets what rights in a name?

i think jessica is a good writer. i like to read her stuff. this one might have been a bit “phoned in”, but so what? no one bats a thousand. at any rate, i used to work for the herald, and i believe they have a policy of cheerfully refunding your money if you are not satisfied.

Really? why suddenly is this site almost wholly all about your opinion? stop writing fillers and write some content that is actually worth 5mins of my time.

You have recently had 5 “articles” and I use that term liberally, published and while they seem to be concise and clear to the point, don’t offer me much in the way of being mentally engaged in it.

I get more engagement from talking to myself and or a brick wall, to which I can at least bounce ideas back and forward and come to some conclusion that requires some deep thought, and while I realise you must in all sense be pandering to the less educated individuals whom may read this site I am sure they can understand more advanced topics than this.

After how ever many years of Second Life I believe most of us are pretty sure we understand the basics, so if you want to teach go be a mentor and not an opinionated lobotomised blogger.

Now to be nice, I’m sure you’re a nice “woman” and again I apply that term liberally but please go and investigate the JLU, we the masses require more shocking butt naked superman facts about this group.

And why he is 99% immune to abuse reports against his own actions?

Other than that what do you think is in my name?

Judge Joker – I give you 2 clues Judge Dread and the villain the Joker a ying & yang of order and chaos.
