I never defended Linden Labs. Therefore, your entire reply was a nonsensical, knee-jerk emotional defense that had nothing to do with the arguments I made.

@Kinoko send it to pixeleen.mistral [at] gmail.com maybe she can make sense of it? and pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Or I suppose you could use an anonymous twitter account to send it @pixeleenmistral and maybe we can be let in on the joke?

“I’d respond further but seriously, you’re a loon.”

Dont just stop blocking PG Events, but Congrats to LL Dealing with a Copybotter and banning almost all their accounts in less than 5 hours (;.

@Persephone: Your opinion is noted. However, tell me… are you actually presenting that businesses / corporations do not victimize people, and that any such impression of such is nothing more than drama without basis in reality? Honestly?

IF Linden Lab conducted their company ethically and legally, if they kept their word and honored their contracts and if they spent their time working on product performance for the last seven years, if they worked to deliver what their customers are paying for (and their customers are paying a LOT), then yes, it would simply be a matter as you described– a company conducting business as they see fit and people being dissatisfied with that company.

But that’s not what has gone on here, has it? Linden Lab has repeatedly breeched promises, changed their TOS and forced /coerced such on their customers, have stolen customer properties (they have been sued, successfully, and suits are still pending), destroyed customer investments through totally self-serving policy changes, used bait-and-switch price hikes (and those things are just the tip of the iceberg), and basically run their business in a narcissistic and unethical manner that has cost their customers millions of dollars in lost investments and untold man-hours.

So are you really presenting that this is just “business as usual”?

Wow, people on this board are more naive and gullible than I thought. Linden Lab has a seven-year history of pure customer abuse, and you think my claims in these regards are “hard to take seriously”?

What would it take for them to royally tick you off anyway– directly raiding your bank account or stealing your car? Just how much does a company have to do before people take off the rose colored glasses and start standing up for their ethical and legal rights… at least in word if not by deed?

What exactly do you people think you are accomplishing here? Senban by being a blatant troll (despite typical denial) and trying to derail an otherwise viable thread by drawing attention away from the subject… what a waste of time (probably almost as much a waste as my replying to her. LOL). And you Persephone, by defending the company and presenting them as simply conducting business… are in fact enabling this company in further such activities.

I mean, you want to defend them go ahead. But don’t tell me I’m messed up because you decide to eat whatever garbage they throw at you.

What will it take– Linden Lab destroying Second Life before you folks wake up and see what’s really happening with this company? Get a reality check people. You have the stats the same as I. The last official poll showed Linden Lab with an 88% product disapproval rate. What does it take to wake you up to the reality of a business being mismanaged… declining… with a very possible eventuality of company failure. Historically folks, if you know anything about the trends of mis-managed dot.com companies, that is the direction this train is going.

No Persephone, I’m not misrepresenting, exagerrating, or incorrectly portraying anything. I’m laying it on the line. I appreciate you don’t agree and I respect that position– but at least respect mine in return. Over the past six years my published predictions regarding Linden Lab and Second Life have been pretty close to 100% accurate. So I don’t really think I’m over-reacting or presenting these issues in a skewed or unrealistic manner. You may not agree, but that’s what makes the world turn. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

And YES Persephone… I have at times discussed here the difference between right and wrong in their management of SL… not just doing normal business. You all still know what the meaning of right vs wrong is, yes? Or is everyone here so jaded that concept no longer has any meaning? Or do folks here buy the growing philosophy that profit makes right, no matter how it’s gained? Perhaps folks have the Linden Lab mentality that there is no need to worry about consequences for actions. Hey after all, Bill Gates pulled it off, didn’t he? Doesn’t matter how many people get hurt in the process… so long as he made MONEY, right?

Now on that I think I will really, really try to find that “cease notifications” button… because when people start discussing Auschwitz and the Polish Resistance in a thread about Linden Lab… it gets to be pretty obvious someone somewhere is fairly unbalanced… and I’m pretty sure it’s not all me. ; )

@Senban: I’d respond further but seriously, you’re a loon.

Now- more pressing matters, Mrs. Hoonoo would like an audience with an elf named Figwit.
Not just any Figwit, mind you, THE Figwit.
Can you make this happen?

I can pay a LOT.
