No. Philip has stated on more than one occasion he is building a COUNTRY.

This implies that LL is the government.

Your view is similar to the right wing doctrine. Either you are with us or against us.

They, similar to you suggest leaving the country if one was to criticize and point out things that are wrong.

This is not how things work.

Now I know you're trolling. No-one with any sense would take that literally.

Why not? A nation is simply an aggregation of individuals that share an identity, not necessarily just a geographic boundary.

I take Philip quite literally, and feel that SL could, in fact, be on the road to nationdom.

And this is why the forums are closing. This starts out being an informational thread trying to discuss something that many feel is an injustice, and before long it degenerates into a pointless argument, just like so many other threads. Wonder if anything else constructive about the actual topic will be said before the thread is locked?

This says a lot about how you deal with adversity. I guess you advocate this behaviour too?

Ya know what? When you have been around for over 2 years and see the stupid shit after stupid shit that LL does, maybe you'll have a slightly different view.

Pointless argument? So you don't feel that discussing those who see no value in peoples complaints on this and other matters has any relevance? I think it's not only a worthy arugment, but an indirectly relevant one.

Wow, you are trully one of the great minds of our era! You managed to take a humourous remark (as evidenced by the ) and draw an all encompassing conclusion. Then you used that conclusion to snipe another person you do not know, for no particularly useful reason that I can find. Hats off to you, but pick another battle, I'm done.

Now, that I've indulged myself . 1) it says absolutely nothing with how I deal with adversity. I can, if I try not to think to hard, see where you might get that idea, but you would be wrong. 2) Advocate, no. Understand, perfectly. 3) I don't generalize, I know Kin, which is why I would understand any frustration she might experience.

What I find annoying is how it quickly got into an argument about whether SL is a democracy and whether people should keep whining about it either way. That may be an exciting discussion, but I started reading this thread because I wanted to see if there was anything new in the way of opinion and/or fact regarding Kin's case. But, never mind, I'll just shut up and let you get back to the arguing.

OK I will reword it for you Reitsuki: If LL would consider themselves a government, under what type would they consider it to be, and what does this mean to all it's citizens?

I suspect, however, they consider themselves a company

*translation* You should shut up you haven't been here as long as the rest of us, your opinion isn't valuable newbie. Don't you know who we are? There has been LOTS of BAAAAAD BAAAAD stuff, we know all about "IT".

Vague and dismissive..very attractive.

a) a larger set of data points is not any better than a limited set.
b) experience doesn't teach you anything.
c) past behavior is in no way any indication of probably future behavior.
d) condescention is always best combatted with sarcasm.
e) nobodies paying attention to me so I'll pick fights.

Right now, there have been endless unjust actions I've seen in my short time here, so I'm inclined to believe this case. I'd spoken with Kin briefly in-world, I had most of her hairstyles. I'm notorious for holding back to see the bigger picture. i don't blame LL for bugs, for development problems, but as much as I try, I can't imagine how this could have been instigated by Kin herself. I understand that for security's sake, some measures are in place that may unintentionally block innocent parties. However, shouldn't their be an appeals system in place that works? People know where to send the contestations, the problem is they never hear back. Nothing is done. IP and CC banning is great, but you have to allow for appeals and exceptions or else we're going to lose a lot more talented people.

And in my opinion even if she DID deserve it, she should have been paid out. She earned her money, and you can't preach about how you've made a real economy and real currency, then take someone's earnings when it suits you. Did she cause hundreds of dollars of in-world damage to warrant her money being claimed by LL? That's the sort of thing that we would have heard at least a whisper of by now.
