People who generally claim that either FIC does not or exist or that FIC is not evil or whatever else that is not being claimed, generally have dellusions of self-importance as they are generally trying to defend a group that they think they're a part of.

Unfortunately, this is not a group anyone should want to be a part of. It's the group that plays politics with the truth. It's the group that is more interested in making friends than open and honest debate.

BTW, I hope no one is feeling that I am specifically pointing them out here. Because if you do, than you might want to re-evaluate where it is or how it is that you get your sense of validation.

Except for Aimee, for thy is the one on the right. The one, and the only truly FIC

But in the good way.

Okay, let's say "hypothetically" there is a group that could be called the FIC. What good does it do to keep pointing them out en masse. Wouldn't it be better to just address specific concerns of individuals. If there is this group that has this hidden agenda, shouldn't we be addressing the specific problems instead of merely saying "it's FIC's fault"? Or am I missing some good use of slinging the name FIC around over and over again?

So now "hypothetically" we have this FIC group and "hypothetically" they are the cause of all or some or most of the woes of SL. What is the solution? Do we find a way to get rid of this "hypothetically" FIC? Do we quarantine them?

Let's move on pass the name calling and either let it go or suggest something that is productive.

Sometimes I think this "hypothetically" FIC is similar to WMD. A smoke screen to keep us from seeing something else. But that's just a theory. I am probably wrong.

Yes, it's true, I have a blog now!

The Feted (or Fetid) Inner Core, bravely exposed by Prokofy's words, does indeed exist. They are alive and well within the luxurious and hidden VIP lounges of SL. And they are watching..waiting..like bloated spiders in their webs. Watch out lest you become the entangled fly!

David, it's just as well you've exposed us. We've decided we're all-powerful, and no longer need to fear discovery. We even plan to post our board of directors minutes from the meeting we held back on April 1st.

Yes, Aimee. Tenderness, empathy, and caring like FIC offers is so hard to come by.

I need to marry into the FIC, or bribe the right people. I don't want power, or to attend meetings, but I soooo want a number!!
