Impressive, I didn't think you had it in you
 You could have been a little more hard hitting though.. heh _____________________

So, what do I have to do to be considered worthy enough for an interview???
 Seriously tho, great job Cris, is it hard for you to be able to keep your opinions to yourself when interviewing? Just curious. Also, Anshe...ty for doing this interview, it sure does explain alot and helps some of us know you just a little better. Huggerz, MJ _____________________

Great interview Cris.
I would like to suggest a couple of other folks to try and speak with. Big controversy or issues surround Land, Sex and money anywhere (SL included) So how about the man with the balls, Phil Murdock and the folks with the cash Zeppi and IGE Thanks again Cris, in wolrd and in forum you produce interesting content Imogen |

Thank you for the responses
I am sure my choosing Anshe as the first interview, given our history, was a bit surprising, especially given the tone of the interview. I thought actually she was the perfect first interview because interviewing her without bias was a challenge. At the same time, I did not want it to simply be a puff piece, nor an attack piece, so I tried to find the balance of voicing some criticisms and giving her a chance to respond. I wanted to show Anshe beyond just the land issue, as that is all that is ever focused on. In the end, I am very proud of the result. How I feel about the larger issue of land sales in SL has not changed. I think it is an incredibly important commodity that deserves to be protected from abuse and to be made available affordably to all players, and not just a profit playground for those who can afford it. At tiimes, I have clashed very loudly with Anshe over how I have felt her business was negatively affecting SL. I have to give her credit for always being willing to speak privately and to remain approachable and willing to both talk and listen. It is easy to lose sight in these forums that there is value in speaking one on one to someone, instead of just having dueling posts all the time. _____________________
