Should Linden Lab take Anshe's money and give it to the poor?

Communists? Never.

Just people looking to reclaim the money that was extorted from them in the first place.

What the hell is the point of this thread?

Get ready to take a massive loss when your telehub land becomes worthless.

Nah I think LL should take anshe's money and give it to me. Piracy is the best way to pursue economic advantage!

For the price of a cup of coffee a day, Anshe, you could sponsor your very own Gabe Lippmann!

You will receive:

2 letters from Gabe and an updated photo each year.
A fact-filled brochure describing the conditions on Gabe's property.
An annual update from Gabe on his sim's community.
A complimentary subscription to Gabe's Drunken Ramblings delivered right to you.
The opportunity to write to Gabe as often as you like (or once a week, whichever is higher), as well as send birthday, Easter and Christmas gifts and cards.

I suppose it would be terribly pedantic of me to point out that LL's decision on telehub land has nothing to do with "taking Anshe's money and giving it to the poor?"

like me (who owns some hub land), you knew when you bought telehub land, that someday it MIGHT go the way of the do-do. It's called business risk... and sometimes you have to take on risk to get ahead.

I have no problem with you lobbying to protect your investments, but framing a change in policy as theft is a pretty weak argument and won't get you very far with regards to Linden Lab I wager.


People are so focused on "what I want, what I want" with LL. Give you a hint -- you want to effect policy change within SL/LL? Think about what Linden Lab wants and frame your arguments around that.

Is protecting Anshe's investment the REAL aim of the Metaverse Justice Watch?!

The risks involved are not a secret. That anyone would start a thread to stomp their feet like a child... is disappointing.

Curious point, if they did take all her money and give it to the poor... would that make her a tourist/farty like the rest of is?

heheh

I think trying to gather sympathy from a populous that she insulted the day before is pretty damn funny.

Anshe, I'll make sure to drop you a MJW t-shirt later today. I can't donate any money to your cause, but I can make sure you are clothed and sheltered from the harsh SL elements.


No need to thank me.


No, no really, its not necessary.


Just call me a tourist again, and that you yourself are on a level with the Lindens. That's all the thanks I need.

Yeah I choose the above option too.

Looks like someone is desperately hot from the heat around her and looking for some empathy.

Way to employ hysterical hyperbole to prove a non-point Anshe.

You go business girl.

You'll get sympathy when you stop looking out for solely number one, not by starting sarcastic Robin Hood polls.

If you lose hubs, it will not put anything in other people's pockets, so your extremely weak analogy is highly skewed and flawed.

Does this mean we can look forward to more transcipts of you beseeching LL to view you as above the rest of us?
