So your final Nimbus Score is 8.15, a quite remarkable achievement for a biped. Congratulations Crunch, you should be very proud. |

For the record, so it is part of this thread, today the SL5B staff contacted me and reversed their earlier decision that I could not display a pic of myself and my SL daughter in the same image, even though we were both fully clothed and not even touching each other. I was asked to restore the picture that had previously been prohibited, and when I asked to place a second pic of the two of us, they looked at it and agreed it could be posted as well.

Sorry, LL won't let me tell you where I sell my textures and where I offer my services as a sim builder. Ask me in-world.

How... gracious, to grudgingly give you permission after examination to post an innocent picture in a "resident-run" event. I hope this sort of madcap libertarianism does not backfire on them. _____________________

Ok, he is strictly speaking not outright lying (this time). I'm just not sure it's the *residents* who needs clearing up. Seriously, is there a way to officially deliver a "vote of no confidence" to LL? This man is dangerous for the stability of, and belief in, the platform. |

I dont know what the actual answer is.. I just know LLs response was at best...flaccid. That's a very good way to put it, and now I know why we still haven't seen the promised blog entry... ...the Lindens are still waiting for their shipment of Lie-agra to come in to firm up their flaccid reasoning. |

What was it? I wanna post it... Should be fairly obvious if you check the blog now. Currently no need to repost. I actually hope nobody answers the question posed by #5 "who is Stephen Venkman", forcing either the Lindens to answer, or people to go search for the full story. Google certainly provides plenty of reading material using those keywords. |

You know, I had intended to avoid the entire Linden-fubar'd SL5B, but I may just have changed my mind.
I'm strongly considering going just so I can wear a sign above my head that says something like: "Rated 'E'verett for Nobody" Or make a cup of "Linden Kool-Aid" that can give out copies of itself, that contains a notecard with Everett's "submissions from child avatars will be declined" and his "well, we really meant" stuff from this blog post. And so on. _____________________

I am so angry right now.. I can't even put words to it.
Katt Linden Says; June 17th, 2008 at 11:48 PM @25 Hi, Abigail, I guess you misunderstood. Allow me to clarify. There never was any ban on a specific type or group of avatar. There was a request to keep things PG. Full stop. – Katt ... in other news, there are no US/Coalition tanks entering Iraq.  _____________________

It was "respectfully declined" that did it for me.
That phrase is loaded with contempt, smug judgementalism, and disrespect. _____________________

Well. Neither the original condescending refusal, nor the revisionist "correction" really tick me off, you know?
Why? To paraphrase a line from one of my favorite actors: You know what E. Linden is saying right now? "Damn kid avs ain't messin up MY event". Know where he's saying it? Out in front of Mari's SL5B build. That's why. *blinking innocently* _____________________
