I didn't say honestly, I said - takes it to the level of attack the person rather than debate the issue. But hey, I'm partisan, take it or leave it. We know the Demorats never use the "He is a .........ist", where the last word is what ever title they think will shut up the opposition. _____________________

Chocolate brownie cheesecake made with a chocolate chip cookie crust . . . Pep ( . . . and Jameson's hot chocolate sauce poured over FTW.) PS With white Belgian chocolate ice cream in case you're still peckish. _____________________

Second Life gives us the freedom to be who or what we want, where ever we want. We can build as we please, act as we please, bling as we please. These are all individual freedoms. There is, however, a point within Second Life where individual wants and needs should subsume themselves to the needs of the community. Large gatherings of people require that all individuals work together to reduce lag by removing scripted objects, flexible and alpha-textured attachments, and other items that may tax both Linden Lab servers and individual computers. Each sim on the grid can be seen as a micro-community; each landowner, while allowed complete individual freedom, has a responsibility to not overwhelm the limited resources of that sim. These owners include Linden Lab itself, which owns many InfoHubs around the grid and does nothing to honor the rights of the remaining sim land owners. Unfortunately, "the tragedy of the commons" is all too evident in these cases. Thanks Oryx! This is thoughtful, intelligent, and articulate. I am sure that I will be in touch with you about it . . . I very much hope you will be willing to let me quote from it. _____________________

As a left wing feminist, I'm now curious as to who and what this group is. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to these so fully! I will, without doubt, be in touch with you; you make some really excellent points! If you are at all interested in the SLLUFN, give me a shout in-world. The group list itself was temporarily closed recently (we were infiltrated by a group that copied out membership list to a number of other groups, with the result that some of our members were harassed with some pretty nasty IMs), but in the meantime, I'd be delighted to supply you with any information you might like, as well as an invitation to attend one of our weekly meetings, if you are at all interested. _____________________
