Hello Jack Im A Human Being

To JACK LINDEN:

I am one of those Open Space Sim and Land Leasors who Has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with my Open SPACE land. I Have used it strictly for PARK NATURE LAND. Albeit I Have ONE SMALL Church on there but aside from that EVERYTHING ELSE is FOR NATURE! I just recently purchased a new WHOLE open space sim with the hopes of EXPANDING The Park. Next thing I know Linden has decided to raise the price. I frankly dont care if there was forewarning or not in previous posts! I do not pay linden employees to read their boring blog posts, I pay linden employees to help me to experience the pleasure of enjoying of SL! and I frankly dont care who they are, especially now.

There should have been A VOTE on this by All The Real People (yes believe it or not Lindens, We Are Real People out here in Second Life!) who in fact, help to line the Linden Employer and Employee POCKETS with your paycheque, so there should of been a VOTE initiated by you to ALL OF US IN SL! The Decision you made should not have been allowed to implemented by just Your Corporation without asking the People First! Its Called Diplomacy! Perhaps by having approached this diplomatically instead of dictating it to us, perhaps another and more positive solution could have been found where it did not have as much as a negative impact as it is having right now on most folks, and if it did have a negative impact with our vote, at least we all would of known we at least had a right to put our say into it!

In ADDITION, I do NOT even HAVE ONE STORE on ANY OF MY Private Lands that I currently pay Tier On! I think it is TOTALLY UNFAIR and BIASED to MAKE me and others who are like me PAY FOR OTHER GREEDY SIM AND BUSINESS OWNERS MISTAKES! In ADDITION, I pay out of my own hard working pocket for everything I own in SL and I pay in CANADIAN Dollars, which means 10 dollars to you is like 15 dollars to me! and thats min! Also, I have not only enjoyed sharing my park with others I have also spent lindens like everyone else does in SL which helps to further the business community in SL. My purchases of course mainly consist of Nature things like trees and flowers and such. SL has been a wonderful learning and sharing experience for me but I now left with a sour taste in my mouth knowing that everything I have put into it comes down to the dollar! As an artist, creator and spiritual person, I shall have to strongly reconsider my priorities and involvement in Second Life, as I can barely afford what I have now, yet the reason that I create what I create is because People enjoy visiting without the added pressure of Having to BUY or PAY for something! There are alot of folks who cannot afford to buy anything AT ALL, and they like to go to places where they are Not Constantly Pressured into BUYING things!

Practically speaking I understand that A FEE does have to be charged, nothing is for free, but to raise it in such a manner against those who have given YOU and YOUR EMPLOYEES SO MUCH, in a time of a current Recession Not to Mention, Christmas coming up, is beyond and without a doubt a complete lack of compassion on YOU and YOUR employees part!

Second Life is supposed to be about Community but if a community has closed up in itself and is only allowing the powerful and the elite to purchase land i.e. only for the rich, then what kind of community is that? Also, through your decision, it is those in need, just like in REAL LIFE, whether it is emotional, mental or spirutally, who end up suffering the most! You appear not to know the definition of the word Humane. I would strongly suggest you look it up some time, you just might become enlightened by it.

Frankly, just as you and your employees dont care what we think as whole, I also dont care what you think, although I would be curious to see if you personally had the courage to reply to me, without the addition of a no mind spiel to your words or using one of your employees to cover your *** like you so often do!

In Truth and Justice!

Mythical Destiny

Could you please stop posting the same thing all over again? Its enough wehn you post it one time and make one thread. Its against the rules of the forum to make multiple threads with the same topic again and again and is considerd as Trolling/spamming, so dont complain wehn you get banned.

Eat, Gandhi, eat!

This is nothing more than just pure greed from the Lindens point of view. You have to understand that they are ALREADY cashing in big bucks for other people's talent and work. So, naturally, they see a chance to pick our pockets more, they do
I would suggest starting to list their competitors and see if they figure out that people can be pushed only so far.

For Delta Sweetwater, Nobody is forcing YOU to read my comments and or my opinion in terms of What I post here. So If I choose to post the same thing OVER AND OVER again THEN its MY CHOICE. Its Called FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Every hear of it? In addition I see plenty of other folks posting their comments IN THIS FORUM in terms of the discontent over the raise in Prices of SL Open Space, so by all means if I am doing something inappropriate then I guess that makes everybody else that is also blogging their opinion in this forum inappropriate! Regardless I do not have to answer myself to you, so unless you have something Constructive to say, do mind me if I decide not to pay attention to your ramblings! Perhaps the reason you are so bothered by my comment is because its The Truth and you can't handle that.

As for you Klang Wopat: STATE exactly what you mean in a full sentence, and then maybe I will be able to understand what your saying respond appropriately.


Smoke Carter I agree in terms of what you say about greed. If I knew of a competitor that actually worked I most certainly would not be here, that is for sure. THE majority of competitors that are currently in existence are not ready yet to compete as there are plenty of bugs they have to work out yet. Believe me I know because I have tried some. So unfortunately we are stuck with what we have. However, Protesting and refusing to pay may be some other alternatives we can use in order for SL Linden Folks to hear and listen to our discontent. One of the others things they could offer us is A VOTE to take place before ANY of thier new fees are implemented! I think its totally unfair the way this has been thrown at us and I do think A VOTE should of been implemented amongst the SL Community as a whole, with SL Employess and SL Community involved in the counting of the Votes. In Addition, Last but Not Least, Just because it comes down to SL LINDEN greed does not make it right!

Far From Missing The Point, My Dear.

Thats all for now.

Regards.

Actually... 1) Posting the same thing 'OVER AND OVER again' is called spamming on most forums; and 2) Freedom of speech does not exist on this, a private forum. Their rules, deal with it.

Lots of people, myself included, are upset with the price increases over what was already an overpriced commodity in the first place. But until we have any indication that LL are listening, or even care, that they are pricing their game out of the market of more and more people, there isn't a lot we can do about it.

For starters I have only posted this particular comment i.e. Hello Jack Im A Human Being, on this particular thread once. In other words I Am Not Spamming! The only reason I mentioned the issue is because Delta Sweetwater was indicating or subtly referring that I Had been doing otherwise. I am not sure how these forum threads work but when I posted it in the other forum that I was initially directed to I did not see it show up for a long time and then when it did show up there was no response, THEREFORE, here I am. In addition as I stated before there other folks addressing THE SAME ISSUE in THIS FORUM which therefore tells me that I am not doing anything wrong and if WE ARE doing something wrong it is because of our concern over the recent changes of and which we have a right to be concerned! and COMMENT ON IT! In terms of what you said about Freedom of Speech, that is a load of crap, when you indicated in your comment to me that Freedom of Speech does not exist on a private forum? Have you even read some of the other comments people are posting saying here???


You also stated: "Lots of people, myself included, are upset with the price increases over what was already an overpriced commodity in the first place. But until we have any indication that LL are listening, or even care, that they are pricing their game out of the market of more and more people, there isn't a lot we can do about it."

Well Broccoli Curry the last time I checked our discontent IS being acknowledge and read by Jack Linden as well as their employees, and lets just say that if you are a per say tiny bit right they are none of the Lindens are listening to us, it certainly does not hurt to continue to voice that discontent and dissent until the very last moment, rather then to give up and give in and not do anything about it especially when you know its wrong. To me that is even worse thing to do. At least I am trying in my own way to let the Linden Folks know how and what I think of their increase, rather then sit around and do nothing about it! So again, if you do not like what I have to say and you just want to read positive thoughts then try reading another blog because frankly my dear there are alot of us who are not feeling very positive about the current situation and we have a right to comment on it and to stand up to those who have treated us unfairly and are doing something that is wrong to its members!

Regards,

No need to have a go at me, I'm on your side and my surname is not Linden

Yes we are Friends and I apologize if I sounded harsh. Its not a wonder being my comments have been attacked by a few folks that do not even know me much less understand what Im saying! Dare I say, Its left me a bit on the defensive? LOL!

Regardless, Thanks for the comment.

Peace, Peace, Peace.
