I think everyone gets to say what they want to say. I haven't had any problems. But of course it depends on what you mean by balanced. One person's balance is another person's unfairness. I love the free flowing interchange we have here. I love how we can hear from both sides of an issue. I really don't see a problem. Maybe I'm naive. _____________________ From: Billybob Goodliffe the truth is overrated From: Argent Stonecutter The most successful software company in the world does a piss-poor job on all these points.

Not a video camera, not forums, not a fan site, nothing. The only way to truely get a good representation of SL is to go in and check it out. And even then, no, because not everyone in the world is on the forums. However yes because its a good representation of the different sides of the "vocal" community. _____________________ "Don't anticipate outcome," the man said. "Await the unfolding of events.

Your a true friend Eggy. *hands you your knife back. PS: No I'm not going to just sit here and cry without saying something. I have no idea why I envoke so much hatred from ppl in these forums but I am a real person with real feelings. Eggy that was cold blooded and it hurt, mostly cus I have known you since beta. You wanted to see me reduced to tears today, you suceeded. Now run back to the clan and pat each other on the back. I may not be the strongest person in the world or the smartest but I made the mistake of thinking my opinion mattered here. What was the point of your post? A threat, blackmail, what exactly? What ever it was it was ment to hurt and it did. Good Job. I will not post again today. My shit cup is overflowing. _____________________

I don't know if this is episodic or chronic but perhaps you could recognize that forums aren't beneficial to your current or constant state of mind and find an alternative mode of communication that results in less drama for us all. You should make the decision to abstain before that decision is made for you. ~Ulrika~ _____________________ Chik-chik-chika-ahh
