Ah, post ignored yet again, right on schedule, I must say. 
She's good for that but will champion you later in another thread and make your obdulla oblongata explode. I promise.

Another example is how the Lindens changed the way the auction system worked to benefit large land resellers (land barons) at the expense of the small land owner. ulrika, you should retract this statement because it is wrong. _____________________

I protest. This poll lacks the obligatory "Hillary Clinton for president!" option.

Everything you deny surrounds you. It's as if you're a fish stating you're against water. Indeed. When will you finally admit and accept that SL is a game, not a country? (grin) _____________________

Ulrika, you are so right about whatever it is you are saying. All the people who say you are arrogant and self-absorbed are either jealous or to dumb to know how to agree. Oh yes, whip me harder ! I'm not worthy ! I'm a lowly anti-intellectual ! I'm on par with self-deluding idiotic "Intelligent design" advocates ! Ulrika says people opposing "Bill of Rights, player-run moderation, reformation of land auctions, binding democratic votes" are opposing the growth of SL. I disagree strongly with this opinion of hers. I wanted to vote for the CowboyNeal option, but there's none  _____________________

In conclusion the only strategy that wins in all cases is that of doing what you want against all adversity, as long as you respect that right in others.

There are some people who, whilst working for the empowerment of the "common man", fighting inequities and inequality, espousing the fight to make the world better for everybody, present those views in such a way to be insulting, inaccessible or inflamatory towards those they would wish to be seen to speak for. There are those who show a complete lack of ability to see past the plain knowledge or to present their argument in a way that is inclusive, rather than divisive, to those they aim it at.
Too much pure intellect, not enough basic understanding. I'm "anti" that. Knowledge and intellect are good, if you know how to temper them with reality and use them effectively. _____________________

If an intellectual falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it still make a sound? And what about the forest creatures, don't they count?

Yea, thats what we need, Democrat and Republican types running SL. If that happened I'd leave SL becuase it would cease being fun and be just another virtual copy of RL with a bunch of intellectuals running the place

Remind me to never reply to these kind of threads again, I suppose either my post count is too low, or I just can't shout hard enough and jump high enough to be noticed.

It seems like most progressive causes in SL (Bill of Rights, player-run moderation, reformation of land auctions, binding democratic votes) are opposed not by the Lindens or by special interest groups (land barons, forum junkies) that might suffer from the changes but by a crowd of anti-intellectuals, who irrationally resist change. ~Ulrika~ I think the intellectuals are opposed to these things as well, so you actually have two lobbying groups to contend with here. _____________________

While I do have serious reasons behind creating this thread, it wasn't designed to be a vehicle for serious debate, which is why I'm not really replying to serious questions. Catch me in another threads some other time and I'll be more responsive. As for this thread, just post pictures of pecan pie and you'll be set. ~Ulrika~ _____________________
