You know what -- SCREW you people who think "some have big stakes, other have smaller stakes." Stakes are RELATIVE, you pompous, arrogant windbags, bathing in the money of newbies and the less fortuneate. The "little stake" I have is a "BIG FUCKING STAKE" to me and my family. I pay three of our utility bills every month with the money I make from SL, and unlike all you "I-make-a-five-figure-salary-in-SL-dont-I-deserve-to-run-this-place" morons, if that income stops, my family HURTS. What happens to you if your income stops? Yeah, you hurt, too. So why is my stake ANY LESS FUCKING IMPORTANT THAN YOURS!?
I've been so let down these past few days. I don't even enjoy logging in after all the bullshit secret society crock I've been reading.

They even let me in.  95% of my post was about stakes and you focus on my last sentence. It's secret if it's not announced and no one is invited except a select few. I can hold a metting at the top of Mount Everest, but not everyone can get there or know its going on. Yeah, it's a public meeting, but its PURPOSELY set up to exclude people.

Uhm, i ment to say that your stake is important aswell. I agree the first meeting with philip was not very open, a select group had come together and came up with a plan and contacted Philip. But by doing that it came all in the open, and i'm not so sure as you that they are trying to purposely exclude people at this time.

It was announced at the Town Hall meeting. That should count for something. Hardly secret, in any case. coco

And I WASN'T there, Nolan. That's why I wasn't at the meeting. Doesn't mean anyone is trying to keep it secret from me, or from anyone. coco

It's late and I'm just idly speculating, but something funny did occur to me. (edited)

Thumbs up to the OP of this thread. I've read *all* the threads regarding this MJW group, I've read the meeting transcript carefully, and I've sat on my opinion all day to make sure that I wasn't reading things the wrong way.
Nope. This is a crock, and mostly shame on the Lindens for indulging this non-representative special lobby group. The lindens should either deal with ALL of the players (yes, we're all players and screw the attempts to stratify so-called stakeholders from so-called tourists, etc.) through an elected representative body, or they shouldn't deal at all in this manner.

I've been so let down these past few days. I don't even enjoy logging in after all the bullshit secret society crock I've been reading. We are looking for people like you! You obviously depend on SL to a serious degree and should be very interested in the issues we are trying to raise!

From: Malachi Petunia It's late and I'm just idly speculating, but something funny did occur to me. (edited) Was it really necessary to express your message by delivering a personal insult directed at Anshes ethnic heritage. This is a no no and you are smart enough to know this. You may not agree with her position on issues or her business practices, but dammit no one deserves the personal insults she gets delivered at her heritage. What is this 1950s Alabama....shame on you.

U may be right Katy HOWEVER when one savvy chick makes a statement about how she and others are more 'deserving' of rights and attention than others then my sympathy wanes. She..Anshe my NOT speak English as her first language, however she seems to do damn fine in the business world of SL and I commend her, HOWEVER if there is ever ANY misunderstanding it is somehow a language barrier....bullshit I say. Disclaimer: When I see peeps chew on another peep who is obviously not of an English speaking origin yes...I get pissed. This is so not the same thing. Maybe Malachi should not have said what she did but seriously I see it as a parody of 'sorry me not know better, so 'scuse whatever the fuck I say eh'
