Next time Glen Beck talks about SL, be sure and let us know. Otherwise, kindly pipe down. Your personal opinion of NPR, or any other station or radio personality, is not at all relevant. What is relevant is the fact that a major news outlet (whether you like them or not) has dedicated several broadcasts to the discussion of our world.

It just so happens that said news outlet in this particular case is NPR. Had it been any other network, it would have been of equal interest to all of us here. Whether or not you personally hold NPR in high esteem is far from the point.

Please resist the temptation to troll, lest this forum end up closed, just like the previous General and Off Topic forums. If you've got something constructive to add, great, let's hear it. If not, don't chime in just to say what you dislike and call people names. It's obvious by now that the powers that be have run out of patience for providing resources for that sort of thing.



I see it as your Trolling to start trouble, I will bring it to SL attention, as everyone here reading my post know I am not like that. you only came on here to attack me with your views

Come on, Earl. You already tried to explain your way out of your original trollpost by calling it a joke, and by feigning apology to "those who get offended so easily" (you know, the people you had called names, the people at whom you were "shocked" for their daring to listen to a station of which you do not approve). Since you didn't get much response after that, you're now trying harder to provoke by employing the classic "accuse the accuser" move. Give it up already. People are a little smarter than that.

I'll repeat what I already said. If you've got something on topic to say, let's hear it. Otherwise, your opinion of NPR doesn't matter in this context, nor does your attempt at accusations against those who ask you to stay on topic.

This will be my last response to you on this matter. I'll be happy to discuss with you the topic of NPR's recent piece on SL, as that subject was the original purpose of this thread, or on the subject of SL in the news in general, since that's what the discussion has evolved to include, but I will not engage in any conversation about your feelings towards NPR in general, towards any particular radio personality, or towards me. I doubt anyone else will either. Please stay on topic or else be prepared to find yourself ignored from this point on. No one wants this forum to become what its predecessors were.

That doesn't mean they don't exist. :) I was making a counterpoint on that which I have seen. *tries to pass her Wired magazine through the screen... 'DAMN! Foiled again!'*


Oh, so THAT's why my monitor was making that weird scraping sound earlier! I believe you, Seola. :)

Sex on sl :p If people think its so that great. Then maybe themselves have to have more of the rl action :) NPR and their ways of looking for intersting and create ways to report information is what makes them so special.......
