From: Teeny Leviathan Lindens move forward with policy change. SL does not come to an end. Equilibrium is slowly restored. Yeah, this episode is a repeat. I've seen it before.  ID verification isn't a repeat and it will really bite them in the arse....sorry, ass. Forerunners for others to use ID verification they may well be remembered as, but it's going to undermine their product, martyrs to the cause. |

From: Broccoli Curry Have you ever wondered *why* some people are fearful of leaving their locked skyboxes?
I can wander round Second Life with no fear whatsoever, as my behaviour, look or whatever, shouldn't offend anyone.
Unless you have Ereuthrotrichopathophobia of course.
Broccoli Geez. "I'm caucasian and christian, and I have the right sexuality. Yay! I don't need to fear the guys in the grey uniforms or those with the white masks. As for the others... it's their own fault. They chose to grow up as perverts." |

From: Brenda Connolly Don't believe what you see on TV or in the papers especially from the Hysterical types down here. Or the rantings of spoiled wanna be social anarchists. Freedom is alive and well here in the lower 48, despite The Patriot Act Panic, Needing Passports to enter Canada and Mexico (and Possibly Ohio), and the TSA (Thugs Standing Around) confiscating nail clippers and spring water at airports. Where else but in the Land of the free can you have Starbucks on every Corner (Yuck), Paris Hilton and Gene Simmons TV shows and American Idle. I wonder where James Madison hid Freedom to be idiots in the Constitution. Although these two Amendments are largely ignored, they do contain the Right to be an Idiot. But Congress and the several states, thru various nanny state laws have removed many if not most of the ways that nature would cull the gene pool of said idiots. Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. |

If I had a dime for every time the forums experienced a mass freakout over LL policy changes, I'd have one bigass jar of dimes. My point was that like so many past freakouts, this will pass. This time next year, the forums will be all about the next big policy change.

I don't know which I admire more, the below quoted post, or your sig.

I think it was Jefferson who said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance". Personally, I'd rather freak out at every threat to my enjoyment of SL than try to log on one day and find I've been banned due to an AR over previously-acceptable behavior. |

Let's you blow off steam, have a little fun.
