Below I quote exerpts from the TOS:
"4.1 You agree to abide by certain rules of conduct, including the Community Standards and other rules prohibiting illegal and other practices that Linden Lab deems harmful.
You agree to read and comply with the Community Standards posted on the Websites, (for users 18 years of age and older, at

"In addition to abiding at all times by the Community Standards, you agree that you shall not: (i) take any action or upload, post, e-mail or otherwise transmit Content that infringes or violates any third party rights; (ii) impersonate any person or entity without their consent, including, but not limited to, a Linden Lab employee, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;..."
"

Posts: 169 Mods! Delete this thread so that none may know of the secret control I have over Second Life. My iron fist shall continue to rule all of this world. Those who challenge my power shall truly rue the day!

/me draws a thumb across his neck as a secret signal to Torley to eliminate this trouble maker... permanently.

Silly rabbit, the bots report to a database that all my business associates have access to.
Don't think this will protect you from the violent fury of my personal henchman Torley Linden though.

My questions to Linden Labs:
Who is this guy and why does he believe that he can threaten members with expulsion or physical harm? Why would Torley Linden want to be associated with him? Why does Linden Labs let this continue? If he is in fact within the TOS then the obvious answer is that he is associated with Linden Labs. Does this mean we are all subjet to threats by associates of Linden Labs. They have our physical addresses. These threats have to be taken seriously. If Linden fails to take action there is little hope for any ethical standard to emerge in the virtual culture of Second Life other than that which apparently exists in Linden Labs. It's the culture of Enron reborn.
