Sage advice Rob. The worst thing anyone can do is participate in political or ideological arguments. I am absolutely certain I am not the only one that immediately deletes an email of a post from that comment stream the instant I see any hint of politics or ideology in the content. (Hint: as for the Emerald OTR IM thing if LL has a legal basis for that call then no amount of screaming and insult hurling will have any effect whatsoever. Screaming into a hurricane is pointless unless you like the taste of rain.)
I further and strongly recommend if you want your opinion heard then state it once and without emotion and in a concise unambiguous plain english manner and do so in the first 2 or 3 pages of comments. This means you need to be watching the blog like a hawk if SL is important to you. Yes this means it sounds like arbitrary limits on input but I think this current issue and the endless argument over adult content policies that took place to exactly zero avail serve as prima facia evidence as to why I made that statement. ________________________________ From: Rob Lanphier <[email protected]> To: Boroondas Gupte <[email protected]> Cc: SLDev Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, October 22, 2009 7:26:02 PM Subject: Re: [sldev] [POLICY] Preaching to the choir (was: 3rd party viewer policy post on blogs.secondlife.com) On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 4:03 PM, Boroondas Gupte <[email protected]> wrote: >Rob Lanphier wrote: >>> If you disagree with what is being said there, the last thing you >>> should do is cede the venue to those you disagree with. >.... >>Wouldn't it save time for everyone if the Lindens crafting the policy >>would read SLDev and other relevant lists? Do you want a lot of people to join this list strictly for purposes of debating this policy? Are you absolutely certain that *everyone* on this mailing list would prefer to see the conversation occur here? The official place for discussion of this policy is the blog. Rob
