Again, your swipe ...Beth, I fail to see your point. Again, your swipe is misplaced, and again, you should be challenged on your idea that I'd be gloating over any misery for the Lindens; I would be doing no such thing. And I'm not "on" this story of why Cory Linden would leave SL. To cover this story, you'd have to be very much an LL insider, like the writers at massively.com, or know Cory, or know his friends, or have some sort of proximity. I can only analyze it from outside, I've already done that, based on whatever news has been gathered, and I don't imagine there will be much more to say about it until Cory himself gives an interview or shows up at a competitor.<BR/><BR/>ProkofyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462957723334149373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38265606.post-74033254045331759622007-12-12T05:36:00.000-05:002007-12-12T05:36:00.000-05:00Well.....!I hope Cory takes time to step back and ...Well.....!<BR/><BR/>I hope Cory takes time to step back and think before taking the first wads of dollars waved at him.<BR/>Here's what I hope for - he uses his experience of SL, good or bad, to re-evaluate the whole idea and then comes up with SL2 or Third Life as a competitor to LLabs. What an opportunity for him to put things right and start over. I doubt whether he'll get any problems funding it and damn sure it'll be better. I for one will sign up.piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604917641440363231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38265606.post-7046600860394650182007-12-12T01:41:00.000-05:002007-12-12T01:41:00.000-05:00Dear Prokofy (I corrected the spelling of your nam...Dear Prokofy (I corrected the spelling of your name in the original post; my apologies): <BR/><BR/>I don't know you, but I do read your blog, and, of any person in SL, I believe you are most vocal about the happenings of the Lindens and the FIC. Admittedly, your posts deal more with criticism and less with praise, but, nonetheless, I support your rights to free speech. As a journalist trained by some of the greatest on earth, you will surely uncover many roots in this case, and I hope that you will employ all efforts to maintain journalistic ethics in reporting what you find. <BR/><BR/>All the best, <BR/>BethBeth Ritter-Guthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469520509031465630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38265606.post-8834963481681326742007-12-12T00:21:00.000-05:002007-12-12T00:21:00.000-05:00Oh, and I have no idea what that nasty swipe is ab...Oh, and I have no idea what that nasty swipe is about "people like Pokofy don't capitalize on assumed misery". Why would you think I would do such a thing? I'm not one of those bloggers constantly lying in wait to slam Linden Lab and gloating at its misery. I would challenge you to find a post like that. I do criticize LL stringently, as well I should, given the awesome consequences of what they are doing.<BR/><BR/>I predicted it, yes, merely because founding fathers always end up quarrelling about vision at some point, I've seen him happen many times in organizations as they grow larger and older.<BR/><BR/>Super-duper professional or not, Beth, they need to grow up and say in plain layman's terms *what* these differences basically sum up as. Is it about Google? Open source? The Grid? What? We need to know this, as it affects our own business and other use of SL.<BR/><BR/>ProkofyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462957723334149373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38265606.post-54132694193507660812007-12-12T00:18:00.000-05:002007-12-12T00:18:00.000-05:00I hope Cory doesn't defect to the Chinese.Chadrick...I hope Cory doesn't defect to the Chinese.<BR/><BR/>Chadrick Linden left the Lab last Friday, without any comment, but I've confirmed it.<BR/><BR/>ProkofyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462957723334149373noreply@blogger.com
