Linden Lab’s lack of grace at i live in science land

Linden Lab’s lack of grace

it’s pretty sad when one pink-haired avatar and a lovable poutine eating subQuark beat out a multi-million dollar company on search engine crap

i know i mentioned this a few posts back, but i am so mad at the firings at linden lab and the loss of massive talent and just want to scream

i am the first to say that i don’t know that much, i am not very techie, and it’s all i can do to keep my hair on

just imagine the talent of many of the Lindens that were fired! much smarter people than me for sure

what i do have going for me is a great subQuark who watches my back and does the heavy lifting which allows me to follow my passion and be “real”, i wear my heart on my sleeve and am persistent and actually do care about others – maybe that’s why we rank higher than M Linden’s Second Life today

i believe that Philip cared and was a dreamer – after all, only a dreamer could come up with something like Second Life

i don’t know why he is so absent; maybe burned out, maybe forced out – but i also believe if he came back, second life would explode with renewed hope and clear away this ugly cloud created by the loss of such great talent

i knew George Linden and Blue Linden, they both came in-world to smooth out a real world clusterf*ck with me and did so graciously

i know Whump from twitter and he is a real person and very nice

there is nothing gracious with what is happening right now at Linden Lab and it saddens me so deeply =(

just a stupid pic cuz we try to have a pic in every post . . .

Thank you Ener, I know your tone and that this affects you terribly. I feel your frustration with this and can tell this is similar to how you felt leaving Second Life.

Only this time, you can’t do anything to help make things better.

Those Lindens are smart and they will move on, probably to better things even though it is dismal at this time.

And you “not techie”? Please . . . ;)

The second life G-Team have been banning people with regions, sometimes 1 region, some times many. Dispute resolution crossed boundaries depending on who you were or knew in Linden Labs.

Lindens Behaving Badly in-world. Kicking out region owners. Passing client data to people outside SL. Falling out with businesses. Banning people without checking if they were 1 week out noobies or 3 year veterans with five regions. The later equaling $1000 per month.

Think about it this way, Apple works very hard to sell an iPad, netting them a couple hundred dollars in *a one off sale* that may not occur for that customer for another 2 to 3 years. Linden Staff were compromising sales that many businesses could only dream of.

This article is another example of Lindens alienating people: http://zonjacapalini.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/we-believe-this-is-fair/

It is time for a cleanout.
