No golf? Wouldn't be much point. You would run out of golf balls as you are surrounded on all sides by forest so deep and thick if you walk 20 feet into it you lose your sense of direction and are hopelessly lost. Besides, there is fishing and rye. No time left for golf. I am raised inner city; I learned how to golf in an inner-city (I had to check the style guide for hyphenation) environment. We played rooftop golf. Yes, we would drive or use an iron to get our ball from the roof of one building to another; any building we could gain access would be considered a hole. Par was assessed on distance. The drain pipes were the 'holes'. My point is that trees (too low) or fish (because we were only a four iron from the Fulton fish market) never got in our way, and we drank lots of bourbon too. There is always time to golf in the summer. ETA: We lost buckets of balls and broke more windows than Hurricane Sandy, but we golfed.

[PS The inhabitants of Towcester actually pronounce the "Tow" as in "toe", so that their town sounds like the small white goods appliance which is everybody's favourite choice of wedding present, but then again, those same inhabitants think sausages are the acme of haute cuisine.] [PPS I assume that you support Leicester City, or maybe Blackpool] I am not one of the residents/inhabitants of Towcester, but you must cut a little slack to some of us Americans. I read Towcester as toaster, and my speech still has an echo of toaster when I pronounce 'Tow' as now or as toe so it always sounds like toaster. Go figure. Perhaps they should shorten their town name to just 'Ester' and save on all the explanations. I have experienced sausage that I would consider outstanding in taste -- haute cuisine. Chicken with truffle and pistachio sausage. Wow. However, I do believe, and I could be wrong, that everyone in Towcester thinks sausages are the acme of haute cuisine regardless of how Towcester is pronounced. Talk about night fever!.

  9. PS Unlike Bitcoin, Linden Lab, I'm sure, pay their fair share of USDollar taxes on their 'fake' currency. And this is a yay for the 'real' USD. PPS I love an American success story!
  10. My field is the design, study, and implementation of (computer) operating systems. I try so hard to get my head around Economics, but I find that it is a really, really big subject. I understand some of it, I miss some of it, and the rest is Greek to me. (I so much want to learn the Greek language, but that's more to read, in their own language, the Giants of literature.) I think the article is a good read; well written and informative, but I didn't get where he wanted to go with it. I'm more impressed with the valuation implied with Linden Lab; they have a ~billion dollar a year economy they manage. Not bad for a private company.

We appreciate your constructive feedback! I've numbered them for readability. No. 1) I think you are trying to fool us with this question. Read again the posts above. Many posters outside of the 10-15 everyday posters to this forum think that because of the moderation, intelligence; humor; sarcasm; irony, and wit, are forbidden. Like I wrote, read the above posts again. Focus on a couple of Dres's posts. No. 2) Insofar as "other channels", well, that's an easy one. Intelligent OP's, smart, humorous responses; clever people writing clever English for the purposes of entertaining other forumites. Imo, Xiola, and with the respect due a Linden, I think your post is fluff.

I've done my own unfair share of flaming posts, and I regret all of them. I don't mind at all that it's held to a minimum these days. Yes, Dillon, this is certainly Maddy's forum these days. Just as she wanted, and in a cult-ured sort of way. Three cheers for Maddy. Hip-hip-horray. It is no wonder to me that many no longer participate here - the OP nailed it.

Regardless, I have no real control over what anyone does in this Forum, only control over my own words. You are what you ̶e̶a̶t̶ post, I took notice. Are you proud to be a hypocrite, or are you just sayin?

For every socialist fascists are the worst enemy and calling someone a fascist is indeed a harsh and general insult. We can live and cooperate with alot of ppl and political models, from social market economy, over a controlled capitalism up to communism. From anarchists to nationalists. But never the fascists! As an American I feel we should stop/ban all in-coming flights from the continent of Africa until this ebola issue is resolved. I understand South Africa is a long way from the epi(demic) center, but just isolating northern Africa would be considered racist. Immigration reform would also help, but short term preventative measures are also necessary. ETA These ^ are just a few of my favorite things to do I hope I was helpful while keeping ontopic.

I understand your frustration over griefing, but there are simple and effective methods available to you and your wife to escape and avoid it. Griefers, whether in-world, or here in the forum, thrive on the attention they can get by pushing people's buttons. And when our buttons are pushed, our anger can compromise our judgement, exposing us to claims of hypocrisy. It's unreasonable to come to the forums and ask EVERY one of us to complain to Linden Lab. None of us experienced the griefing first hand, or have direct evidence of it. So we are in no position to file abuse reports. The spurious filing of abuse reports is itself an abuse of the system, and it's unfair to ask us to do that. I do not mean to dismiss your wife's pain over this, but in anonymous social settings like SL, you will encounter disagreeable behavior. And because that behavior is not physically dangerous, SL can be a good place to learn how to keep it from upsetting you, while (or by) taking steps to address it. Those steps may not always be effective, but even the most ineffective of constructive responses, or no response at all, is better than the often self destructive results of an emotional backlash. Could there possibly exist another post anywhere in this virtual world that reads any better than the above? I think not. I'm still trying to grasp its meaning, but it reads so deep. Wow!
