Samuel Geiger says in response to Whet Snoodle:
IN reply to Whet:
Screw your therapies and wounded soldiers and shady charity collections, etc. First off, I don't think LL's legal team covers malpractice. Secondly, no Linden is certifying any sort of degree or other medical paperwork that the AMA might want you to have to perform your fake therapies. Thirdly, this is secondlife, not virtual therapy. I've got a couple buddies that came back with PTSD and a few holes in 'em, and I'll tell ya that staring at a screen full of cartoon porn and soap opera drama isn't helping them cope any, nor is it helping with their physical therapy. More on topic, though not quite... a game designer turn CEO isn't any more qualified to certify you or anyone else in SL to perform such practices, let alone pour their time and effort into making sure it's an available function.

In response to Samuel Geiger:
Samuel you have totally missed the point of my suggestion and though you have experience with friends harmed in action you do not understand cognitive disorders not stemming from birth. The potential for wounded people to work out memory, creativity, organization and method of application as well as communication skills are nearly unlimited and way less costly than many many other forms of treatment currently available.
Gawking at the pixel porn and that form of activity is NOT what I was referring to and is not all that SecondLife is about at all. I was referring to a private sim along the order of serious therapy not congruent with your sad vision of what a virtual environ has a potential of providing is NOT what I was referring to and I agree with you regarding what is available in a wandering sense in SL but I see you have made bad choices and need to investigate other portions of the Grid. There are so many wonderful aspects to SecondLife that actually afford people the ability to act out and vent in ways that they are unable to in real life. Many people as avatars all around the globe are affectionately connected to SL because nowhere in their RL are there as many people that will tell them they are wanted, loved and needed and that they are cared about and this alone is a big therapy for randomly anyone who needs it ... not just a animation parley of sexual encounters.
I feel that the new CEO will bring abilities and knowledge regarding capabilities and function so as to make it an even deeper virtual reality in contrast to what many of us find ourselves locked into in real life and an excellent way to be and become way way more creative and inspiring to others.
I just cannot accept such a negative point of view as you have and care VERY much about people that I will never know that I know can benefit from the SecondLife environ in so many way AND get an education in all manner from wonderful people located in all corners of the earth.
