[Welcoming Teen Grid Organizations to the Main Grid]

You assume much in your statements.

 

"Am I to assume only those in favor of allowing anyone under 18 onto the main grid is either a petifile or someone who has something personal to gain from this."

Please do quote me with my blessing.  If you think I am harsh wait till the fallout of this bad decision erupts in the news the first time a child cries foul.

It has been several weeks since we announced that Teen Second Life, our Second Life grid for 13- to 17-year-olds,  will be closing at the end of this year, and that we would be admitting  16- and 17-year-olds to the main grid.

98% of the grid will now become (M) Mature, blocking the kids from seeing anything that we don't wish them to see.  The 2% that remain are the ones that will open themselves to lawsuits when they "accidentially" act inappropriet twords a 16 year old.  Let's not forget that 16 year olds are no angels either and many problems will stem from their own misbehavior or pushing the limits of what is acceptable.  I have half a mind to change my sim to (A) Adult so there is no mistaking my views on this.  For those of you inviting the kiddies in;  good luck with that, ignorance truely appears to be bliss on this blog.
