I disagree with the view expressed in lethality's comment. News about Linden Lab is pertinent to many, especially those of us with business and educational interest in SL.

I couldn't disagree more, Lethality. That's where Tateru's reporting is most engaging and informative--these sorts of topics which are not available via "official" propaganda channels.

Now, the regurgitation of SL blog posts, that's something I could live without. But I guess there are slow news days even at Massively. :P

Keep up the great reporting, Tateru!

lethality, if it wasn't an insult to Brokeback Mountain, I'd say you just can't quit Tateru....

Another pointless 'post' by lethality trolling the second life posts on Massively. *sigh* Virtually every Second Life posting gets a whining squeal from lethality that has nothing at all to do with the post topic, but just that the very thread EXISTS fills lethality with the need to push that 'Add Comment' button in some sort of mock indignation!

By reading your pointless other offerings in your post history, lethality, I see this is not the only game thread you troll, but ENOUGH ALREADY!

Can I say it any plainer??? NO ONE CARES YOU DON'T GET SECOND LIFE LETHALITY. The very fact you call Kat's departure 'boring' and 'obscure' shows you have no idea what the hell you're talking about, but that has never given you pause on any of your other posts I see.

The impotent whining to the editors of Massively is laughable in its pointlessness as well as an attempt to derail the post comments. That is what trolls do. Especially trolls who can't understand that just because they're too thick to see the value in something doesn't mean that it lacks value.

Dude, seriously, find some help for your addiction.

There is no value in these posts to the mainstream readers of this site. None. Not one interesting Second Life article has been posted that would be of interest to ANYONE other than the folks who already are part of Second Life.

Think about that. If the world itself isn't worth talking about then why have posts here? We don't care about Linden Lab's business issues. We want to hear about what cool content users are creating, etc.

Or, maybe it doesn't exist?

Epic fail from lethality the troll.

Dude...

Since you won't take the advice- herein lies your epic fail:

1. Your claim is without value because is subjective (I know it's a big word- look it up) and untroubled by any analysis or facts. Thus pointless. Yet you make it in every Second Life post on Massively.

2. You claim to speak for the 'massively mainstream' now? Even though you are the only troll who feels the need to push the 'Add Comment' button every time you see a Second Life post. Interesting.

3. Speaking of 'interesting', that is another subjective empty claim you hammer out on your worn keyboard o' bile.

4. You now resurrect an earlier bitchy comment from the last time you trolled one of Tateru's posts that somehow every SL post needs to appeal to people not in the game. Yet you don't make that demand of EverQuest, or WOW, or LOTRO. Hypocrisy or stupidity? Or both?

5. You DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DUDE, evidenced by the fact you think that posting about the Lindens is not talking about the world. So most people see that as an opportunity to shut up.

6. Your plural pronoun 'we' has you speaking for some invisible collective again, though YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING. ON EVERY SINGLE SECOND LIFE POST.

7. Most people who want to see the content actually GO IN THE GAME. I know it's hard for you to understand that there are issues around SL more than content (strange since every commenter who tries to explain this to you you ignore).

There is so much flawed logic flying around your posts I fear you are not being taught critical thinking skills at your junior high school.

Please demand a parent teacher conference immediately!

And leave the Second Life posts alone already, lethality the troll.
