Hamlet won my vote as best news source, others agreed. Take a look at the official forum and tell me this isn’t a big issue or that people are mostly in support of this policy

OR………

Hamlet has a different view than you!!

Just because someone doesn’t share your views doesn’t make them a tool.

Unless you don’t share my views.

Tools

I agre with Ann O’Toole here (take a snapshot this doesn’t happen often), Hamlet is being used as a PR tool over this issue, with the emphasis on tool.

I asked Hamlet about this very issue (re Linden butt-boy) after another blog who likes to tweak him on this touched on it.

He denied and if you look at his post-2006 gigs and books (look at his bio on Amazon.com) it just doesn’t make sense he needs them or is owned by them.

Now – are his connections inside the beast something that annoy other bloggers – that is another topic. M. Linden isn’t talking to us but neither is the assistant manager of the KFC I worked when I 16 talking to Hamy. We would ridicule him for not using those connections.

Yes, yes, Adric, I kind of figured some people would react that way. However, the historical parallel is simply too good a fit here. (The fact that I read John Scalzi’s Agent to the Stars recently may have had something to do with that; one of the plot points in the book turns on a movie being made about the life of one of the survivors of the Warsaw ghetto, so the historical event was fresh in my mind.) Cala also pointed this out via Twitter, to which I mentioned that I’d already self-Godwinned the post.

Much as I’d like to criticize Hamlet, Ann, I don’t know how valid that would be, given that I’ve been neglecting SL blogging for so long myself and hence haven’t been part of the conversation. I can remedy that, but it’ll take time, something I’ve been lacking in for a while now…

Hamlet and his cronie Mitch Wagner are both in the paid service of Linden Lab so their publications are as reliable as Pravda or whatever the Nazi propaganda publication was. They won’t even address IP and Trademark Rights coming out instead squarely supportive of copyright and trademark theft. Unbelivable. Stealing is perfectly acceptable to Linden Lab and their henchmen reporter goons. Unless, of course, it is a case of someone stealing their IP or trademarks which they vigorously defend.

Bad Math Erbo.

Dead Jews = Exiled Porn = ERROR ERROR

It’s an overused comparison the Act of Good Blog Taste of 2008 banned as I recall.

Rest of your stuff is great (I just would never of found it minus your NWN post).
