Well said that man! You were poilte enough to be heard and robust enough to make your point. Must be something in the air at the moment, there are so many poor-researched SL-bashing articles about.

Ok, I couldn’t help it. I went back and wrote a comment to Barbara who thought by being 59 made her smarter then a woman 55 who commented.

I posted to her site this: It is interesting to read a review by someone unqualified to write it. Ms. Myers either found her experience in SL (if she even came in) parallel to her FirstLife and chose to be a prostitute. However, she must have failed at this in the same way her blog fails at depth, understanding or even journalistic integrity. There are many people in SL who create within all the arts. I have bought Firstlife paintings from artists I’ve met in SecondLife. There are musicians (guess music isn’t Karen’s thing). And I imagine Ms. Myers chose the batmobile over the poetry, scripting, comedy and dancing. However, Ms. Myers probably watches television, that 2 dimensional avatar world where information is only pushed at her rather then the push/pull world of SecondLife. And, for the record, I have met many of my friends in SecondLife in Firstlife. I’ve attended plays, concerts, visited their galleries and seen just how talented so many are. Now, Ms Myers, I am not faulting your foray into “Twilight” nor your fantasy of meeting Edward but the rest of us seem to be a bit busy in SecondLife doing real things (like extending our entire lives and reaching out globally in making new friends. Also, I’ve done numerous benefits in SecondLife raising thousands of dollars for Firstlife causes such as Cancer, Coats for Kids, the Helen Keller Foundation and many more. So, I will leave your great desire to be a journalist with this comment, “I think you may be more qualified as an escort then an explorer.”

Awesome! You should refer her to your SLocto Mom spoof too.

We aren’t predominantly baby popping welfare collecting net addicted fucktards who live in filth and seduce other people’s spouses. Because infidelity NEVER HAPPENS offline… nope.

This shit makes me so angry…great response to it though ~xo~

She makes a valid point.

Before starting Half Life, I recommend everyone go down to the hardware store and get a crowbar to make sure their head crab bashing skills are up to snuff.

You have a child? Oh my. I can imagine those prim baby father son chats.
