Who? Me?

When I left SL for a long hiatus back in July, one of the reasons was that many SL merchants were whiners, hypocrites, and people who had little involvement with retail businesses or capitalism in general. In fact, some were actually anti-capitism with the exception of their own SL businesses.

In those cases, they wanted to see capitalism help them as much as possible.

That’s why I wasn’t shocked upon my discovering one merchant who on one hand wants excessive exclusivity when it comes to the right to sell items but on the other hand isn’t too keen on exclusivity if she is the one who is excluded when it comes to actually making the stuff.

The hypocrites walk among us on the grid.

Private Messages - December 2009

The “new” issue of Private Messages is now available on Issuu.com. I say “new” because it’s actually a re-formatted version of a copy that had limited availability several months ago. The previous layout was primitive in nature and hopefully this one has a more professional look.

As was the case with the original, access is limited to those who are 18 and older.
