The period of expansion is the most difficult stage to manage because of cash-flow.<br /><br />Jim was right to pick her up on the points he did, but the idea that IWz is a commercial-free hippy enclave is more dangerous, I think, than the idea that everyone is getting rich.<br /><br />A budding economy is basically what we need rather than a world of freebies like OpenSim.<br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly with your last statement.sororNishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385408562954387986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590156455847470480.post-45293375625974399892010-09-08T05:48:09.478-07:002010-09-08T05:48:09.478-07:00Jim Tarber has weighed in on this (as have I, in t...Jim Tarber has <a href="http://jimrantsnraves.blogspot.com/2010/09/inworldz-attitudes.html" rel="nofollow">weighed in on this</a> (as have I, in the comments).<br /><br />Ever Astounded is astoundingly wrong about a lot of things in her rant. The most egregious <i>might</i> be that she's declared there's some kind of "Inner Circle" in InWorldz (at least she realizes that <b>FIC</b> is already copyrighted by Prokofy...)<br /><br />I say "might be" the most egregious, except that Ever then commented in Jim's blog to the effect that mentors should be careful of what they say -- even when they're not acting as mentors -- simply because they <i>are</i> mentors.<br /><br />What that sounds like to me is Ever blaming something other than her own lack of critical thinking for mistaking the blather of one person in InWorldz as grid policy.<br /><br />Yes, Marie is wrong. Yes, Ever is wrong, too. InWorldz is not to blame for either of their mistakes.Lalo Tellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711076861284942835noreply@blogger.com
