As SL grew it became more difficult for him to be that way, obviously, but for a time he was very involved with members, which I really enjoyed. You could email him and get a response, he posted in the forums, came to resident events, hung out at the welcome area, and was just generally involved and incredibly approachable.
I really miss that - it is part of what made SL very appealing for me - the sense that we were all involved in building something special, not just customers. The disillusionment that followed was quite a drop. |
Cris and Ingrid, while I DO appreciate and even respect your perspectives on rosedale, mine is quite different.
Cris, I don't think it matter WHEN I joined
SL [1/07] my view is based on my perception that....well..let's say that I do not believe Rosedale worships at the altar of truth. I think he will tell ANYBODY ANYTHING they want to hear at a given time. At best, he is all tak and no action. At worst he is a pathological liar, meaning he honestly can't differentiate between truth and fiction. I think he is somewhere in between the two.
Granted, I have never met him or any other Linden in either RL or
SL. I DO meet charmers all the time inmy line of work so I like to think that I would be impervious to his charms in the highly event we ever did meet.
