The blog entry's reply #36, by Razrcut Brooks, is the single stupidest comment I've ever seen in
SL on any forums. (Sorry, Razrcut.)
Starting with, "Please ignore all the uneducated neagativity[sic] by the minority of residents who do not 'get it.'"
(I really hate it when people come in and suck up to the Lindens and encourage them to ignore everyone else.)
And moving on through, "Many business/website/blog creators are upset because they cannot get away with capitalizing on LL’s success any longer."
What an oxymoron. LL would literally not have the success it does were it not for the success of individual businesses in
SL, and their concomitant websites and others.
You might even say LL has quite literally piggybacked on OUR successes.
To top it off, he suggests, "if you cannot see the difference in
SL Ballet and
SL Ballet Troupe then please use a lifeline and ask a buddy to explain it to you. …. kthksbye."
Too bad he didn't just EXPLAIN the difference, then. I just got done asking here what the difference is, and I tell ya what, there IS no difference.
The only difference is a "troupe" and a ballet company, such as San Francisco Ballet, is generally considered smaller than a company, and/or is a group who travels (but not always).
Troupe:
1. a company, band, or group of singers, actors, or other performers, esp. one that travels about.
–verb (used without object)
2. to travel as a member of a theatrical company; barnstorm.

(I did get a kick out of somebody earlier on who asked what LL had against ballet! haha)
Edit: I thought of a reason. Maybe there would be ANOTHER group that wanted to be known as
SL Ballet. And rather than that group have to append something like "troop" onto the end, nobody gets to be
SL Ballet, and everyone has to append something.
