It might make some sort of sense to ban a person from the forums, but turning away their business as well? That's kinda suicidal for most any company, especially the more of it that goes on (and the more the word gets around).

And then to keep their Lindens, too! That is the worst! That's pure flat-out theft in my book, including when the Lindens do it, unless that money was gotten through theft or fraud in the first place.

And that is EXACTLY why we need OnRez. If SLX was the ONLY of its kind, it would be even easier for them to continue their utter shit behaviour. In a monopoly, there is no suicidal behaviour.
As far as favoritism - d'uh. There's friendly gestures though, and there's despotic nepotism. As with anything, as long as it's happening moderately, fine. But don't go over the line.
I have some designer friends who give me free stuff - I don't see the problem. I don't bitch about others getting free stuff either. Then again, noone else is harmed when I receive free stuff. It's not like someone else freezes to death because I get a free jacket or because I get a free 20 prim storefront in a sim owned by a friend, in a mall with half of the stores empty anyway.
On the other hand, if a friend was to tell me: "remember that trashy ex of yours? Want me to steal all her L$ and kick her off our marketplace?" That would be a whole different case.

I do like having two different sites for sales, though, because that reaches more people, and there are people who prefer the looks and functionality of OnRez.

And that's the second reason I prefer having two sites. Two options always beats one option.
