My perspective on
SL has been formed by my very active participation on the forums (SC,
SLU, SS) for the majority of my residence on the grid. More recently, however, I've been making an enlarging circle of friends from my customer base at the store.
It's been an eye-opening experience in that the majority of them are usually completely oblivious to the issues that are burning the forums. Several of them turned out to be living on OSS and had no idea what it means, and didn't really seem to grasp the implications even after I tried to fill them in. It was simply too much technical information at one time for them to absorb. They want a place to live. Period. They are only vaguely aware of the difference between mainland, estates and OSS because visually there is so little distinction.
So yes, I think that as strong as the protest is now, there's going to be a major re-visit to the issue come January when the policy change hits them all, without warning in their eyes.
