…across from or near an active infohub, I do take commercial advantage of the space and traffic. However, it seems I have a bit of a subversive streak which drives me to use this bit of land for…other purposes.
I’ll admit to it: I’m a little touchy sometimes. Perhaps just occasionally irritable. Every now and then, something I see or hear (not necessarily at the infohub) will set me off, prompting me to whip up something to sit front and center of the Braunworth infohub newbie spawn point.
You can probably guess what got to me on this day. I really hope someone learned something from it.
The second time? I set out this helpful Public Service Announcement. I really enjoy teaching the extra-special secrets to the new folk.
Tonight, I was hanging around Little Silent Hill and overheard someone shoutranting about Second Life in some attempt at shaming the nearby users. This person was full of admonishments, berating everyone within earshot that SL was “just as flawed” as their real lives, that there were no “rainbows and unicorns” here…and that no one does anything in SL but the virtual nasty.
Hm. Well. That didn’t sit so well with me.
So! In addition adding this person to my mute list for the sin of loving to hear themselves yell while standing upon a soapbox constructed of their own delusions, the infohub front lawn now has this to keep everyone happy, even the anti-pixelslapping raving malcontents among us.
(Apologies to the talented Whinge Languish of Ninja Weasel Studios, maker of the very fine unicorn avatar who’s head I used for this spontaneous expression of defiance. :3)
Considering that Second Life simply never relents as a provider of provocative nonsense, it seems likely that I’ll continue being spot-creative like this in the future, poking back in my own side-of-the-road-signage way. I loves me some catharsis.
With much love,
