There is an excellent post entitled "Confirmed: Latest Second Life Drama Largely Driven by Misunderstanding, Scant Evidence (As It Usually Is)" by Wagner James Au on the blog New World Notes that everyone involved with SecondLife should take the time to read.

The post centers around the drama (non-Swedish this time) caused by Miso Susanowa and her allegations concerning a logo chosen by Linden Lab to celebrate Second Life's 8th anniversary.

Miso Susanowa claims that the logo was based on a design she originally did and was used without attribution or credit, which led to a community-wide controversy, with many calling for boycott, lawsuits, and filing DMCA notifications against the company.

I posted a comment to this post which I want to share with you here.

Excellent post, thank you!

Admittedly the Lindens make mistakes, they are only human after all, and admittedly they are not always able to respond to a problem as fast as the erratic residents of our world would wish.

Like you I believe that the overreactions among us residents more often than not lead to time and energy wasted on matters of little importance than being used to the betterment of SecondLife.

I can also wholly understand that some creative and talented people at the Lab would leave the company because of such turbulence.

We could all do better if we stopped bitching and complaining wildly all the time and instead channeled our efforts to work with and support the Lindens in improving the world we all love.
