Perhaps you should go and visit Europe and the rest of the world. You'd see what a wonderful place it is. No offense but you're saying something that contradicts what the U.S. stands for. Equality for all? Wouldn't blocking non-US IP's be inequality? I think doing that just because you don't want foreign customers is illegal in the U.S.... @23

Take it back and re write it in normal non BS English so anyone can understand it. Oh and next time use a spell check program. Your composers would not last a day in the corporate world. I can see it now preparing the board minutes of a major corporation, back to the steno pool. Just one last comment one of these days you are going to P.O. some old retired broad who plays the futures market and is well healed and has the patience to drag your pathetic butts across the coals several times, perhaps that will force your eyes to open hmmm perhaps not since you are dead anyway as indicated in the latest Borborygmy you have been issuing. and update the damn spell checker.

I will not stand for someone holding a gun to the back of my head when I have a considerable amount of assets that were obtained beforehand without a reasonable time frame to liquidate them. Whether I agree or disagree with the statutes of the TOS is not the issue; rather, denying me access to SL if I did not agree to the newly revised terms while holding my assets hostage. It is not only ignorant, it's evil, and it completely destroys the trust by which members need in order to continue. Simply put: dumb move Linden! As such, I will be dumping what I have and going elsewhere. I do not care if I'm the only one. It's the PRINCIPLE of the thing at stake here, and becoming Linden's one-way-street "it's our way or the highway" sucker negates the whole meaning behind honestly, integrity, and what it means to have fun.

However, not being a legal genius, I assume that the dispute would have to originate with the British office in the first place. I'm just saying your understanding isn't necessarily correct. @ 102 Thunderclap
