Someone called The Whisperer - one of those bloggers who get off attacking everyone and everything - caught sight last month of an incident related by merchant owner LTD and why they chose not to support Relay For Life of Second Life this year. Suffice it to say not much about it surprised me, and they were very clear about this being an SL-based issue.
Enter The Whisperer. He used this as a springboard to tear into Relay For Life and The American Cancer Society, RFL of SL and RFL of InWorldz. Many of his rhetoric has no basis and is outright false.
Naturally, as with other megalomaniacal bloggers we've seen, their mindless minions respond in blind reverance, one even calling Relay For Life a scam.
This blogger seems to be on a hate spree, given some other entries I skimmed while tracking this one down.
I posted the following response. It remains to be seen whether The Whisperer will approve it to his comments.
While I agree with many of your points regarding RFL of SL behavior (I've documented it in great detail), your statements of where donations go both in SL and IW are **FALSE** and inciteful and need to be edited. It is stated clearly that ALL money goes to the American Cancer Society. The avatars collecting on both grids were set up by ACS staff. Clicking a kiosk on either grid takes you to info about where the donations go and what they fund.
You may have a grudge over people or a cybersocial site, but ACS is legit and their efforts should not be maligned so frivolously
As for Inworldz, I didn't post anything about my first season with them last year. I owe you at least an overview, and very soon.
