This post could be a classroom lesson in "how to alienate people and not be taken seriously".
Daniel Smith <javajo...@gmail.com>: >>> 1. Will there be procedures in place to prevent someone else to use my >>> true avatar name as their display name? >> >>No. > > Wrong answer. Actually it's the right answer! The question was "will there be procedures in place", and since the current Lab plan is that there won't be procedures in place, "No" is the right answer. You can argue that the current plan should be changed, but "wrong answer" just makes you sound faux-macho and confrontational. > I think the Lindens are underestimating the legal fallout that will ensue when names are abused. Lame Internet lawyers are lame. How many lawsuits have their been over the fact that it's easy to have a name that's very similar to someone else's? How many times has Plurk been sued because you can make your display name be anything you like? How many times has *any* online service been sued because it made it too easy for one person to masquerade as someone else? What makes you think you have a better notion of the legal danger than the Lab's legal staff does? > People are stating loud and clear what they want. Careful inspection will reveal that not everyone is saying the same thing. > Are you guys deaf? No, they aren't. And this kind of insulting tagline just makes you look like a posturing child. fwiw... ___
