In a nutshell - What is this about?

I created this blog for those who are interested on Internet Addiction and my request to Linden Lab to display a cautionary note mentioning Internet Addiction to the people signing in.

After all this time, this has become just a way to place this on the conversation. This is in a nutshell all I strive for.


Your liberty to read or leave its not denied on this space.


Virtual communities have enormous potential and will be part of many people's life's and work. So we need to take a thoughtful approach towards this. SL has an extraordinary pull and this phenomenon can result in dramatic damage to people who develop an addictive attachment to them.

  1. People joins in with no knowledge of this phenomenon
  2. Awareness of a danger helps reduce its potential harm
  3. Any tool to display this reality, might prevent those who read it

All ideas an opinions are welcome, posts with foul or offensive language might be deleted. Some information and videos might be disturbing for some people please be advised.

Has all this Crusade been fruitful?

Yes, I am a believer of the possibilities of Second Life (TM) specifically, so when I saw this GREAT issue needing to be addressed, I became determined to act on it.

This has given me the opportunity, to know the fabric, of the platform, who are its people? How do they react to initiatives? What are their true interests? Whats behind some of its "opinion leaders"? Whats the level of reaction of LL to hard to talk issues. I have learned a lot. I tried to act, started a group, opened an office, wrote people like PathFinder Linden! Have direct email exchanges with some of SL most polemic characters.

But most of all I have taken this topic of discussion, to many places. My goal of creating awareness, even that it has not been pretty, has been somewhat achieved, the message is out!
