Long winded one again :) RaR? What is going on? I just read a post on the NPIRL blog about multiple Rezzable sims closing; including the Gallery? This isn’t making any sense, and as a lover of your sims and content, I am shocked! Please reconsider your 'stuck' position, ones pride isn't the way. The way is to focus on your mission, and to step into a future that you often do. But, you seem to slowly lose the reflection back on how you got there. Granted, I might be speaking abstractly, but that’s really all one can do when in this place. There is no way you or anyone can convince others that our decision(s) are the absolute correct ones. In trying, it would come off as fanatical or egotistical. Point being is that it appears you are abandoning your own vision. Yet, you are unwilling to waver, as an example, to adjust your prices to fit the economy. You have now completely wiped out the Gallery!!? Some of your staff is obviously cow towing to your stance. Others are silent and probably hoping the best come from your decisions. You have an extremely talented group of individuals working for you. Don't lose them out of there own fears of retribution, there isn't time for that. You may want to seriously consider your past way of directing them. I've seen you step into an idea, I've seen you gracefully step out of the way for the idea to bare fruit and it has many times. This world, Second Life, is not so virtual that what's created isn’t 'real'. It's an experience, and probably more real than many things we see in RL. You seem to have an artistic mind, or desire to be one. I don't know you well enough. But, you most certainly are visionary. This is how I was in the past. SL has enabled me to express some of these visions, and over time I hope to improve on my techniques. Bottom line is artists are very egotistical and very often live inside a 'dark night'. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But, much eccentricity resides there, it’s the way. Some work it out, some don’t. I truly don’t have any clue what your real financial situation is. But, with what I’m perceiving it does seem pretty dire. I’m not going to ask you specifics, that’s not appropriate. But, it’s a very sad day, if what I read on NPIRL is true. Please tell me (us) that its not.
