Reading this entry helped a bit and to all of its content, I agree. I especially like the quote about second life being both "real" and...not. I think we're too quick to dismiss this "game" as something completely alternate to reality, but also too quick to take it seriously. I keep thinking to myself, what is its actual value?? <BR/><BR/> What concerns me most about this article, though, was not putting enough of the responsibility on he who would actually commit such a violent, sexual act. Online or not, real or not, it's sick...disturbing. Does it change the values and the dangers of Second Life? Does it change what users should expect?JMMyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321357663824688856noreply@blogger.com
