Interestin points and yeah we are on different understandings of the value of the Lindens to manager, er...anything. I actually had tons more respect for their eccentric machinations when they were on a path of chaos theory. Maximum disorder seems to lead to brave and wonderful new communities and clusters of common interests. I think this was by far the best influence from Phil and Mitch. The Lindens are unable/unwilling to manage anything inworld more than their own land holdings. Today they are some type of soul-less corporation trying to expand itself only for money. Hey, that isn't unusual, it is just different from the ambitions that they started with--making a new world of some digital dimension. OpenSim is very liberating because you can make your own grid your own way. You can now frame your own community and not have some corporate weenies spew about their own objectives that don't add enough to a meaningful vision of the metaverse.
You are totally right that about freedom--it has risks. But you can always switch off your computer and pull out the internet line. I prefer to consider the rewards of the metaverse and so we plow on. (check my blah blah blah about our almost 3 years in SL)
