Yes, RightAsRain, when you begin your discussion characterizing people in SL as "land speculators" and (and you are...what? a content speculator?) and claiming that there's something wrong with land development or even land flipping, yes, you'll find that because *you* have made it personal and *you* have expressed hatred of a class of people, you will get a pushback. If that then feels to you like "diatribes," then...good. Don't be surprised and start issuing homilies to others. Consider readjusting your attitude about land in SL.
