		<description>*sobs* Prad, sometimes I &lt;b&gt;HAVE&lt;/b&gt; to write stuff about my chickens. I&#039;m not one of those &quot;Chicken Bloggers&quot; though. I did name a chicken after you. You can come over and swing the hatchet on her if it&#039;ll make you feel better.

A friend actually is donating part of his sim and an 1,875 prim allowance for me to create a monthlong love/hate artistic chicken installation. Like a maybe a chicken discotheque to celebrate them and a chicken dungeon in which to torture them. Or any other decent idea. And I&#039;m thinking a big damn flashing building shaped like a giant chicken head, to symbolize the eyesores that they are.

And I think you should totally build this artistic installation to work out your chicken rage. It would make SL poultry history, Prad! &lt;b&gt;DO IT DO IT DO IT!&lt;/b&gt; We could be partners in pissing off the chicken people. It would take the freebie heat off you for a while. (laughs)

I could only pay you in rare scarce eggs though. And flashes of my boobs.

&lt;b&gt;SO CALL ME!&lt;/b&gt; I&#039;m serious!

As to the other stuff, all I have to say is that the editor in me screams that &quot;subculture&quot; would have been a better word. That&#039;s why those damn Lindens need to hire me. I&#039;ve sent them my resume 9 billion times.

*flashes boobs and runs like hell*</description>

		<description>Labels hurt.   How would you feel if someone summed you up as a fluffy emo blogger always going on about his feelings and--   ohhh.ummm.  Never mind.    Don&#039;t go getting any ideas people.  That&#039;s my gig.

Try to avoid &quot;pillock&quot;  it just makes us yanks blue screen of death.    Let me Google...  OHHH....  Well done in it&#039;s 16th century form.   I didn&#039;t know you had it in you.

This is too dark btw.  I know I&#039;ve been a dick in the past about your thing, but you are at your best when you are you and this is not you.     It&#039;s a bad day and we all have them.</description>

		<description>YO, DUDE...

One.
Effing.
Word...

DITTO.

Spot-on. You&#039;ve seen my stuff in the old days. My blogging was all like this for the longest time.

Guess enough of the steam has been let out to ease the pressure. Doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t still feel the same way.

So, uh, yeah.
What you said.
All of it.</description>

		<description>The protest against Dusty is because she is being paid to do BL and also is connected directly to BurningMan, her RL husband is a founding member of BurningMan, Dusty assists BurningMan in RL so it&#039;s going against one of the the 10 principles of Burningman which is demodification.

Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

commercial sponsorships = Linden Labs who provide land and resources for BL and pay Dusty.

The 10 principles have also been adopted at BL - but seems Dusty is not including herself in them.

Dusty is paid by Linden lads to put on the virtual event of BurningLife - which is the virtual counterpart of BurningMan.

The event has been resident run for 6years so far, but Dusty it has been said has hijacked the event for her own agenda, pushing residents views and opinions aside. The residents are the backbone of all such community events and it&#039;s a shame that Dusty has been so apposed to resident views and idea&#039;s, which only serves to make the gap bigger between the community and the Lab.

Some have refused to work with Dusty again due to her lack of understanding and limitations in SL - so there is a protest against Dusty Linden and rightly so imho. Isn&#039;t her job to facilitate events and not run them with an iron rod and personal agenda?</description>

		<description>I had to laugh at the &quot;protest video&quot; .... I spent so much time counting all the spelling mistakes I pretty much lost track of what they were trying to say.  :)</description>
