There are few people in SL with a higher credibility or reputation for integrity than Carl Metropolitan, who was essentially forced out of his leadership role at NCI because of his determination that WU constituted a destructive griefer group, and posed a threat to the values represented by NCI. Immy’s role in that coup d’etat was central. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t send noobs to NCI, despite the excellent services that organization continues to provide. I don’t trust that WU members don’t use their mentoring roles there as a recruitment tool.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You couldn’t be more wrong on all levels. (=_=)<\/p>\n For one; one person making one unilateral decision amidst a group that disagrees with him\/her is bound to face problems in the group. Such is what happened. I had nothing to do with it. You over value me. The NCI staff, volunteers, and board of directors disagreed with Carl and answered him with their feet. After, in his own words, “All the good people left” he resigned as well. Knowing the group can go on with the existing staff and the existing rule set, the community gathered back together and rebuilt the necessary organizational roles to achieve the one absolute goal the group has.<\/p>\n “coup d’etat”, “recruitment”, I’ve even heard “influence” and “power” from others. What the hell is wrong with you people? What part of “VOLUNTEER HELPER” don’t you understand? This is a position of service, courtesy, humility, and support. Not a FSKing power pillar of grandiose authority. Quit treating assisting people like it’s some political power play. It sickens me to see the two mixed.<\/p>\n It sickens me even more that you can make such a statement as: “It’s one of the reasons why I won’t send noobs to NCI, despite the excellent services that organization continues to provide.”… FSKing what!? You won’t send people to a place that offers “excellent services” because of your personal bias in regards to an imaginary power play? Sick. Seriously sick. Such a thinking process is so insane and twisted, I have no clue how to begin to comprehend where you’re coming from.<\/p>\n Your paranoia is getting the better of you.<\/p>\n Let’s get back to this “recruiting” subject. I honestly NEVER understood it. I’ve heard many people say it. I need to know. What does Woodbury do that “recruitment” is necessary? How would you prove that this recruitment is happening? How can I prove that it’s not happening? Really… using the term “recruitment” in relation to Woodbury and NCI is like comparing apples to a cement mixer. They’re so extremely unrelated that I don’t even know where you’re coming from. What’s the term? “Coming out of left field”… I’d argue that you’re in the freaking parking lot beyond left field in this “recruitment” argument.<\/p>\n I mean… In volunteering to help, you and I have the same common goal. Get people adjusted beyond the learning curve of the world and client and set them loose to find what they can enjoy in Second Life. Can you cut the crap for a split second and realize that? Can you shut the hell up about this fantasy power play, coup d’etat, influence pillar, threat, credibility, and reputation bull and offer the resources that will help?<\/p>\n Or, does that all go back burner for the he-said she-said bullshite that’s been going on between the oldbies for years?<\/p>\n It don’t for me.<\/p>\n Tonight, while someone is obsessing about how I’m FSKing up the grid for them and recruiting newbits for hell knows what, I’m going to do something. I’m going to teach my Flexi & Light class. I’m going to do a damned good job at it. And no reputation, credibility, influence, power, or whatever BS word you want to apply to the task is going to make a difference.<\/p>\n You, my dear, are insane.<\/p>\n As much as I like you, I find you’re quite delusional and too easily distracted by an artificial notion of credibility.<\/p>\n And, this goes to anyone.<\/p>\n Tell me, when did you see me grief?<\/p>\n Tell me, when did you see me “recruit”?<\/p>\n Tell me, when did you see me force anything?<\/p>\n Tell me, who finds fault in me and do they commonly find fault in people they simply dislike?<\/p>\n Tell me.<\/p>\n Answer my questions or put the he-said she-said bullshit away and do something that actually benefits the community… Like I do. And I FSKing love it.<\/p>\n You’re only hurting yourself and the people you “help” by steering them away from what you have publically described as “excellent services that organization continues to provide”. In that vain, while NCI and I are providing excellent services, you and your he-said she-said bullshit provide merely disservice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SRS Immy is bloody SRS… (=_=) Courtesy of the LL Blogorum… Duplicated here in case it’s deleted. http:\/\/blogs.secondlife.com\/message\/560582#560582 Scylla Rhiadra wrote: ETA: The “trouble” at NCI should serve as an instructive lesson.
