An apology
Dear Linden Lab,
I apologise unreservedly for getting the wrong end of the stick regarding the aims and motivations of the Second Life Brand Center (even though it pains me not to type centre ).
There is no evil plot, there is no wish to silence the minions. This is standard practice for business partnerships the world over and I should know because I see brand partnerships every day of the week whilst at work.
Yours eating humble pie,
Ciaran Laval.
