On his own blog, Chris Anderson has a fascinating response to this and this post: "Why I gave up on Second Life"; Chris e-mailed me a couple questions, which I reply to there. Between that and the post's extended reader commentary, it makes more a fascinating conversation-- read it all.

Fantastic, I love this kind of debate.
Although ultimately there is likely no right or wrong answer here.... just that one camp could stop trying to pull it down (and accept that this is a unique convergence of technologies trying to find its footing), and the other could acknowledge some of the flaws and their criticisms (present for exactly the same reason).
People will either like or not, depending upon what they look for. Personally speaking, once (if) Linden Lab iron out all the issues, and the interface is given that redesign - given that commercial touch; once the last of the vices have been outed and it's all squeaky clean / risk free; at that moment when 'popularity' strikes, I'm outta there....
