"No, I will not make your flag, but I will teach you to make your own."

Yay!! Way to go, Eshi!

Ahlan wasahlan ya alsarmady!

That was a wonderful article, Hamlet. If Professor Alsarmady is reading, welcome back to SL.

"I brought the art to him, so to speak-- namely, Bettina Tizzy, Dusan Writer, and Eshi Otawara, who write about or express ideas similar to his."

Yay! Great job, Hamlet.

"No, I will not make your flag, but I will teach you to make your own."

Now THAT is American.

CyFishy Traveler

Marvelous. Makes me proud to be in this world.

Bettina Tizzy

There have been some unforgetable moments in my Second Life, and this was certainly one of them. I was especially touched by YOUR excitement and enthusiasm at sharing Second Life with Professor Eel, Hamlet. It was contagious.

I don't play Second Life, but I do play DDO and getting to know others around the world has been particularly enriching. This is a wonderful story! Thanx for sharing it.

Faerie

This is such an uplifting story on so many levels.

This story is such a wonderful antidote to the frequent 'bashing' SL receives from all directions. SL is such an engaging way to bring souls and minds together, whom otherwise might never have had an opportunity to meet. Here's to hoping that some day SL, and/or other virtual worlds to follow, may be sufficiently ubiquitous that stories like this one will be unremarkable. Considering the situation in his location, this is terrific.

Great story.

Nightbird Glineux

Hmm. For Alsarmady to consider SL as an "8th Art," would that mean that there is a canonical list of seven arts? Does he mean this:

Hamlet Au

Yeah, I believe so.
