<p>Please take a look at all of the awesome! comments Linden Research *customers* are making towards the Kingdon management (last 18 months):</p>

<p>Philip wasn't perfect, either. But Philip didn't make all those destructive, community-crushing and unwanted changes that Kingdon's team made. Philip's modest approach to Second Life brought substantial growth to the platform - something that Kingdon is beginning to erode with his "My way, *MY* way only" approach.</p>Hamlet Au commented on 'Second Life 2009 Recap: Numbers, Money, Policy, and Company Announcement Highlights'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef012876ade1c8970c2010-01-06T07:41:28Z2010-01-06T07:41:28ZHamlet AuHi Tinsel, I think I still have a copy of my Linden bear, IM me.

But you're right, I stopped being a Linden in 2006; what I meant was I'm the last person from the early SL era still involved on a regular basis. Philip is still Chairman, but he's just doing occasional blog posts and appearances from time to time. </p>Tinsel Silvera commented on 'Second Life 2009 Recap: Numbers, Money, Policy, and Company Announcement Highlights'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef012876adddae970c2010-01-06T07:33:16Z2010-01-06T07:33:16ZTinsel Silverahttp://www.tinselsilvera.comHey Hamlet.

I am curious as to why you would say that Philip has resigned when he is still Chairman, still coming in-world and still blogging about SL? I thought he was just no longer involved in the day-to-day operations. Also, I thought you stopped being a Linden back in 2006. If you still are, can I have a Bear for my collection? Thanks.</p>Hamlet Au commented on 'Second Life 2009 Recap: Numbers, Money, Policy, and Company Announcement Highlights'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0120a7a91e75970b2010-01-05T21:01:39Z2010-01-05T21:01:39ZHamlet AuAck, fixed.

<p>This type of statement is loco:</p>
<p>"Well, you missed the part where Linden Research *customers* are extremely unhappy at some of the destructive announcements/changes made since Philip stepped down (as CEO)".</p>
<p>Philip is still behind SL, he's now hiding behind M and the new management team. LL have never individually cared for you. It's a business. Get over yourselves. </p>
<p>Looking at this blog, it would seem it's heading in the right direction. It may not please the old users, who I know for a fact probably don't even have a premium account. They constantly gripe about how good it was way back when, how it should be all free love and burning man! </p>
<p>The truth: LL should have made these changes between 2003-2008. They would be in better position now if they did, it's catch up time.</p>

<p>Along with Kingdon censoring my comment on the Linden Blogs and firing off an "Congratulations! Your post has been digested and shredded by Linden Research!" e-mail at the same time.</p>
