Responsiblity

Darlings, it is time to take a serious look at a worrying trend going on in Second Life this last month. Recently, a blogger who claims not to be on the feed, made a blog that in itself was not accusatory. However, in the subsequent comments the blogger accused several hair shops of copying the styles from ETD. One of the designers fought back today and we at Go Fug YourSL support his position fully.

Accusing designers of theft is a very serious issue that can have a lasting effect on their business and their livelihood. The accuser should take the time to investigate in totality the basis of their accusations before running off at the fingers.

This brings me to my next example of this frightening trend for designers. A new designer, about to dabble in hair, sent out a group notice that an established hair designer copied her style before she could release it based on a preview. A quick question to the accused designer would have solved this instantly. When did you make this style? Sweeties, I went to the Second Style archives and found a blog showing the style on July 18,2007. Clearly, the accused must have psychic abilities to copy a style 7 months earlier. I know, Darlings, not everyone would think to use a blog archive so I doubled my efforts and did a search at Yahoo and come up with a blog from Shopping Cart Disco on July 9,2007. If the new designer had taken a fraction of a minute to do research before sending out her notice she would have realized her error. Sweeties, the horror of this situation is this notice will be in the group notices for 30 days making this wrongful accusation 30 days too long.

We support Aden Breyer, Truth Hawks and any other designers wrongly accused.

The Fug of this blog: All of those individuals who run off at their fingers and wrongly accuse people of theft.
