Breaking a habit: No more RL for me

I've been thinking about it for years. The whole RL (Real Life) thing is blitheringly daft. Your life is your life whether your computer is switched on or not. You don't suddenly tell someone that you're on the phone with ("Telephone Life"? No way!) that you've got to go do something in Real Life. Well, except by force of habit.

Well, this is a habit I'm going to try to break. Being online is my job, and a large part of my play. It's where I earn my living. I pay my bills online. I prepare and pay my taxes online.

No more RL for me. Just AFK. AFK is the part of my life when I'm not at the keyboard (and coincidentally, not actually earning money or working at my jobs), but AFK makes more sense overall.

Land of the weak, home of the broken

Ari Blackthorne carries a post by a commentator called Charles, titled Second Life: Land of the WEAK home of the BROKEN. Now, Ari doesn't necessarily agree with all of it, and I must admit that there's very little in it that resembles anything that I experience in Second Life myself.

For those of you who also spend substantial lengths of time in SL, does any of it ring true for you?
