Things that are going on in the world today are causing division between friends and family, so there is no surprise that it is happening here in Opensim as well.
We can't always agree on everything in life and so I make no apology for standing for what i believe in. If that offends you even to the point that our friendships break over such things, so be it. There is nothing worse than lying to yourself to please others. If those friendships cannot stand a few disagreements every now and then, then they not really your friends in the first place and do not mourn their loss.
