Jun 10th 2007 1:10PM LIBRE SECOND LIFE
We'd like to extend an invitation to all interested parties to join the group 'Libre Second Life' in an open, inclusive expression of solidarity supporting our creative liberties.
OUR GUIDING PRINICIPLES FOR A FREE SECOND LIFE
We pledge, in keeping with the original Community Standards, and in the spirit of free, creative expression on which Second Life was founded:
- We will stand up for the right of PEACEFUL, FREE expression. We will not Abuse Report anyone for actions that do not clearly involve harm to others, or do not interfere with the ability of others to use and enjoy Second Life.
- We will be TOLERANT of the lifestyles and activities of our fellow Second Life residents. We will grant them the same rights to continue existing and expressing themselves that we hope they would grant us.
- We will respect the PRIVACY of our fellow residents. We will not become a deputy of any amateur thought police. We will not spy on nor inform against others for what they do in private on private land. We recognise that not all residents have complete control over their own privacy, but we will respect their privacy nonetheless.
- We will not participate in any HARASSMENT of or ASSAULT on the private activities of others. We will not support the efforts of any moralistic mob to drive out our or persecute any group within Second Life.
In this we express our moral values and commit ourselves to DECENCY toward our fellow residents. We believe we are upholding the values Linden Lab set forth in their community standards over the past four years. We hope that Linden Lab will endeavor to continue these values as well, protecting ALL the communities of Second Life and the wonderful world we have created together.

...i've read this rumor in increasing circulation - do you have any substantiating evidence that this was the case?..the only credible public statement i've read on the matter indicates that linden lab initiated immediate irrevocable account termination, without prior warning, on the basis of private consensual ageplay, nothing more...
