Oh dear, I really am turning into a curmudgeonly old git

Just flamed the Register.

Apparently BDSM in Second Life passes for IT news these days.

Yawn.

Wish I knew why I cared enough to write. It's somehow as if the fact that El Reg published the darn thing has tarnished the whole operation. It's kind of like the way a schoolfriend of mine discovered he was gay when he went to Uni and promptly became the most boring person on the face of the planet.

I expect he grew out of it. I wonder if The Register will.

Its part of their ongoing "what happens in Second Life" article series, and to be honest what mostly goes on in Second Life is geeky programming or sex. If you get over the subject matter and actually read the article its a rather interesting take on S&M from someone who isn't into that whole thing. Not your normal 'urk - wierdos!' thing at all.

Personally I think The Register is doing fine at the moment, SL is currently making a big whoo-haa about its world, The Register is reporting on it.

I thought it was all kind of dull and obvious myself. Horses for courses, I suppose.
