But I'm also saying that Second Life IS all about sex. Why? Because sex, lust, etc, is a dominant human motivational force.
I suppose my issue is that people somehow claim this is a bad thing instead of noticing that it is the very reason they are all here to complain about it.

Actually, the BBC overall do a pretty good job on reporting Second Life, they've reported on the economy, education and a whole raft of things. Wonderland, the series of which this programme was part, is looking, quite specifically at people who do things that might be considered odd. Even for SL residents breaking up RL marriages or pushing them right to the edge is a bit odd, for the rest of the world, doing it for a virtual image - sounds bizarre.
As is so often the case with the better stories there isn't really any judgement of the people involved, just "This is their story, decide for yourself." I suspect that's very important for some of the others, they've done the life of a schizophrenic for example, which would be rather crass to be judging in commentary.
