This whole thing was a tempest in a teapot. Those guidelines are standard issue corporate fare that you issue to your BUSINESS PARTNERS. That clarity should have been there at the beginning. No game company in their right mind will care if some fan site is not putting a (TM) after their effing name, least of all the Lindens.

Now if you had a domain name, that is another story, and you might be quite irate. Those people should've been compensated somehow.

You can never please everybody, but with a little forethought and sugar you can keep most people on board, instead of cause all this fear and doubt.

Silly hippies, PR is for real.
