Back to Blogging

I've decided to start blogging again about my second life experiences. I stopped back in August and deleted the blog because of a controversy over an avatar I created; that avatar was banned for being underage, which of course he wasn't. But the lab's policy of strike first and ask questions later was invoked against the avatar. Now the Linden's in San Francisco have a copy of my driver's license and birth certificate. My question now is, how do they store it? Can I trust everyone who works there to not steal my identity? Of course there is no answer to the first question, they simply will not say. The second question; well I guess we all are at risk, those of us who have provided documentation. By the way, I am sure we are a minority. I am convinced most avatars are age verified through the voluntary system, in which one provides numbers that supposedly are matched through data bases. Yeah right. I am one of the few avatars who are verified through the INVOLUNTARY system of providing documentation. Provide the documentation or else lose your land, your account, your lindens, everything.
Many more avatars are not verified at all, and many of them just go around the grid creating havok.
I am a 2 1/2 tier customer, who has a reputable in world rental business. This is how we are treated. When this was going on back in August, I im'd a avatar who I had met along the way, he seems to know about these things, and the response back from this avatar was that there is simply no other way to speak to the Linden's over a banning, but to submit a ticket. Which I did immediately.
Well at least when you meet me inworld you can be sure I am a proper age verified and gender verified avatar with Linden Lab.
