Dawn of the Tals

I'm a bit tired of anyone who says anything positive about SL changes being called names - particularly the terms "fanbois", "elites", "chosen few" "linden buddies" etc etc.

I've never been a fan of name calling - but a recent blog post inspired me and so....

I have a new name for the people who refuse to accept that SL must keep changing... the "Tals"
