I feel like I've been raped

Linden Labs gave me a 24 hour suspension for having an non pg profile.

I received this notice;

Shortly after, I received THIS notification:

Dear BilliJo Aldrin,

Greetings from Second Life. Occasionally, Linden Lab needs to determine the cause of bugs, simulator slowdowns, and various other occurrences that you may have experienced while in Second Life.

At this point we believe the issue you have reported is specific to your account. In order to continue to diagnose this bug for you, we will need to login to your account. Please do not attempt to login to Second Life on this account at this time. You are welcome to login to the web account, but logging in to Second Life -- via any viewer -- will impede our investigation.

Your account will be restored as soon as we resolve the specific issue, and we will notify you via email when that happens. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

Best Wishes,

Later I got THIS e-mail:

I need to make perfectly clear that I reported no bugs of any kind.

Obviously LL logged in on my account to remove the offending parts of my profile.

Ironically they could have taken over my account without notifying me, since I was under a 24 hour suspension anyway.

I feel like the sanctity of my very being has been violated because of this. 

As a result, I've come to the conclusion that I would be a fool to spend even one more penny on Second Life.
I'll be selling all my mainland property and returning my account to basic.

You have no rights in Second Life, you exist totally on the whim of Linden Lab.

I refuse to give them one more penny in support of their business. and will ride out second life as a free, no pay account until such time as Second Life fails and Linden Lab shuts it down.


---------------------------------------

I made the following post in the forums. I'm reproducing it here in case they delete the post, hell for that matter, they might delete my account.

Because of what happened to me today, a 24 hour suspension  for my inappropriate profile, and then to add insult to injury they had the nerve to e-mail me saying they are "taking over" my account for half an hour to fix a problem I reported (I didn't report any problems, I'm sure they took over my account just to purge my profile), I'm selling all my mainland holdings and reverting to basic. I love my Second Life, but i refuse to spend a penny more for a service that can be denied to me at any time for any reason. I'll continue logging in as a free basic account until such time as Second Life dies and Linden Lab folds.

-----------------------------------------------------

For posting on the forums about my 1 day ban, I received a 7 day forum ban. Needless to say,  this is the last straw for the forums.

---------------------------------------------------

p.s. I'm not reverting to basic and selling all my mainland holdings. That was spoken in the heat of the moment. What I did instead was make an alt premium so i don't need to pay tier for my club. Plus now I'll get $600 L per week for my two accounts.
