The author in this chapter dealves into the way in which SL has a tight knit community. The author asked many of the users of the theory of the virtual world. Is it a virtual world with only one user. Many of the personas expressed there must be many residents to a virtual world. I do not agree with this because this because it is a obviously a world to that one person which holds many contradictions to what people use this platform for. You can argue with the way that these people answered that they use this as more of a social networking than actually building a second life. He also writes of groups and the ways in which hold truths outside of SL and how serious these groups hold themselves. Then he speaks of kindness and how it is generated in the virtual world. In my own experience i have not experienced many kind people associated to me. I have been persecuted in the SL without anybody asking me questions.
