Power. How many of us equate its meaning to be possession of control and
influence over others? Derived from the French poeir, it translates to TO
BE ABLE.
AW is a rich community of people that possess the power to create, to make
virtual places of beauty and interest to share with others. They have the
power to bring people together in friendship.
Several such highly creative and "powerful" people have clashed in part over
an avatar I had created for exclusive use in y2000. In mid march I
discovered a retextured copy in BluPearl. I want it understood that I spoke
with One Summer and it was quickly removed from the path when she learned of
its origin. The matter was dropped and I had hoped that was the end.
Now the issue has resurfaced and is causing division in this community to
the point of acts of vandalism and harassment to both "sides". As the
avatar's creator I have not been exempt.
Anubis WAS removed from BluPearl to my satisfaction as sole owner to all
rights of the work. Signs HAVE been removed from y2000.
It is my deepest hope that everyone that has been swept up by this will be
emPOWERed to forgive and to return to creating a better community. Use your
power for the positive.

When things happen like this and then is resolved...my favorite saying
is...."It never happened":)
Very well put Lady Murasaki:)
