1. I think its very unwise to lump everyone together into one pot even if they all share a common passion. There is every reason to believe there are wonderful, loving kitty cat people in ever corner of SL. The problem with addressing this to the community is that this "community" is not really a community. We have a very large number of people who find their own niche within the COMMUNITIES of kittyCats people. Each sim, each market, each auction is in itself a community. The greater conglomerate of people are people who share a common interest.
2. In any competitive market there will be overlaps of many different things. ie. In music, many bands with play at the same time in one city. There are many italian restaurants in my city open at the same hours. The idea of there never being an overlap in auctions is not reality. This is a market that is growing constantly. There will be in the next years more and more and more sims (we sincerely hope) and there will be many auctions and auctioneers coming and going during that time too. So to expect one week to accommodate every auctioneer and sim who are involved with KittyCats is kinda fruitless. Yes I agree with people being fair and respectful which brings me to my 3rd point.
3. There is no use discussing this in a forum. I propose that all auctioneers and sim/market owners have a meeting of the minds to see if we can resolve the current issue or at least come to an understanding or even an agreement to disagree...as adults with a common goal. There could be some give and take in all of this ...some agreement to chill and relax and let the market grow...some decision to limit or dole out auction times fairly...or simply to just try to get along and deal with the growth of the auctions and markets. But surely we could at least open a discussion.
4. Please remember there are people on the other end of avatars. Not everyone is going to agree or get along or have the same tastes or opinions. This is reality in RL as it is in SL. The one common goal or passion we share is that we love the KittyCats we breed and sell and collect and adore. The rest of it is hit or miss depending on who you are and who you meet. Most people have good minds and reasonable understanding of manners. We just need to exercise a measure of thoughtfulness when we deal with each of our communities AND the communities of others.
5. At the end of the day the only way around this issue of the auctions is to go through it, so again I suggest a meeting of the minds...the powers that be... the people who are at the core of the situation...market/sim owners and auctioneers....and lets not take it out on the entire group of kitty cats communities that we represent because we are hurt or angry or disappointed. There is a relatively small group of people who own markets and who run auctions for KittyCats so this doesn't seem too much to ask for. Perhaps there needs to be a committee?... but at least as I said an open discussion.
For us to move forward together we must at least find some common ground.
Thats my two cents.
