Virtual Disputes going on SL Between Korean and Japanese

It's been a several years, since there was the serious dipute of a small islet's territory between Korea and Japan.
When Japan decided to describe Dokdo ( they call it as Takesima) as their own soverignty, this issue started to fully accelerated.
Even the Korean President Lee Myung-bak on Wednesday (July 9) seriously urged Japan not to describe Korea's easternmost island of Dokdo as part of Japanese territory in Japanese textbooks, during his meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on the sidelines of the Group of Eight summit.


Then you know what happened in SL related those diputes??


I'm not so sure, unfortunately,
But i saw the wierd article from RL that saying,

( the Bus invaded in Dokdo islands in SL )

one of the black bus was arrived on one islands named dokdo in Second Life( it's been presented in there about one and a half year. ) then started to do wave Japanese's flag and diturbed the residents in there.
Actually, I guess that SL Korean user is wasn't even reach to 30k before this issue conflicted on SL
After the owner of the Dokdo islands had publicly banned the users who invaded and made some problems, he snaped into a drive to raise funds for protecting islands, Dokdo then successfully made about US$ 4500...

( SeraKorea is doing camp events on the pretext of emerging diputes on Dokdo territory )
Therefore, People started to realize that Second Life could be a possible disputy stage for international attentions. Many Korean real media began to refer the SL that cyber disputes is going on virtually. And about 100k (may be.. i heard that SL newbie increased for ten times than before so that i estimate it.) were joined in SL to participate in the name of Guards of Virtual Dokdo.


That's why SeraKorea which is one of provider for Korean SL user had Dokdo presence on SL.

Still alot things is going on there between users from Korea and Japan.

( Recently visited Japanese user on Dokdo )

Truth be told that I also am one of Korean guy, I hope so that the Dokdo islets be clearly defined as Korean territory.
Not that kind of serious conflicts, just want to make reasonable discussions over the territory with Japans' stance.
