blogs.secondlife.com and it's various other redirects into it (including (blog.secondlife....) seem to now illogically try to force https when viewing which is unecessary and for those of us who can't always use port 443 (https) but can always reach port 80 (http) it makes the blog unuseable during that time.
Sorry for using yelling caps here but this should get the message across THERE IS NO REASON TO USE HTTPS TO READ A PUBLIC BLOG. For logging in, that should definitely be https, for after logging in for comment forms, if your making public comments anyway it's a bit paranoid but that's still somewhat logical but it's idiotic to have https just to read a public blog.
Reasoning for why it's a bug and why it's critical
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug - it falls into one of those weird bugs that aren't software bugs bug are logic bugs loopholes. It is definitely illogical and a bug.
Critical - The only reason it isn't showstopper is because I try to at least minimize my hypocrisy, this really should be showstopper since it is almost on par with stopping access to SL since it's the primary vehicle for policy announcements but it would be incredible hypocritical for me to mark it as such. If someone else wants to change it feel free though.
