Actually, I wasn't calling you a hypocrite. I have not once made this a personal attack. In fact, I've stated quite clearly that it is your right, and every other MUD admin's right, to have a policy forbidding rape. More power to you.
I have not once tried to belittle you. I have treated your arguments with the sensitivity and reasonability required in this kind of civil discourse.
I wasn't attempting to condescend by making the comparisons to parenting or psychotherapy. Your problem, in this case, appears to be that you think I wrote this just for you. I didn't. I wrote it for MUD admins at large who might share your opinion, which is an absolutely valid opinion.
If I didn't think your opinion was valid, or that it mattered, I wouldn't bother responding.
Sorry if you took my comments as a personal attack. I'll happily let the matter drop, but I actually found the original conversation rather constructive - even if we didn't totally agree, we weren't that far apart. That was the point I was trying to make. We merely differed in degree.
