Veen,

I think that whether users can afford their internet
connections is beyond the control of mud admins. This is
why it might be reasonably considered to be out of the
scope of the debate about calling muds free or not.

I see there is a lot of anger where you're coming from, but
I don't know why, since this thread has been pretty civil
up til now. You asked a question, it was answered. Someone
disagreed with a detail in your statement. He called your
statement ridiculous, but this is not a flame, as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure your disability, if I understood you correctly
to have one, has any bearing on the topic itself, and to seems
to me to not have been brought up, except by you.

Life is definitely unfair. But I thought you were talking about
mud admins, not fate and destiny. Mud admins can control the
reality inside their game, but they're not responsible for
your situation, or paying for your internet access.

Ogma made a good, if undiplomatic, point about your apparent
position regarding free email denial during registration. I
happen to agree with him. I don't think that means I'm oppressing
you because of your life problems. It means I disagree with
what you said.
