omg weak.

Yeah. It's hard not to talk about people's behavior when it personally, greatly distresses me. You might remember that I'm also not any kind of anti-commercial-MUD activist; rather, I started from a point of having some respect and admiration for people who were successful at creating commercial MUDs, and hoped to one day join their ranks. No bitterness like that of the disillusioned.

Oh, well. Arguments, you say? Very well. You're correct that we can't tell if a MUD whose policy is no-money-accepted might have players doing real-money trading on it. I find that this is acceptable and does not interfere with the utility of the multiple-choice models being described. Accurately describing official policy suffices.
