Don't you think that's a rather two-faced viewpoint? When Matt goes around insulting other people, you say "can you really blame him for it, after the way he's been treated here?", yet when those people give him the same back, it's "two wrongs don't make a right".
Matt deliberately trolled these forums and offended a lot of people, and it would be naive not to expect some of those people to hold a grudge. What goes around, comes around.
So, apparently, do quite a few of us. But that's what Matt appears to have done, and that's his right. However it's also our right to comment on it.
A team of developers creating a next generation mud with cutting-edge technology will not qualify for his forum, while the girl (or boy) who's been given an implementor position on her boyfriend's old stock Diku with a 50+ playerbase will. Which would you rather hold discussions with?
That is why I prefer MUD-DEV - everyone is welcome, and the signal/noise ratio is maintained through strict moderation. In fact, the Advanced Mud Concepts forum on here is handled exactly the same way.
