Worse - you insulted all players who write reviews. This thread is titled "Reasons to promote/discuss your MUD on TMS", and Lasher has said he'd like to see more players involved in these forums. You referred to players who write reviews as "unbalanced" "misanthropes" who write "complete garbage" to "spread their lies". You are insulting the very people we're talking about trying to attract.

Pointing out that such an attitute won't encourage players to get involved is not an insult, it's simply a statement of fact. As the owner of an LPmud, would you participate in a mud forum where LPmud owners were referred to by other posters as unbalanced misanthropes who write complete garbage?

If we want to attract more players, then the first step should be to try treating them with a little respect. No matter how many cool player-oriented features there are, you're not going to get many players hanging around if regular posters are calling them names and treating them like dirt.
