Insult flinging on either side does not really help keep pure the intentions of this discussion, which has become to advocate changing the listing system to show players using TMS what kind of MUD they are playing, economically-speaking.
While the word 'moron' is not good to use when trying to push for a positive change(I don't think it's a good way of handling things) neither is showing close-minded, conservative bigotry by calling people "communists." I've watched several people(including myself) be labelled as communists on this thread, and I think it's silly.
A) I am not a communist, though I am liberal and capitalistic.
B) Communism is not a source of evil, or something that should be used as an insult. MUDs are played internationally, and some countries who play our/your games may live in communist nations. Beyond that, some players may actually believe in communistic ideals, and I think it's openly bigotted to use their ideals in negative connotation.
Summary; let's stick to the issues. Sometimes heated words will get thrown around, but let's not allow this to be the focus.
Question; are there any non-IRE/Threshold players/admins in this discsussion who are against color-coding? If so, why? I already know why the others are.
