That type of inanity was pretty much what killed the discussion.

Everyone who knows anything about game design, has thought about this issue for more than 5 seconds, and doesn't want to simply be a contrarian understands why so many games ban botting. They also understand why some games allow it, and why the people who play those games enjoy them. It really isn't a complicated or difficult issue to understand.

The absurdity of the argument that banning bots is universally "wrong" is reduced to such absurd measures as comparing bot banning to creating anti-homosexual muds or muds that ban people because of their race. There really isn't much else when trying to defend an indefensible position.
