This is easily fixed by adding a line explaining that payment
is accepted for non-in-game merchandise. Good point, though.


I'll be the first to admit that the proposed system has flaws. It
is imperfect, you betcha. But it's hella better than trusting
people's imaginations to correctly guess what "free mud" means.


This is no more correct than me suggesting "free mud" is lying.
The question is not which is telling the truth. The question is
which is less imprecise.


You still have the freedom to describe your mud however you
like, AFAIK. And the 4 choices are not vague. They were chosen
and generally ratified specifically for their approximation to precision.
As I've said, it's far more precise than "free".


If you think I'm some part of malevolent cabal trying to suppress
commercial muds, then you've just not been listening. This hobbyist v
professional thing was correctly judged as a distraction to the
specific question this thread is focused on. If you *really* care about
it, why not start a new thread for it?


I understand that you prefer to have maximum freedom
in how your mud is listed. I respect your desire to do so.

I just don't think it's necessary to demonize people who
disagree with you in the way you did in this post. It's
offensive and inexcusable. I can only hope you don't actually
think it advances your position.
