You got paid to write that, which is fantastic. Jenred didn't. The columns that are contributed to Top MUD Sites are done for free by the authors in exchange for the attention and small perks that come with it.
That said: I agree with logos and KaVir about how the column could be perceived, but I disagree that Jenred needs to turn his worldview upside down to make non-RPers happy. When George Will writes about issues, he doesn't color it to keep liberals happy. There's a significant difference between a straight news article and an opinion column. Jenred's is pretty clearly an opinion, and it's his to make and support.
But, because it is an opinion, it is absolutely open to challenge and debate - so I don't think pointing out these things, as logos and KaVir have done, is wrong. It goes with the territory, and is the other side of the coin for writing any sort of public missive.
