1) You don't have to name names to insult people. If I said "The majority of New Zealanders are unbalanced misanthropes.", New Zealanders reading my comment would (correctly) feel insulted.

2) I've very rarely edited or removed posts, in concordance with my discussions with the previous and current site administrators. All I did here is ask the person I'm seeing as the aggressor/escalator to tone it down some and stick to the topic.

If people causing arguments and flamewars on the forums are the problem, I think there's a more proximate cause than player reviewers.

TMS has a number of flame wars in the archives, but the vast majority of them have nothing to do with reviews, since reviews of a single MUD are generally of interest to people who play there, administrate there, or are interested in trying one out. Most of the 'hot' topics concerned broad issues, notably intellectual property, business models, advertising methods, etc.
