Re: In defense of all MUDs. Our genre's noteworthiness is being questioned.
No worries. I think you put up some very legitimate arguments, and it's interesting. I had to step away from the computer for a while to tend to some stuff, but I did found myself eager to come read more discussions on this.
While I agree with you that science and entertainment are very different, the arguments presented should someone decide to attack a science article could very much be the same. There are plenty of things that I think are objectively notable that wouldn't survive the test that was put on Threshold regardless of whether or not Threshold is objectively notable.
I just read an article on the video game perception in the media within the last two weeks. One of the main points is that it doesn't receive the coverage it should based on how many people are involved. I'll try to dig it up again for you to read as well.
