I also want a "Has glaives" or "doesn't have glaives" option since that's what I care about, not whether it charges money or not. One thing is important to you. Another is important to me.
I don't care if people get insulted by my opinions. I don't care if they get provoked by things I do. That's their problem, not mine. What I do try to do is avoid flaming or attacking people who don't do it to me first, and I think you'll find virtually no examples of me doing that. There may be one or two (who knows, it's been a couple years), but I'm fairly scrupulous about attacking only individuals who attack me or our company first.
Take Molly O'Hara for instance. She apparently hates me because I pointed out that builders are not valued the same as coders. Controversial? Shouldn't be. Professional developers certainly disagree as is made clearly evident by games industry salary surveys. Fine, she's insulted. Tough, it's true.
I just don't care if people get provoked or insulted by statements like that. I don't care if people get provoked or insulted by pointing out the obvious, such as the fact that there are no muds where SOME amount of money (make it a trillion if you want. Just hypothetical) wouldn't buy somebody SOMETHING. Any mud admin claiming otherwise is either Bill Gate's heir or lying to us or himself/herself.
So yes, I will definitely accept that I'm controversial and people get provoked by the things I do or say, but as I've said before, that's their problem and individuals do not get attacked by me anyway until they attack me first.
I mean, seriously, if you want to talk about quality of discussion, go back and read Molly's ridiculous post. Or how about the 10 page thread in which people argued about Kimberly's psychotic ranting. I'd suggest blaming them for the garbage posts, not me, as they're the ones that posted them.
In any case, this is one thread I'm done with. We're free and have no reason to stop advertising our muds as such. Jazuela's post really said it all.
