Matt and the staff of Medievia are seen by certain zealots on these forums as the ultimate evil, and no statement, fact or reasonable debate will sway them. I believe Donathin Frey's statement in which I alledgedly group myself with Matt and Medievia, was intended to shut me up, as apparently posters are expected to practice selfcensorship so not to upset the line of the zealots. Failure to do so, will bring your ethical world under scrutiny (or to quote Donathin, it "brings your own opinion and value-set into the line of ethical fire" if you defend, even from a legal standpoint something which differs from what the "text mmorpg-community" (as they see and define) find acceptable), and you will be called a liar by a TMS moderator.
Really, all these guys would need is a godhatesmedievia.com domain, and they'd be just like Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist church - equally sticking their noses where it doesn't belong, and enforcing their views as the ultimate truth on everybody else. Copyrights, ethics and legalities aside, it's amazing that the same individuals are allowed to wage a crusade year after year in a public forum such as this, turning the community ever more bitter while driving away anybody who doesn't feel the same way these individuals do.
