Brody, you've still failed to answer my questions, so I'll ask you once more. What are you trying to achieve? What benefit do you think there is in posting a promotion which contains nothing of substance?
As I've repeatedly said, you're free to post what you want, but the way you're going about it is both offensive to some, and useless to most, when it could be so much more. You've implied that you're trying to draw positive attention to the lower-ranked muds, so why simply ignore the suggestions without even gracing them with a response? Is it that your pride was hurt by the earlier, somewhat sarcastic comments that were made, and now you've stubbornly decided you're not willing to budge on this? If so, I'd suggest learning to develop a tougher skin if you ever plan to do any serious reviews. Perhaps it's that you simply don't care what other people think? If that's the case, I'd have to question the value of your contributions, considering they are targetted at other people. Or is it something else?
I think Brody's objective is a good one, but I think the way he's approaching it is poorly thought out, and offers practically nothing of value - while doing so in a way that myself and some others consider offensive. With a little more thought and consideration his idea could be so much more, and I just think it's a shame to see him waste that possibility by refusing to even recognise other peoples opinions. There is no envy involved - why would there be? I've always been an advocate for things that improve the mud community, and have made numerous contributions towards that end. However I certainly wouldn't want any of my own muds promoted like this, so in some way there is indeed the apprehension that I could be next on the "charity hit list".
