Re: The Cold Hard Facts

Ahh, if only it were that simple I doubt there'd be any argument.

Which facts, exactly? Nobody is proposing to include all of the facts about a MUD or, more specifically, about the manner in which a MUD takes money.

I brought up an example earlier in which one could categorize every country into those that:
1. Allow their citizens to vote.
2. Don't allow their citizens to vote.

Are these "the facts"? Is the relevant reality from the perspective of the user-citizen contained within those choices? Certainly not, regardless of the fact that all countries can be categorized in one of those two categories.

(Country A might only define white males as a citizen but allow them to vote. Country B might grant all adults residing in the country the right to vote but only provide a single candidate to vote for, etc. )
