I understand that I am new at all this stuff but I have to say something here.
Why is this group called rec.games.mud?
Please no one take offense at this, but shouldn't this group contain more
information on running, building on, handling out of control players, and so on
on muds? Because I have noticed that there is quite a bit of criticism and      what I believe to be needless banter on this group. I will state where I am   
coming from.

1) I do not care if bruce ever plays on FurryMuck or any other mud for that     matter. I believe that It should be between him and the mud gods. Please 
leave the rest of us unenterested people out of your indentity crisis and your
acciedents. We are all imperfect so it is no news to any of us. So stick to the
topic. (Go over to alt.mud to whine there is nothing going on there unfortunatlyenough)

2) Why do we all have to take out our bad days and personal hang ups on people
who are just trying to post information and misspell a word. Is this something
important to all the people out there in mud land??? Come on can't you lighten
up a bit???

3) Why does this thing about a Christian mud have to be drug out and beat to 
death by those who hate the idea of it??? Maybe you could send e-mail to the 
author he might care that you don't like his ideas. I sure don't care to read
a bunch of posts about you flaming him for suggesting it. Can you let it lye?

4) Just a quick note about going off on a tangent, that is why we have e-mail
accounts.

5) I thought that this was a newsgroup that contained information about muds
and stuff related to mudding. There is hardly ever any information on here
anymore and any question that is posted here that is worded wrong is flamed
to the point of stupidity. I meen this is getting old. I come on here to find
out about new muds coming up and maybe some tips or hints(not dead give aways)
on playing and or being an god or just building. remember there are newbies
around ever corner hungering for knowledge and thristing for glory. Do you 
want them to think that this is the basis of mudding? Petiness? Sillieness?
(well okay I admit I like sillieness) But do you get my point?

6) One last thing. There is much talk about spliting the newsgroups up. Why?
There is rarely ever any news on here mostly flames! I believe that maybe 
there should be a cleaning of house done on the existing group then decide
if there should be a seperation. I meen think about it take away the bruce crap
the flames and the split dicussion and there is very little left. I must admit
what was left was quite interesting and helpful and I am greatful for all of theadvice and help I have recieved from many of you. I wish that there would be  
more questions and answers and informative stuff on here. It is good to hear 
about rumors that sejnet may come back(It kicked my ass but I loved it!). I 
am sorry for those of you out there that I have offended. I only posted this
in the hope that it might better our beloved newsgroup. These are my feelings
and mine alone. I will blame no one when the flames start to role in. I did
not post this here by accident. And yes I did misspell many words in here!!!
So sue me!!!

LET THE FLAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wert                         

P.S. In keeping with the policy I have stated above please send all flames to
dayo@matt.ksu.ksu.edu thanks!!!!
