GenmaC, it sounds to me that you want to trash someone's mud but you don't want the owner or anyone who disagrees with you to be able to counter your points.

Oftentimes (in fact, more often than not), people who take the time to post a negative review have some kind of personal issue/bone to pick with the mud or its owner.

Think about it... How little of a life do you have to have to spend your free time posting negative things about some game you didn't pay a penny to play.

The normal, mature thing to do if you find a game online you don't enjoy is to simply stop playing it. It takes a real piece of work to feel the urge to bash on someone's hard work that you enjoyed for FREE!

Most "reviews" of this type are mean spirited and designed with no purpose other than to defame the mud/mud owner. They are generally FILLED with inaccuracies that really should have the light of truth shined upon them.

Perhaps your review was not one of these kinds. Perhaps your negative review was 100% honest. Perhaps you actually posted it out of some kind of "civic duty" you felt to other mud players in the community to help them avoid a "bad seed" (the odds of this are, imho, very small). Even if all of these things are true, and your negative review had only the purest, most benevolent purpose and motive, the owner and players of the mud are *STILL* acting completely appropriately by responding to things they feel are wrong, inaccurate, misleading, etc. in the negative review.
