That seems reasonable IMO, although I would suggest replacing the "pay for perks that you can obtain for free anyway" with a more explicit "pay for perks that can also be obtained through normal gameplay". This is because I've seen at least one mud which offered huge in-game advantages for sale (advantages without which you couldn't legitimately compete) - but also allowed people to earn those same rewards by performing other services (like writing articles for them, etc).
Therefore I'd see three categories:
1) Money makes no difference.
2) Money can replace gameplay in some instances.
3) Money can give you things gameplay cannot.
I suppose there could even be another category, whereby money can buy status symbols which don't really directly affect gameplay (fancy titles, named equipment, etc). But for me the important thing to know is "can other players buy what I have to work for", and even more importantly "can they buy things that I can't earn even through play".
Regarding the claims that I attack you whenever possible, I really don't think you're in any position to start pointing fingers. Indeed, I can't think of anyone on these forums who's provoked or insulted as many people as you have over the last couple of years, and indeed I consider you one of the main reasons for the decline of the quality of posts (a decline which even started to right itself when you stopped posting for a while, but which seems to have continued again now).
