Just because some of us take a strong stance does not mean we wish to injure an entire business model of MUD. As I've said before, I would never want any MUD to be shut down because of its business model, even if I didn't happen to agree with a "pay-for-perks system" for gameplay reasons. However, no MUD or admin should be able to use his commercial model as ammunition to gain favor over other MUDs that should be just as supported by our community as IRE.
Using money and threats as leverage to hurt non-commercial MUDs is just one more example of why many are vocal against Matt.
In this case - it would be a positive thing to add another choice in the listings(or a tag, or anything that helps further specify) for those seeking MUDs that would be "non-commercial". This is a resource site, and the argument goes back(again and again) to the fact that any such addition would only make the site more resourceful to players.
This is why so many players have asked for the addition from Synozeer. Matt is a sub-factor in all of this, not the reasoning for this idea's lobbying. He is merely an obstacle to it, for purely selfish reasons.
