Ok, What could a single person do that would warrant a ban. I've =
read the many things this particular person has done via his TFC memoirs =
or whatever you might call them. It seems this person spends a bit too =
much time online and may take your worlds far to seriously. Since this =
person lives in your world they try to impose changes as they would in =
the real world. They want to make the world you offer them more =
realistic and fair.
So if this person is doing nothing more than speaking his mind then =
maybe your MUD, your programming, or your mind is not ready to accept =
the idea that many people regard your MUD as their world now and not as =
an escape or past time. Just as AD&D became lifestyle for many people, =
I've seen chatters engross some college students completely. The =
banning or kicking of their account sends them into utter depression.
