Why do the newspapers only report bad things about MUDs?
The newspapers only report bad things about *anything*, except in totalitarian countries. Articles about MUDders discussing tax legislation does not sell anywhere near as many newspapers as MUDder cross-dressing drug and murder rampages. If this isn’t immediately obvious to you, you really have to start reading the papers some time other than when your favorite MUD has made the front page of the Style section.
