    When I asked about this, the answer I got was along the lines of this...
 We do not feel that muds are a part of the educational environment
 that we wish to provide... muds tie up the lines, and if I dare say... most
 do not consider them educational. The person I talked to did not know if
 a few individuals did screw things up for everyone else, or how PSU feels
 about any sensitive material in the muds.. I do know that the d&d group
 here on campus uses the muds a lot..If you wish you can write to me and I
 will refer your letters to him...I have no authority to speak for PSU...
 nor do I know the entire story.

I can agree that a good share of stupid posts come from PSU..however,
as you know..stupid posts come from other places as well.. I think sometimes
people just want to start a flame war.  I personally use my account for
independent study, and creativity. I do not try to start flames or post silly
discussions...

It's too bad my fellow classmates do not use the gift they are given
seriously...You can clearly see posts that are flames or are just plain
silly...if you find this to be the case, then don't respond to them..
But don't just assume that PSU students abuse the net...
