The problem is that I don't accept the analogy.  I expect people to
not throw my furniture around the house.  However, they should (in my
opinion) be allowed to do so on a mud from an admin POV.  Actually
this personal relationship between players and the HOST, is something
I really dislike.  I view this as a better approach: the mud is the
home of the users, the admin is the (invisible!) janitor who keeps the
machinery running.
