My general attitude on that situation is similar. I want to run a mud *I*
would enjoy playing. I don't enjoy RP or pkill muds, so I'm not going to
run one.
(although some "limited" form of pkill can be fun)
When people suggest thing's to me I tell them I'll consider it, and if I
don't like it I don't give it another thought, and most of the time I don't
get bad reactions when they ask if I decided to use their idea and I say no....
