From my current point of view, the MudCat is like a fly-strip hanging from the ceiling of cyber-space.
The dead flies are annoying and "un-esthetic" (not to mention un-anit-septic) but the MudCat is performing a valuable "service" to the "cyber-community."
You will notice:
MudCat has few "links" pointing to other sites.
Several - viable - legitimate sites point to MudCat
Trolls congregate within MC because it is downhill from the flush of other sites.
This is good. The best rubarb patch I ever saw .... was in Maine.... and it grew over the cess-pool.
Sincerely,
Gargoyle
