> "Weakly correlated". One of the great mantras of the scientific method is "correlation does not imply causation". Of course you aren't going to learn morality playing CF. Good thing I never claimed that. Whew. I might point out here, scientist, that you provide no empirical evidence, nor have any possible access to evidence, to support your "correlation." Somehow I doubt you've taken a group of mudders into your lab and systematically manipulated their "morality" or lack thereof. You think more "bad" people cheat on CF than "good" people simply because *you* don't cheat and *you* must be a good person. Right? But actually.. that had nothing to do with my post anyway. I was trying to draw your attention to the fact that you responded with undue vigor, addressing a point not actually made by the person to whom you responded. An inquisitive soul might wonder why. A cynical one might suggest self-promotion. And, yes. I don't engage in permagrouping myself, but not out of gratitude to the Immortals. Then again, now that I think about it, I'm not an especially moral person so perhaps that's why.
