If I recall, the purpose of the so-called 'MDP' was to actually protect HRE (and annoy India & Mali), and not Rome.
In my opinion, HRE didn't really help Whosit much partly because they overestimated Whosit's ability to defend successfully. That, I think was their biggest mistake that they realised far too late.
I think they shoud've been more transparent about things, and Whosit failed to show Nakor/DMOC just how desperate the situation was for Rome (Perhaps Whosit did did not realise it at the time, though).
As for Sullla's behaviour, I can't say i'm upset it; I think his quirk that he treats other people as if they're AIs to be part of his charm. I get the feeling he's deliberately doing this for us lurkers.
Regardless, I think we probably should leave it to the other players judge once the game is over, as they are the true 'victims' of Sullla's comments.
Maybe in future games, players should state 'do as you please', or 'please don't be too harsh' in the planning thread before the game starts. But again, the other players' opinions on this post-game would need to be seen - for all we may know, they may not actually mind (I somewhat doubt that, though)...
