Yes I do. I remember when I first learned about the Lego community on
the Inet. I remember that I wanted so bad to be able contribute
something. I wanted to be something really great, do great things,
help out. So I came up with all these ideas that I wanted to do. And
I jumped right into RTL and proposed my ideas. I got no enthusiasm,
the entire reaction I got was, well, we already have some resources
like these, and we don't need you, or anything you can contribute.
That made me very angry and that is the reason I flamed at that
particular point in time. I wanted something so badly that I was
willing to try and do the impossible, instead all a got were people
laughing in my face telling me I was nothing. Like someone mentioned
earlier, it was that elitist attitude that caused me to fight back the
way I did. And for that I am not sorry, I was hurt then in a way that
has stayed with me and affected me ever since. It took me a long time
to generate enough self esteem to put together my own web page and
realize that I was important, that I could contribute something, even
if some people didn't respect it.
