I don’t care who your target audience is. Given the lack of sale of your last
auction I’d say your target audience is zero which is exactly how much you
should have posted in .build.mecha. Regardless of whether or not I think it will
sell though, you have every right to post in the correct forums and I would
defend that right if it was challenged. You do not have that right to post in
.build.mecha.

All replies, if any should be posted to the market place group.
Instead of picking a nit with me, how about just wishing me luck.

How about you show some respect for other people rather than hiding behind you
bulls**t. If you want people to treat you with respect then show some respect
for them by obeying the rules of the site.

(what I don’t understand is when a person has an item of interest to a
particular group, why can’t they include the group in question. Continuing to
flood the group with the related posts would be wrong, setting a follow up so
as to stick to the topic, the sale is the proper course of action.)
|
Your opinion of the TOS doesn’t matter. What it says does. This has been pointed
out to you before.

Tell you what, until someone helps to maintain an air of civility around here,
I’ll continue to post sales informational ONLY cross posts to this group,
until I sell every f’n peice of my Lego. Cause I really want out.

When you learn to be civil, then you can lecture others. Until then you have no
voice to speak with. I was civil, I posted politely and I posted respectfully
which was more than I thought you deserved but I was brought up that way. I see
from you response that I was wrong to treat you with dignity.

I haven’t posted that much in the last 10 years on LUGNET, but when I do it’s
for a good cause.
This should be a public community which fosters positive LEGO-related
experiences, just as it was intentded by Todd Lehman, and Suzanne Rich-Green.
Please restrain flame wars from the LUGNET community. Thank you.

Dear Jeremy,
I take it from you snips that you have issue with the self-censored swearing in
this thread. I can’t speak for Eric but I know I thought hard about whether or
not I should use that word and decided that it has a) appeared in lugnet in
various guises before without complaint and b) was the most appropriate word
to use under the circumstances.
Perhaps you feel that there is no time for even mild swearing (in Australia I
doubt that bu* is considered a swearword at any legal level let alone in the
public view but I realise USAians often have stricter views) and that is your
right but I happen to disagree with it very strongly and were I to write that
post again I would use the same word again. I will respect and have respected
other people beliefs about what is right but I also hope for them to extend that
same respect to mine.
Tim

Is this in fact what Jeremy was refering to?

I know LUGNET doesn't have a list of "okay swearwords", but I'd think if stated
as "BS" it'd go by unnoticed.
I haven't read every post in this thread yet, just the ones which have come
through .admin because I get alerted to those in my main e-mail box. (As an
aside, it's always odd for me to hear arguments that way because they've usually
already become quite heated..) I plan to check out this whole "fight"(?) later
today.
Frankly, comments like this bother me more:
> but I realise USAians often have stricter views)
:-\ strictly my own opinion, of course. ...it just seemed
inappropriate/unnecessary.
Jeremy's comment above seems like friendly common sense. It's too bad that the
context of his post could cause it to be taken personally. (just an observation)
More later,
-Suz
everyone please relax meantime.
