I really didn’t want to become part of this post because I felt so puzzled by what I was reading. I have always held Lugnet with high regard, due to the civillized nature of the people here, unlike most public forums which are not so. I don’t post very often but I like coming here to see whats happening in the wider LEGO community.

I strongly admire Eric Sophie for his work, his building skills and his general attitude on LUGNET, as well as the inspiration he has provided me with over the few years I have been sharing my creations here. This is also true for many people who frequent DOTMecha.

I cannot understand why this unconstructive debate about the TOS has started, and more so, why it has been allowed to continue publicly?!?! If there has been a TOS violation it should be dealt with privately between the user and admin staff. Personally I think it does no harm, if one of the worlds leading LEGO builders is selling something and wants to let the mainstay of the Mecha building communtiy know about it.

I think everyone needs to take a deep breath, get the BRICK(s) out, and get building to put something constructive back onto the page!

Peace

(...) A few things to note here. 5000 views does NOT mean 5000 people from build.mecha looked at it. Nor does it mean 5000 people want to hear about a sale announcement in build.mecha when most of them probably don't even read the group. Lastly, (...)
