    LEGO sucks! —Dirk Meier
   Jake, please, please shut up! Do you believe what you are writing? We don`t need your way of community development. I give you a good hint: Look for another job! We don`t trust in any word from you nor TLC. Tomorrow white will die, then red, (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Orion Pobursky
     (...) Dirk, I think this post was rude and uncalled for. How would you like to be called useless? I sure wouldn't. You basically just called Jake a moron. Whether or not you agree with the TLC's decision does not give you the right to have a nasty (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Bruce Schlickbernd
     (...) I don't care for the color change - they should have thought about backwards compatiblity and inviolate colors before they made the change. If they had, I really doubt they would have be having this discussion. That they won't change back is (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Bryan Wong
     (...) I really hope someone hacked into your system and wrote this message. I would be really embarassed to be associated with a hobby in which fans speak with such lack of class and civility. If this is the way AFOLs behave (and I stress the A for (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Richard Morton
      "Dirk Meier" <dirk.meier@surfeu.de> wrote in message news:HxB097.1A8r@lugnet.com... (...) Okay - timeout. Really. There is absolutely no need for that. Whatever the AFOLs concerns are with new colors, there is absolutely no need for that. Just (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Jeff Findley
     I don't believe your ranting is serving any useful purpose. I personally think that Jake is doing everything he can to help. That's a [hard] thing to do. When you're in customer support, it's a very difficult thing to keep certain customers happy (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Dirk Meier
     Hi, get me right: Jake tries his best - I know, but I cannot imagine he is really believing what he is writing. Then he could not be an AFOL. For him it must be frustrating. So this was my intention to give him the hint to look for a new job. No one (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: LEGO sucks! —Jeff Findley
      (...) Jake has said many times that he doesn't lie to the AFOL community. (...) Have you had business dealings with "far east" cultures like the Japanese? If you ask them to do something, and they aren't going to do it, they don't tell you "No" at (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
     
          Re: LEGO sucks! —David Laswell
      (...) A friend of mine is in a teaching program in Japan, and he's been commenting on some of the more odd instances of culture shock. One of the most interesting ones was finding out that some of the local residents will just cut in line whenever (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: LEGO sucks! —Thomas Avery
      (...) I think Jake is honest with us and passes along any information that is important to the community, whether good or bad. I'm sure he believes it. (...) Well, let's put this into perspective. LEGO is a hobby to most of us. We usually can't make (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: LEGO sucks! —J. Spencer Rezkalla
      (...) It's unfortunate that you are unable to adapt your hobby to these changes. I've been eyeing some of my mocs that I actually want to change over to the new colors to improve them. The added bonus is this will free up some of the older colors (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
    
         Re: LEGO sucks! —Ralph Döring
     (...) Schnipp (...) Hey, speak for yourself ! I can say what I think and do it in a civilized manner (at least I hope my english is good enough ;) I am also not annoyed. I do like the new colors for my space-junk-mocs but I'll also miss the old (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)
   
        Re: LEGO sucks! —Kevin L. Clague
   (...) Dirk, Are you *sure* your an *adult* fan of LEGO? I don't doubt the "fan of LEGO" part, but I do seriously question the adult part. Are you saying you are more loyal than me? I'm sure not going anywhere. More colors mean more options. I invite (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Hibernation —Dirk Meier
   Hi Kevin, I like your direct style! Yes I am an adult, and I'm mature. But no longer a fan of LEGO. It was not my intention to annoy any AFOL! Sorry, if this was a result of my postings! Then it even would have been better not to write a single (...) (20 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
   
        Re: Hibernation —Kevin L. Clague
   (...) Thanks Dirk. Enjoy your hibernation and I hope you find your new hobby relaxing, enjoyable and stress free. Kevin (20 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)
