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 a living with it, so it's just a fun hobby. If changes in LEGO's
products make you this nuts, then you're taking it too seriously.
I think we should all be very grateful that Jake's job exists and that he
communicates with us as he does. As a lot of us have observed, companies don't
usually interact with their fans to the extent LEGO does.
Jake has done a terrific job and I applaud him.

Despite what culture you belong to, there is a common sense of courtesy and
gratitude. Everyone should feel that. And there are definitely better and more
intelligent ways of expressing yourself than stating "LEGO Sucks".
