The new color changes SUCK!!!!  Change them back, and fire whoever thought

You know Orion, it may be a dead horse but that certainly doesn't make the
problem go away.  Keeping it in the forums every once and awhile is a good
thing in my opinion.  You are not required to agree with me and neither is
anyone else.  However, I am certainly not going to offer TLC or any of their
representatives any kudos whatsoever until this problem is solved.  Feel
free to disagree with me, I don't mind.


You're right, you have the right to complain but as a reply to this particular
thread I feel it was inappropriate and rude.  In my opinion, if you want to add
more to what must be 500+ posts, start you own thread.

Inappropriate?  Naw, if TLC's management and policies are getting revaluated,
then I can't think of a more opportune moment to remind TLC that some of us
AFOLs still haven't "gotten over it".

Orion,

This is an open forum where people can discuss ideas, and share their
opinions.  No one has personally attacked Jake.  I don't feel opinion
sharing is rude at all.  In fact, even though I don't agree with you I think
it is perfectly OK for you to share your opinion with everyone.  I don't
think any reply in this thread is rude, even yours.

First off, there is nothing at all rude about me posting in this topic.
This is exactly where a viewpoint, such as mine, should be made.  Lego made
a public posting and I chose this as my response.  For the level of
frustration and disgust I have about this particular issue, I thought my
post was rather mild.

You know Orion, you could not have missed the point more.  The whole reason
I posted in this thread was because it needed to be said again.  It needed
to be said in response to the information that Jake posted.  Did you notice
that nothing in his message so much as mentioned the color issue?  Why?
Because they don't care and don't see it as an issue.  Well, for me, that is
unacceptable.  I am a paying customer just like everyone else on this site.
If you don't like my opinion or where I choose post it then I am afraid you
are just going to have to get over it.  I am certainly not going to stop
just because you, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't agree with how or
where I choose to voice my opinion  If I have to post 10,000 (I believe the
color change issue deserves that many posts at least!) more messages I
certainly will.  I will certainly take every opportunity, like this thread,
to do so.

Go build something and stop worrying about what someone else thinks.

Orion,

I find Gregory's post *very* appropriate. I really can't understand what makes
you so upset. Color change is not a closed subject and, it seems for me that we
(the people who are bothered about it) have here a good opportunity to reopen
it.

If TLC is willing to reflect on bad decisions taken in the past, why not reflect
on this decision of replacing colors? Do you think that it is a good decision,
or you simply don't mind? If you don't mind, luck you. I tell you this, oh how i
wish i wouldn't mind too...

Best regards from Portugal,

Paulo Renato, who now wants to surpasse the 1000 posts barrier about color
change issue (now that's sarcastic :-)
