Tim certainly can determine what he thinks is a quality MOC. He could have
dropped the word "quality" and it would have been valid.

You're right, Tim doesn't have the right to determine what is allowed on
Brickshelf. He DOES, however, have the right to ask Kevin to change his
policy.

It is overwhelming to Jon, Tim, me, and a number of other people. The fact
that you don't share our feelings does not negate our opinion. Or is your
opionion the only one that matters?
And "gain points"? What is this, a game to you? It certainly isn't a game for
me.

Not quite. Yes, you are well within your rights to disagree with us. However,
unlike you, we are not calling you immature for voicing your disagreement with
our opinion on the avatar images.

Are you even reading what we write? I sure don't see it in your replies.

Again, I have to ask, are you actually reading our posts? One can have valid
reasons for disliking something, you know. If not, how can any complaint about
anything be valid?

Ah, so you've never voiced a complaint on anything? Asked for something to be
removed from anywhere? The root of both actions are disliking something. The
Civil Rights movement was due to a group of people disliking their treatment by
another group, and they called for a ban on such treatment. They must've been
wrong, hmm? Now, you may claim this is a bad example again. I'll use an
example from Lugnet. Were we all wrong to complain about Matthew Moulton, who
was being disruptive in the newsgroups? I mean, we could've just ignored his
messages, I suppose...
