And I think that line has been crossed. It is not just this picture, though.
There are certain people who can't even let a person speak about castle without
bringing up space in a way to put castle down. It is uncalled for and abusive.
I'll be the first to admit that there are castle fans who do the same, and I
don't like that either. However, the majority of this "rivalry" comes from
space fans. Not all of them, mind you, but more than just a few.

As a castle fan who ranks some very well made space models among his favorites,
I found it distasteful and mildly offensive.

Just because it is a joke doesn't mean it can't offend, annoy, or piss people
off.
The whole Castle vs. Space thing is a dead horse. Let's leave it be and get on
with building.
