I'm not insulting him, I just wish you'd let the poor guy rest in
peace. He isn't your tin God and you don't need to worship him like
you do.

That's because you're limited. I mean take some great artist, say
Picasso, what if they were a complete a**hole? Does that make their
work any less great? Of course not. You say you won't visit my site,
in what way do you think that bothers me? I know my models are good,
I put them up in order to give other people ideas not to get something
back. I don't GET anything from my site, YOU get something from it,
you only try to hurt yourself by threatening to not go there if I
don't share YOUR opinions and YOUR feelings. I may have acted
somewhat rude, but at least I'm not acting childish Shiri.

Imagine how wonderful the world would be if we all thought like you,
shared only your opinions, only liked the things you did, gosh, what a
wonderful world it'd be then, huh?

I did give constructive criticism. If I had just said, "Oh well
you're an absolute waste when it comes to building anything with Lego"
THAT would be non constructive. I simply stated that I had a fear
that whatever he was going to eventually come out with would not be
anything new or interesting to me. AND ONLY ME!!! I didn't say it
was your opinion, or that it was the opinion of everyone else, I said
it was MY opinion. Are you saying I don't have a right to express my
opinions? Even if they may make you feel bad? Because if you are
what the hell do you think YOUR doing right now?

I have friends who are like me, people who like their friends to be
completely open and honest. I would hope that if I ever came up with
a Lego design that didn't look good people would say so and
specifically tell me why so that I could improve the idea and learn
from it. Being coddled like an infant your entire life only results
in spoiled brats, inefficiency, a lack of will to try to make
something better than what you think you can do, etc, etc.

Obviously you don't either, funny that.

*shakes head*
Legos = children/childish play thing (this is the general opinion
outside the Lego community)
You told me to grow up, which doesn't make a lot of sense considering
that what we do can be considered a form of play. Get it now?

Gosh, imagine how perfect the world could be if everyone wasn't like
you and practiced what they preach.
