On Tuesday the 18th I extended a simple invitation for people to Visit NILTC’s
next show:

http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=24035

It was responded to by Larry Pieniazek, The curator for lugnet.trains thus:

http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=24044

The copy came from the library who is very excited about this show. I would
never be so pompous as to correct them on something so arcane as the plurality
of “Lego” especially since a quick review of Larry’s past posts show he is
woefully under qualified to be correcting anyone’s spelling or grammar.

If that wasn’t bad enough he had to continue with,  “I can't imagine him messing
up this spectactularly.” (his spelling). While Larry Pieniazek decided I was
getting personal in a debate forum he found no problem writing something that is
clearly nothing but a personal attack. It is clear he has an ax to grind with me
but taking it out on NILTC and the library was totally out of line.

Furthermore while my friends and acquaintances know I work at a Lego retail
store. When I post here however I’m on my own. It’s not something I put in my
posts. Taking care of the stock room and sweeping the floor once or twice a week
Doesn’t qualify me as an insider. I find my information the same place most of
you do, through the internet. However since this “administrator” decided to
raise that flag I was fired “for being a member of “that” AFOL web site”.

After this post was posted I emailed Kelly McKiernan and then all the “signers”
of the Lugnet policy update:

http://news.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=12017

Despite their statement that they were not immune to the policy none of them had
the courtesy to respond to the email. They have proven that despite the fact
that they claim their only goal is to make Lugnet “The happiest place on earth”
they really are not interested in that goal.

It is unforgivable that an administrator should take a post designed to benefit
a train club and an organization hopping to put on a public show and turn it
into a personal attack. It is further unforgivable that the rest of the
administrators are not capable of policing their own.
