Can we talk a little bit more about the messing it up issue? Do you think
Larry was attacking you personally or NILTC as a whole by replying to the
NILTC invitation? He has said since that his intention was not to attack
you or anyone, but rather to have some fun with the wording regarding the
word "Legos." How might Larry have approached this differently, in a way
which would not have caused upset? Could he have instead posted his reply
as a new thread, separated completely from the invitation? I sense that
you feel dirtied by the fact that his post was attached as a follow-up
to yours, which you feel in turn makes you look and NILTC look bad. Is
that accurate?

That's awful. That must have been terrible being fired for being a member
of an online group. Are you going to sue them for that? I don't think
an employer can legally fire someone for such a simple reason*. Please
bear with me, by the way; I'm still catching up on this whole thread.
So do you really mean that as a direct result of Larry's having mentioned
publicly on LUGNET that you worked for LEGO Brand Retail, you were fired
by LEGO?
