I agree with you, Tim, LEGO shouldn't usually bring thses issues, but Lugnet,
wether we agree with it or not, isn't only about LEGO. Plus, there are
individuals that have opposites or conflicting personnalities, and even in
LEGO-related topics, these personnalities can bump into each other and produce
nasty reactions.
But why say LEGO isn't important enough to swear about? What is? You see, even
this simple comment by you, a comment that was meant to state a very clean
opinion, can lead to a very bad debate here. If you answer religion or politics
for example, people can disagree with you and the war will be raging on before
you know it. With thousands of persons here, it's easy to find people you like,
it's even easier for some to find people you don't like!
