Hello,
I don't post much neither and been here a long time (#98)!
But HUMMMM what a debate!!!!
I would like to interject my point of vew about people and LUGNET.
When I became a member and made a $100 contribution for LUGNET, it was because
it was a very family friendly Website with TONS of valuable informations about
LEGO and I met great people over the years. I even went once at Brickfest.
What is going on in people's mind? Why so much hatered between AFOLs???
LUGNET *IS* for AFOL and if some people feel to dump their frustrations on
other, PLEASE, leave LUGNET and go play PAINTBALL with each other.
This community will greatly benefit from it.
We are all here for the love of LEGO and that why we call each others AFOL.
There is NO need for swearing at each other. there is enough of that around the
world. If we want peace, each and everyone of us HAS to be responsible for our
emotions and actions!
I realize that we are all different and so be it. I realize also that we have
opinions which can be different from others. Do you like to be able to think
anything you want about anyone?? Yes, of course, but let evryone else have the
same freedom toward yourself!
I wish that frustrated members go on therapy, or even better LEGOtherapy and be
more compassionnate toward all other members. You can have opinions, but NO ONE
has the truth! You can like or not what other do but, in no circompstenses that
make them right or wrong. It just a matter of opinion.
Please, have more respect toward each other!
Please, be responsible and not post hatered or swear message
Please, be like you want others to be with you!
PLEASE, keep in mind that it is LEGO user group network and not a battlefield.
I'm not a preacher or into religion, but I'm someone who believe in people's
goodness and solidarity. Jalousy or envy can't be of pourpose. We have to show
exemple for younger generations. Please let's all start in a good way. We all
dream of a better world, and we can do it!
Leg Godt,
Jean-Marc
