Dear Lenny,
--SNIP--
| |
Well, I don’t like the implication that Lugnet wasn’t calm and peaceful
BECAUSE of the Admins. As if we wanted everyone to call us names and be mean
to us.
|
It was unneccasary in my opinion too. If it wasn’t intended as a barb it should
have been written more carefully, if it was it was unneccesary and rude.
| |
But honestly, things get quiet because people stop caring. I mean, Suz has
announced that unless something happens, Lugnet will be shut off on Oct 1. If
anyone had made that claim two years ago, do you think there would be this
quasi-silent acceptance? People just don’t care whether Lugnet lives or dies,
and they have more fun on other forums anyways.

I’m not sure I agree with your statement that people stopped caring. Certainly I
care very much about Suz’s news. Unfortunately, I feel somewhat disinclined to
post on those sections of Lugnet not directly relevant to my own interests due
to the backwards and forwards sniping that is so common to them. Particularly on
a topic such as this one which is just begging for a massive sh**fight once
someone says something someone else disagrees with.
Personally I’d very much like Lugnet to keep going. It has seen me through seven
or eight years (give or take some RTL time) and the greater part of that has
been very good. Lately there has been far too much infantile behaviour about so
many issues that I almost can’t believe it. As a general rule I either ignore
the posts, make rude comments about the behaviour to those around me or read
through to amuse myself depending on my mood at the time.
I can understand the pressures on the (former) admin team and envy neither you
lot, nor for that matter, Jake for the bs some people have heaped on you. I
appreciate that for some people, Lugnet has probably become a lot less fun than
it used to be, particularly if you are forced into arguments.
I do have to say though that Lugnet could continue quite happily as it is at
present provided people learn to shut up. To paraphrase Suz, we should be here
because we like to talk about Lego, not because we like to talk about talking
about Lego.
Please don’t take anything in the email as an attack on you. I feel that your
behaviour has been exemplary considering the duress you have oft been placed
under.
Yours,
Tim
PS. Sorry if I’m posting to the wrong place. Not really sure where to post this
too.

| (...) Hello Tim. You have every right to have your own opinion on how to interpret my post. Misread, I can understand how someone might think that I thought Lugnet was never calm. This was not my intention. I just noticed heated debates more often (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
