Tantrum? You must have a thin skin. I have a different opinion. I didn't think
what you wrote was being nice so I wrote back. Simple.

Your mean, lack compassion and make a big to do about what you call my
motivation. It was just a post about sorting! Big deal!
I don't need anyone to make "excuses" for me posting about sorting.
Issue is you just couldn't let me have fun without kicking me down for it.
First time you and I had a problem was on jlug when I started yelling at people
for going off topic in my Mana Cat post. A post where I asked people to please
stay on topic and to please make some positive contribution.
Ever since then you have been picking on me. All this hype about tantrums needs
to be squashed. If I argue with someone it is because of the classic internet
reasons. It is hard to communicate without the benifet of freindship and or
personal interaction.
I have stood up to many people who have mistreated me and who have fallen on the
band wagon. Nothing more. If you don't agree with me on something fine. I'm not
going to chew your head off. Talk with me and I'l talk back. Chime in like you
have some sort of master plan for me and I'm going to say NO NO you got me all
wrong. At times I can be blunt. At times I wish I never got involved. I can tell
you, if you gave me a chance you would see something different.

Sorting is boring! That's why I posted! Get it?

Igonore? I ignored your last attack on me, this one I was not going to let go.
At least give me the respect in standing up for myself. Please don't give Lenny
a hard time. I have done enough of that. He loves Lego, so do you and I, right?

Look, I was just looking for a little compassion from fellow Lego fans in the
face of a daunting task. Sorting 3 months worth of work.
You could have said..."wow that must be a lot of work!, good luck, btw, how do
you go about sorting?..."
Or whatever way you would like to phrase it. Using sarcasm with a person you
clearly do not get along with is going to be a sticky proposition.
If we were cool we eachother, man, you could have half my Lego, I go to extremes
for my friends. Because if you don't have friends in this world what do we have.

Disagree, sarcasm, which is it? Don't answer, please, let's just try to get
along. You look down on me, all I ever wanted is to reach out to Lego Fans.

Take what he said serious, your missing the point. Sometimes the humour is not
taken as directed because there is no common ground or trust between the people
in question.

So what about all of this, how are you, how is your son, and are you building
anything cool? Let's change the subject to something more positive.
