No one can speak to what another person's intention actually is, until and
unless some sort of perfect mind reading device is built (and I hope that never
happens, but I digress).
All I can judge by is the outcome of actions. No one's perfect in this one, but
I think you're being a bit "who me"-ish. Your posts stirred up commotion. Not
just you, of course.

I don't.
Rather, I'd say you relished in sharing your class warfarish views in a way
that stirred things up. One rather mild example:
http://www.lugnet.com/dear-lego/?n=2001
and from earlier in the thread:
http://www.lugnet.com/dear-lego/?n=1906
Those are just two examples that I found in a hurry, they're not even the best
ones.
I don't think you get to say "I'm being incendiary, but it's all in fun" after
the fact, and I don't think you can insult people and in the same breath claim
that you're trying to end a discussion and bring calm.
Just my opinion, and note carefully that I'm NOT saying that I didn't stir
things up too, but I don't see it as being the same degree at all. Not at all.
