No implication or insinuation of intentions was made. Whether intentional or
unintentional, as one of the main participants (if not the main participant),
the result was that you said things which stirred up (or helped stir up, or
were a catylist in the stirring up of, pick one) a large, off-topic and
misplaced commotion, resulting in complaints from a number of people.
Do that in .off-topic.debate or .market.theory, not in .dear-lego.

Thank you.

In the end, those steps were ineffective. Next time, try migrating the
discussion to an appropriate group. Early posts in the thread were on-topic
for .dear-lego (open letters/opinions to LEGO), but it broke down quickly
into name-calling (off-topic for .dear-lego) and arguing (off-topic for
.dear-lego).

It's neither my place nor my wish in this to honor or doubt anyone's sincerity,
only to deal with the problem of the commotion.

Agreed.

Human nature.
