"tabloid-like" tone.

I have no quarrel with good, thought-out complaints, but IMO (and as far as
I can tell about Lugnet in general), a subject line like "Lego's Dirty
Trick" has no place in such a group, and it is ultimately self-defeating to
the community, especially when it's the .direct group. I found the message
to be reactionary and completely negative, despite what the author might
think about how it might spur TLC onto more productivity. If I were in a
position of reading .direct posts for TLC, posts like that would make me
think that the group was not mature enough for primetime.

Given the tenuous state of the AFOL relationship with TLC, could
.lego.direct's charter be enhanced/clarified to include the spirit of the
group found in message #6?


Hmm... after reading http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=27635 maybe my idea
ain't such a good one.

Oh well... it's just a bunch of plastic toys. What was I thinking anyway? :-P
