4 points:
1) It was because I have some consideration towards people that I made the post.
2) The post was about Lego direct - it was not off.topic chat (in my opinion).
3) I was debating nothing. What I said is my view, and calling me "rude"
won't change it.

As for the charter. Read this:
==+==
This new .lego.* area (especially .lego.direct) is intended more as a
"community dialogue with the LEGO Company -- for courteous and concise
discussion" than as a regular traffic discussion group.
