Ya know Eric, this is a really cool bot, but for you it’s the same old same
old. Different fingers, different eyes, different color, but still the same

new?

Um, yeah, and I think your bikes are always the same...Nyehh.
But seriously... Adrian, my jaw dropped when I read this (above). Sorry to
jump in here out of the blue, but your post sounds really mean regardless of
whether it’s true, which I doubt it is. Maybe I’m biased, being a huge fan
of Eric’s work (and yours as well, for that matter) and so I love seeing new
iterations of older ideas. As MarkN pointed out, Eric has made numerous
improvements.
Why the negativism? It seems to me that it only hurts other people when you
post purely negative commentary. I’ve always hated the phrase “If you can’t
say something nice, don’t say anything at all,” but maybe there’s an ounce of
truth in it?
If you’d said something like that about one of my MOCs, I’d feel pretty hurt.
Seeing this here, I’d also feel less welcome in posting new MOCs in this
group. I think you should think about that a little bit.
Peace out,

I agree with Todd.
Adrian, nobody forced you to reply to Eric’s post. I mean, you’re not even a
frequent build.mecha poster, so I don’t understand why you felt compelled to
reply to his particular post. It just came out of the blue.
Same for you Lenny, your post seemed to be a deliberate attempt to put down
Eric.
I think both of you should have e-mailed Eric about this, or simply ignored the
post.
Listen, if you don’t like Eric’s work, that’s fine, but do recognize that he has
done, I would say, more to further mecha building than any other individual,
not just by creating incredibly complex, gravity-defying, and inspiring robotic
creations, but also by curating the build.mecha forum, welcoming new mecha
builders, replying to a heck of a lot of posts, participating in events,
overseeing online mecha resources, and generally being THE face of the LEGO
mecha building community. I mean, he’s like our representive, always furthering
our cause: LEGO mecha!
On top of this, he is also one of the friendliest and nicest people you could
meet online, and, I am told, in person.
Please show him some respect.

| (...) You didn't read that carefully, Mladen. As with all criticism, I mentioned both good points and bad. Examples of good comments: "The over-all form is nice." "I really like the head." Everything else I said was not a deliberate attempt to put (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
