Neither was I. Heck, I don't build mecha and I don't go ga-ga over em
either (except in the areas of good engineering with the brick) Oh well. :-)

His list was totally appropriate. Note he prefaced it with 'IMO' or In My
Opinion. There's nothing wrong with him posting his opinion of the best
mechs. He didn't post them as some sort of objective truth, or pretending

Unfortunately he probably didn't expect the earful he got from some people
when he asked for others' thoughts on his list.
I say its definitely appropriate discussion for LUGNET too. Though its
equally appropriate for his own website, there's no reason why it
can't/shouldn't be discussed here either.
I for one don't think he should be chastized for posting his own opinion.
Much less, when that opinion praises others' work(s).
