Say what? Do you really expect them to address the issue of new versus old
grey specifically in an article about supply-chain management? Really?

The reason I’m asking this question in the first place is because the person who
posted about the article initially said “It also explains the change in color
pallets.” I was hoping that this meant that they were saying that the article
would describe why certain colors which were not eliminated from the current
palette were “altered.” From my perspective, the article did not address that.

How is it a stretch to infer that? Perhaps if you read the whole article
again instead of demanding other people find a quote for you, and then added
the statements of TLC employees on the subject for the last several years you
would be able to easily make the simple connections.

Whooaaaaah, nelly! Let’s just back off the anger throttle, shall we? First of
all, I read the article from front to back twice after it was posted, and I
didn’t find anything in it to suggest why certain long-standing colors were
changed. Secondly, I did not demand that other people find a quote for me,
I simply asked if anyone had seen something that I had not. Clearly, you
did, and yet instead of reproducing these simple connections, you chose to
ridicule me for daring to ask for a little clarification.

LEGO is back to being profitable and will continue to produce our favorite
toy. The colour switch was part of that. What else is there to know?
|
Just because they’re back to being profitable does not mean that they are beyond
called into question for the decisions that were made to restore said
profitability. I will state here that I would be perfectly happy to adopt the
new colors IF TLG or anyone else can produce information that clearly states
that the change was made to ensure the profitability of the company.
Nothing in the article indicated that to me, and if it indicated such to
you, then you’re a much more interpretive reader than I.
Finally, I have to say that the main reason that I don’t participate in Lugnet
forums as much as I used to is because I’m tired of having to defend myself
merely for asking a question! I think that the color change is a bad thing, and
I’ve tried my damnedest to keep that to myself because I don’t want to
contribute to the static on the ng’s. However, it seems that another group of
AFOL’s is also trying their damnedest to keep from screaming “S.T.F.U. and
support the company regardless of what they do!!”
I won’t be a cheerleader for a song like that. If someone s**** on my head, I’m
not going to turn around and say “Thanks for the hat!”
Of course, that’s overstating my emotional commitment to this situation by a
huge degree, but I do think it’s a funny metaphor!
I certainly hope the situation hasn’t progressed the point where we can’t even
ask pertinent questions without being told to *uck off!
