And I think that letting a company know that you're displeased is a good thing,
but once that displeasure is known to the company, then it's time to go on.
TLC knows about the colour issue. They know about the displeasure of many
AFOL's, and yet they didn't reverse their decision.
In other words, they didn't ignore your issues with the colour, they heard you
and still kept it.
It's not bullying. In the end, it's their decision to make and they made it.
Now we can sit here and rant and rave and generally act like spoiled brats that
didn't get their cookie before bed, which, in my books will disenfranchise any
goodwill that can be formed between the AFOL community and the people who make
decisions at TLC, or we can accept that our voices have been heard, that the
decision stands and life goes on, and we live to fight another battle on another
day.
But that's just me.
