I recall a discussion I had with a couple of them towards the beginning of
the year when Richard was commenting quite harshly then too.  When I brought
up Richard's comments (which disturbed me then and still disturb me), they
didn't even regard them because of his demeanor.  I think Richard's message
is solid, but his methods are off base.  There's something to be said about
shock value when dealing with someone who seems to be not listening, but on
the other hand, you win more bees with honey than with vinegar.

Which disturbed you then and disturbs you now? C'mon? Reread it, it's not
that harsh -- except for maybe the subject line.  Disturbs?  I think you
aren't actually losing any sleep over it, Tim. ;o)

Anyway, you know what I owe TLC? Nothing.

For years, y'all wandered in TLC's silence -- now they occasionally toss off
an email and they somehow should be treated like gods for it?  Whatever...

BTW, I do think they read these posts -- if for no other reason than because
someone as genteel as Tim Courtney responded to it. Thank you very much. But
if they would otherwise blow it off, then they do me a disservice -- no one
but an admirer of their products would have written that post to begin with.

Funny thing is -- drop the froggy, angry silliness and the subject line and
you would have written it yourself in more or less the same words.

Tell ya what though, if Todd Lehman, Suzanne Rich, Steve Bliss, or either of
the two Bogers asks me to tone it down -- I will.  I will bow to the
administrators of Lugnet.

Someday, as some have suggested, I probably WILL stop buying the brick --
its demands are high and payoffs sometimes quite attenuated.  Everyone that
knows me well has asked me to stop playing with Lego and get back to drawing
and writing with more serious media. See: http://www.anvilgallery.n3.net/
and decide for yourself if I don't suck as an artist in more traditional media.

I scare because I care...
