I was playing entirely fair, according to the mandate of my site.  Expert
Builder is not LUGNET, different rules apply.

The reviews on Expert Builder are *meant* to be provocative and not

Nobody minds a provocative and not necessarily kind review. There are enough
of them posted on lugnet.reviews to make that obvious. Nobody minds you
objecting to Jack Stone - many of us agree with you, me included.

Indeed. I don't have any particular desire for Jack Stone sets (though I do
own two of them) but I do think they are great fun for 3-4 year olds. They
are also apalling value in terms of price per piece.

What Richie is objecting to, and I agree with him, is that you "review" a
set without actually owning or building it, and make statements in the
review which are plain wrong. That's not a review. You really should state
on the page that you are going by the box picture, not real experience with
the set.

Even from looking at the box pic you can see those 2x2 columns have vertical
slots... if they'd fit garage doors, for example, (which they should if they
fit other standard sliding pieces like portcullises), that would be great,
I'd love garage door holders which are not red or blue!

Cheers
