Thanks...but I was just saying what I

I'm not sure why some cannot comprehend
sarcasm...in today's society, we *need*
humor more than anything. Talking about
life as it is shows lurkers that us lego
fans have normal lives, and aren't
obsessive geeks. (I for one, draw and write
far more than I build with the brick.)

Again, I don't see how one can make a
personal attack without any base.

Man, it's crazy to think how many times
I've had guests knock models to the floor
by accident or take apart a model when
I didn't have the instructions. Sure, I
got angry at first, but I couldn't see
the merit of holding it against them. The
next day, I just forgot about it and went on.
Heck, that's life. Has anyone else had
a bad experience like this? Heck, I still
laugh when people ask me if I still
have 'that lego model I broke a while ago'.
I didn't see any injustice with your actions.

Honesty is a good thing, and I appreciate
that you would go to the trouble to post
your experiences. Say it like it is. That's
the beauty of lugnet.

Truth to say, I saw little reason for
anyone to bother to complain. (I thought
it would evoke a lot of 'yeah, that
happened to me, but this is worse' posts.)
Maybe we need less political thinking
and more ideas here? The best thing the
community needs is less judgement so
it's not divided apart.

Heck, I make grammatical mistakes a lot.
(when it comes to complex words, using them
in improper context, and I'm always nailed
for it.) You english sounds fine to me, so
I don't see much of a problem. (I'm
just not the person to signify error. As
long as you get the point across, that's
all that matters. :)
Thank for your thoughts,
