About once a year or so on Lugnet a few people start making noise about how
no one is nice anymore or the forum is going downhill or something. I
really think this represents some sociological cylce rather than a sign that
it's all really going to hell.
I think your intentions are true, but you should spend some time on Usenet
or on some other lesser forums online. Trust me, the online LEGO community
is unbelievably polite and civilized.
