Okay, yes: This post does seem like a troll.
|
|
No, it does not seem like a troll, it is a troll. It is completely off topic
and does not relate to the current discussion at all.
|
Except that it was about community, and community interaction... and problems
interacting - which I think is at least partly due to a mindset of secrecy
within the community. And I gave a concrete example of that secrecy.

In fact, I saw this
post, smelled a rat, so I did a search for your posts. It seems that you keep
posting about this issue over and over again. See:

I smell a vendetta, and I don’t like it.
|
Hardly a vendetta, but YMMV. And what were those two posts?
- a request to lift the ‘veil of secrecy’
- a note that people outside North America had avoided a financial loss

If you want to troll people, do so
via email, AIM or MSN. Stop distracting people from good discussions here and
learn some online forum etiquette.
But since you’ve brought it up, I’ll address the issue.
I’ve met Tim in person and attended his round-table at BrickFest that dealt
with the Online LEGO Community. You were not there, but if you were, you
would not dare question Tim’s integrity or devotion to this community.
|
That might be right. But I wasn’t there, and I am left with what I read here.
And what I read here doesn’t give a clear explanation what happened. What
happened seems odd, but the response to what happened seems even odder in many
ways.
| |
Instead, I suggest trying to get in touch with Matt Gerber. He hasn’t been
heard from for months, so that in and of itself should give you some sort of
hint as to which direction you should send your trolls in.
|
Yes. It is a hint. But that’s all there is - a hint here, a clue there.
Something dramatic has happened in the community - some people are allowed to
know details, others not - and it is as if the whole thing never happened.
I won’t post on this thread again. Rest assured: I won’t raise the topic again.
Adieu
