No, actually, I think he is right on. This outcry is flat-out hysteria, as we
have seen here previously.

Arbitrarily changing a common color that has been around for TWENTY-FIVE
years (!) has another quality entirely, and an impact on every adult builder
out there.

I can only imagine the hysteria the 9 volt train introduction would have caused
were LUGNET around in 1991!

Of course I’m referring to grey. I can fully understand people
using foul language to speak their mind on this issue, because it’s fully
appropriate.
|
You are completely wrong. Foul language is strictly verboten, besides being
uncivil and immature, and thus is totally INappropriate.
| |
The time for politeness is definitely over.
|
Then your time posting on LUGNET is over. We try to play well here, and vile
remarks such as RM’s are never welcome. Your choice.
| |
I just feel sorry
for all those weenies commenting only on right that bad language. They truly
deserve Bioknightle.
|
LUGNET is a civil place, regardless of what TLC does. Most of us would like to
keep it that way (including Todd).
| |
But I’m afraid Richard is still going to post just more jokes when LEGO
eventually decides to “improve” the studs as well. Regretfully making them
not compatible to all those older junk anymore ...
|
Not with the kind of foul language he used previously...

I guess all you train types will be happy when TLC switches train formats again,
right? “Woo hoo! Now my old stuff is incompatible - I’m glad for the opportunity
to start over from scratch!” Right. Maybe only if they invite you to a summit
first.

I guess people who can afford to make buildings out of Maersk Blue can afford to
be philosophical about the replacement of colors. Not all of us are so lucky.

“move on”;-)

If they did, what should I do? Wring my fists and scream expletives? There are
no guarantees in life. I try and look on the bright and positive side of
life-- it’s more fun. FWIW-- I’d love nothing more than for TLC to overhaul the
Trains theme!

lol You think I’m rich? I, too, am not so lucky. But I am wise enough to know
that certain attitudes are more constuctive than others. If certain people
really cared about the color issue, then I would think that they’d consider a
more tactful approach when expressing their concerns. Instead, their rants come
off as hysterical white noise, to be placed in the circular file entitled “you
can’t please everyone all of the time”.
We are all able to be civil (I hope).

Could it be you just lack .. dedication? Changing the color palette is no minor
thing. It opens a can of worms. It is outrageous and a sound reason for becoming
emotional. If you’re really dedicated, that is. If you don’t feel that way, you
probably haven’t spent enough time with your hobby, with sorting and storing
parts and creating models. I’m still feeling like I’ve been knocked over by THE
LEGO GROUP (damn them). But at least YOU can feel soo civilized by just saying
“*ouch* well thank you dear LEGO ...” and walking away.

I dare say that I have spent more hours sorting, more hours creating MOCs,
created more MOCs, and spent more money on LEGO than 99% of AFOLs. Dedication
is not the issue. Perspective is.

It would take TLC’s going out of business for me to react as you are.

Excellent! Now we’re getting to the core of it. For me (and many others it
appears) it IS like TLC going out of business, or rather putting me into severe
danger of entering a new Dark Age due to disappointment followed by lack of
interest. Which is basically the same to me, but I suppose the keyword again is
“perspective” :/

Burkhard, what is it that makes you dedicated but John not? That he is willing
to play well with new colors and you aren’t? I just don’t get it. Real life
doesn’t come in 3 shades of gray. The new colors will simply be another
opportunity for creativity.

If something like a color palette change threatens to cast you into a Dark Age,
then I must ask, “Where is your dedication?”
We will survive this tragedy together, Burkhard!
