Jeez, Stephen!  Granted my post wasn't positive, but I think you now look
the bigger whiner here.  In my post I addressed completely legitimate
complaints with a product I've loved for decades (and which I feel
completely justified in offering an opinion on since it's been in my life
that long), and then you complain about my complaints!  If you think
everything TLG does is fantastic and doesn't deserve any criticism
whatsoever, why not say that instead of resorting to such petty, sarcastic
crap like this?  You obviously spent plenty of time putting this negative
post together (probably more than I did with mine), anything else that we
fans do that gets on your nerves?  Hmm?  Might as well get it off your chest
now.  Let the anger and frustration go, dude, it'll poison you eventually.

Read my response to Duq's post and you'll see that even I can see the funny
side of the situation.

standard FAN-NO-MORE complaint form  v0.9.3

[ ] Dear LEGO / [ ] Dear Jake / [ ] To whom it may concern,

I wish to say that [ ] I am not a fan any more / [ ] you are just not
living up to what I expected / [ ] things have gone downhill.

The latest [ ] model / [ ] colours / [ ] catalog / [ ] announcement
has upset me so much that I [ ] will no longer buy any LEGO any more / [ ]
am selling my entire collection / [ ] have decided to lock myself in my
basement / [ ] refuse to discuss it.

____________________ (insert personal rant here)

In parting, I want to just say [ ] the new colors are an abomination / [ ]
the set design is wretched / [ ] you have forgotten your roots / [ ] you
have made too many "big pieces" / [ ] you have sold your soul to MegaBlox • /
[ ] click hinges are a sign of the apocalypse / [ ] change is bad.

Things were [ ] way better / [ ] so much better / [ ] perfect
back [ ] in _____________ (insert year here) / [ ] during my childhood / [
] long ago.

Why can't you [ ] stop messing things up? / [ ] go back to when things • were
good? / [ ] do things my way? / [ ] listen to me, not those pesky people
who disagree with me?

[ ] regretfully yours
[ ] angrily yours
[ ] frustratedly yours

(...) I thought Stephen's post was humorous. He's got a point: people need to lighten up. I know of a lot of great builders who've gotten fed up with all the complaining that goes on at Lugnet, so much so that they don't read or post often anymore. (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) The form letter left out a key sentence: This subject is far too serious to joke about. (...) But was he actually complaining, or just commenting? Cheers Richie Dulin (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
