Wow. Four years.
It’s funny you should mention it: I’ve discussed a possible revision/redo of
Traumatic Events a couple of times in the last few months.
One discussion was about a possible update to take into account various
traumatic events which may have occurred since (or possibly even slightly
before) the original post.
On reflection, I think an update would detract from the original post, and is
not something I’m likely to do (although I would dearly love to be able to go
and fix the typos in my original post).
Essentially, Traumatic Events was about applying the then contemporary
reaction (much of the comment by Legofan X was fragments of posts on LEGNUT –
you just have to know where to look) to historical changes which had
attracted no similar reactions at the time, with a few extra funny bits added
for interest (such as the Pythonesque shouting obscenities in the direction
of Denmark). But the subsequent changes have all been met with much the same
reaction. I think you could happily swap the comments on the latter day
traumatic events and no one would really notice the difference – it doesn’t
matter whether it’s brightly coloured knights or the end of 9V trains or the
prevalence of computer generated images rather than photographs on sets, or
colour coded long technic pins: People don’t like the change, and wheel out
the same comments - “how could they do such a stupid thing?”, “the company
didn’t ask us, its greatest fans”, “this’ll cost the company money” etc etc.
Ho hum.
I’m so angry with the community’s hackneyed responses to every minor change
that I don’t know what I’m going to do but I’ll certainly be writing less
satirical commentaries on it in future.
Cheers

Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing (and appropriate FUT set).

PS. I have to write this rambling little postscript in order to get Lugnet to
accept this post but I really don’t want to mess up this quote.
PPS. And even the first postscript wasn’t enough. Who’d have thought that
writing so little new would be so insulting to the servers?
