I hear you.  I think that I was more upset by the fact that the complaints
came in while those in the discussions with me were silent.  All of my
original posts were lego-related and my intentions were noble, as you say
sometimes things do get out of hand.  And when a large number of people start
responding to items that are not within the appropriate listing group people
get annoyed and rightfully so.  Still I must defend everyone's right to decide
what is and what is not lego related.  And I think that my original post of
the greatest adventure movies to make lego sets from was amply lego worthy.
TLG thought Star Wars deserved consideration and it did in fact become a
theme, so why is LUGNET reluctant to discuss any others?  If subsequent posts
strayed how can I be responsible?  I need to think on this some more.


Play well,

Stay the course....

Thanks Gary, I will.

Cheers,
