At the risk of adding absolutly nothing constructive or positive to this “discussion”, I feel the need to say my piece.

Shortly after I became a member of Lugnet, I jumped into a discussion between Lugnet and a Lego employee. I have no idea who it was, but I’ll say that I didn’t treat him very nicely. I got away with it though, for the most part, I think because the whole “constructive dialouge between fans and company” was still a fairly new idea, also, Lugnet wasn’t entirely keen on the idea of Lego potentialy mining Lugnet for marketing information.

Three and a half or four years later, I have to say I have nothing but respect for Jake (who may or may not be the aforementioned employee).

Most of the information and news that he shares with us doesn’t do a whole lot for me. But that’s because I’m picky and hard to please. I also suffer from a case of apathy. For instance, I could care less about the color change. In fact, as much as I like building with Lego, I’m not worried about the potential they currently face at being bought out or going bankrupt, for me, it would simply be yet another hobby gone down the drain...I’ll find something else to spend my money on.

But there is one thing that really sickens me. That swine like you, Terry, think you are entitled to something more than you deserve. Anytime something doesn’t go your way, you will be there to ridicule and belittle everyone involved. And at the end of the day, all you are really saying is, “what about me?”, “the color change wasn’t for me”, “micro-scale is not for me”, “the list of lock-down colors will prove fallible and does not have me in mind”, “Jake’s information doesn’t reach me fast enough”, “me, me, me”...an endless stream of “ME”s.

You’re a disgrace to this community. If the only “constructive” suggestion you can come up with involves Jake being replaced, then the only constructive suggestion I can offer you is to shut up.

(...) Oh well, I tried. I honestly tried to give it a chance, but seriously, how could I take this whole thing seriously after a post like this? I complain about the way The LEGO Company treats us and all you answer back is that you are working (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
