!Wow,
God, all the people who replied to this post are so defensive and protective of
TLG. This is simply a personally statement of an individual who's valid concerns
has caused him to express his feelings to TLG. This is directed to them...not
you, Matt doesn't know you, so don't tell him "don't let the door his you on the
way out." He just wanted to express himself, to him, as with many others, TLG
let him down, not the Lego 'community.' However, with responses like these, it
seems that the community lets people down as well. Try showing more tolerance,
understanding and compassion. Thus, if you don't like what he's gotta say...just
ignore it, or try questioning his logic. But don't go off and say stuff like
good-riddens.
That's just not cool people.
Let's try to spread the love, no more negativity please!
