That said... I’d like to pose a thought starter question to everyone...
Has everyone said everything they want to say about this topic? Are there any
new ideas or new arguments in need of being made?
If you, dear reader, think that you don’t have any new ideas to add, or new
arguments to make, because you can see that they’ve all been satisfactorily
made, consider using the link that takes you to the next post, rather than the
link that starts a reply.
Just a thought.

Thank You, Larry. I hate to add one more post to this thread, but feel the
need. I totally agree with what you say about everyone just stopping.
But, I think this thread is a real eye-opener as to the nature of this
community. Is this really where we’ve come? Is this the pinnacle of our
achievement? When Jake and TLG swing a deal that benefits us in making brick
available, we don’t thank, we don’t put in creative (both positive and negative)
input for more than two or three posts before the discussion turns to insults,
back-biting, ripping, tearing and slander.
“So-and-so lied” or “You’re upside down” come spouting from thread after thread
on LUGNET these days, so much so that not only do I now lurk, but I refrain from
reading posts for upwards of weeks because I can’t put up with how much you
people hate each other. What causes this hate? Go on, think about the answer.
Emotions over a children’s toy, an insturment of joy that the AFOL community has
transformed into an insturment to channel hatred and frustration at each other.
I was upset as the next person over the color change. Did I chew on someone’s
head because of it? No. If I were upset with the Maersk situation, would I
perform the Internet equivolent of flinging poo at their face in a great monkey
war? No.
This may be a children’s toy that we all so love, but there is no need to act as
if we’re 3rd graders on the playground duking it out over it.
This community really needs to stop hating itself, or I fear it will self
destruct pretty soon.
