All good and valid points, but I do understand and sympathies with Suz.

Because it really seams as though LD is simply using
Lugnet as a marketing forum to test their products and
promote their objectives. I may be new, but it didn’t
appear as though LD ever attempted to initiate open
conversation. And I believe the restrictions were
implemented to protect our community (Lugnet)
from corporate propaganda.

Call me dyslexic, but I thought the lego.direct group was
originally/ideally meant to foster and develop relations with
TLG. A place to call their own, and not as a segregationist
implement of restriction.  But that’s just what I believed
was the initial nature of the endeavor…conversely, my
perspective could be skewed cause I'm just a ‘Pollyanna.’
