ouch.
I saw this and was so appalled I just had to reply.
I don't know Jake, but to see Suzanne make assumptions
about his character and his motivations is shocking.
The tenor of Jake's verbage is clear and professional.
By contrast, the tenor of Suzanne's is petty and childish.

I for one get the sense that here is a fan community
that is making it difficult for the representatives of

fan club site be so rude and difficult w/ the RockBand?
This is baffling to me (at best), and suicidal for the fan
community at large (at worst).
Here's hoping there's a light at the end of the tunnel...

| (...) Perhaps so, but only because the representatives of the fandom have made it at times difficult to remain fans (of this particular interactive medium, at least). If Jake is truly worried that AFOL's will object to such LD comments as "we can't (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
