I don't. I can only respond to what's been made public, and with this issue, a
heck of a lot of it has been made public.

I can call for an apology because if I were in Jake's position, I would have
been quite offended by Suz's post. Besides, as I said before, its been made
public, and thus no one can expect the public to not voice their opinions.
Expecting such is silly and naive.

Oh, the posts here sure seem to be direct information. If this is a private
matter, it should have been *kept* private.

Easily. The individual is not meeting my expectations. Thus, I am
disappointed. Surely you've been disappointed when someone did something you
didn't think they'd (or hoped they wouldn't) do.

I know her about as well as I know most public figures, i.e., from her words
and actions both these and those in the past. I'm not judging her character,
I'm voicing my disappointment at her actions. You seem to be infering that we
can't be disappointed in people based on words and actions; are you saying you
are completely satisfied and happy with every single action politicianshave
ever made? I find that hard to believe.

I voiced my opinion based on how I felt. I was apalled at her tone and
offended by her breach of the rules, which she had set forth! Also, anything
posted here on Lugnet is fair game for any poster to respond to. If it isn't,
it obviously should not have been made public.

I was not using "propagandizing verbiage" to "vilify an opposing conjuncture".
I was stating my opinion and prediction of what the future holds for Lugnet if
the admins continue to be unfriendly towards Lego and the AFOL community. You
may think it is unlikely to happen, but how much abuse are people willing to
take? I've seen way too many good people lose interest in Lego or the Lugnet
community over things that have gone on here to see it otherwise.
