You mean LEGO holds a low opinion of particular individuals?
|
I am certain that they (that is, individuals within LEGO in various
positions of greater or lesser authority and influence) *do* hold opinions
of particular fannish individuals, some lower, some higher. Those fannish
individuals who are already constructively engaged in working with the
company and causing good things to happen (and these do exist, at least here
in the US and in Europe... consider the Roadshow in support of the Designer
sets for instance, which has a large fan based component) are presumably
held in higher regard than those that apparently (or appear to) only post
negative things about the company on public discussion groups and appear not
to do much of anything else (even if they actually do).
|
Again, my lack of alleged mind reading powers prevents a definite answer, but
I do think it’s very, very small. Far too small to have an effect.
|
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. Perhaps my sample set differs from
yours, however, for whatever reasons.
| |
| |
That’s not to say that Pollyanaism is the order of the day, mind you.
|
| |
| |
And doesn’t
provide things to certain markets based on these individuals’ actions?
|
Not exactly, no, that isn’t what I said. But the converse (that it *does*
provide things to certain markets based on the actions of individuals it
holds in higher regard) I do believe to be true.
|
Can you provide an example of a small national market which LEGO has directly
advantaged due to the actions or attitudes of individuals? Or a large
national market which has been discriminated against because of the actions
or attitudes of individuals?
|
No, but that’s not what I said either. Markets can consist of other things than
nations.
| |
And I don’t think it is even remotely likely that the whinging of a ‘very
very few’ would have any impact on either LEGO or LEGO Australia. But again,
no mind reading powers, so I don’t know for sure :-(
|
I think it more than remotely likely that whinging has a measurable negative
effect (within LEGO in general, I have no L A specific data) and I’ll just leave
it at that.

| (...) Oh well, I'd better respond. Got to keep the .loc.au post count up, after all ;-) (...) I'd go for 'infinitesimally small factor', rather than 'small factor', but then, despite recent assertions to the contrary, I cannot read the mind of LEGO (...)
