But what this is about
wasn't really a just general morality debate. It was also about
a specific Lego-related incident that occurred _in the UK_. Seems to me
to be sufficient justification for having it in loc.uk, even though I
personally didn't enjoy wading through the messages. Might be worth
also pointing out that a lot of people from the UK contributed to the debate
that you go on to complain about.

Actually I have to say I may have missed some posts due to having been
away, but I didn't notice any bad feeling until _you_ posted this:

Still want to blame any bad feeling on the Americans? Perhaps we
should feel complimented that we obviously have such a great local
group that other people want to look in on it :)
