   Additionally, it cannot be overlooked that in his role here on LUGNET Lar has gone to admirable lengths to enforce the TOS as it applies to proper posting venues and subject matter of posts, and on many occasions he posts mid-thread to call for an FUT. Therefore it is far more poignant when he chooses to subvert the spirit of Bricklink’s TOS.



I think that the point Suz was trying to make is that often Lar is right. When Lar sees a problem, he doesn’t stay quiet and live with it. He tried to fix the problem. In this case, he used something like civil disobedience to make a point.

Is that not rather ironic given his willingness to enforce the ToS on this site?

No, not really. Its possible that he believes that the TOS of Lugnet is fair and has no room for improvement at the moment, but that BL has an issue to deal with that might involve changing the TOS.

Hmm. So if I think that the LUGNET ToS is unfair and has room for improvement, should I just engage in “something like civil disobedience” to make my point? Think about it.

  
  
  
It’s not because it is “The Great Lar++”, it is because Larry is consistently acting in the best interest of the community.

hmm.

Hmm ?

That is your view. But if you search for words like “malicious”, “bully”, “arrogant”, “plagiarist” & “mud-slinger” you may find there is another side to that particular coin.

I feel that Larry does contribute a lot to LUGNET. However, I expect many of us recognise that some of his “contributions” are counterproductive.
