Yes, but you kept asking me to identify myself and tell who I was. You thought
one of the people ticked off about bogus feedback was in your midst and you
became instantly defensive.

I made a reply to your discussion on auctions a few days ago and asked one
simple question. Since then, I have been the one being slammed because no one
has seen my postings here before. Well, a person has to start somewhere. And I
started with the current juicy topic. There has not been much talk of the
"brick" on here for quite a while. So far I have seen a lot of back patting
about the experiment on eBay, I have seen something like the Dating Game for a
high schooler and a lot of people who claim not to like eBay but are still
willing to buy and sell from there.

Well, we ARE posting under Marketplace Theory.

I gave you an idea and you said you liked it. The idea seemed sensible to me
and others but now I am just a "cipher". You labelled my name at the top of
your posting. I know I have an unusual name and it would throw you off. In the
next attack are you going to not only want to know the Lego theme I enjoy
most, but my age, color and origin? Is this a closed discussion group as in
back to the days of civil liberties for some and not others?

Calling names certainly means you are rattled.

Stop participating. Is this Lugnet or Larnet? Why do you need to know "who I
am" so badly? Are the discussions on Lugnet always so chock full of paranoia?

This is not the place to be a newbie, is it? The King does not like all new
subjects equally, especially if they do not look, sound, act or discuss, or
have names such as he has.
I am bailing on this one. Not because you have offended me, Larry, but because
I do enjoy Legos and I like to spend more time building with Legos than
talking about Legos. There are real Lego maniacs, but most of them are not on
these Lugnet discussions. I'll be on when there is real information to be had,
legos offered for trade and sale, and people who actually build with Legos
rather than hoard them away in their closets. This one really stirred up the
bottom of the barrel at Lugnet. When one starts asking the real difficult
questions and calls it like they see it, it usually happens.
