I think it’s very easy for those of you insisting on brand exclusionary
practices to see yourselves as inoffensive, but you’re not.
The very act of telling someone like Dave! to stay in his little corner of
lugnet and not come out or be seen by others is wildly offensive -- far more
offensive than the word “idiots” said a thousand different ways to thousands of
different people.
How could you fail to see this simple fact?
Strangely, I was just noticing the “clickits” forum had been added to lugnet, a
less builder friendly product is probably rarely seen around these parts -- but
hey, it’s official lego excrement, so that makes it okay! I get to Mark P.‘s
site/review where he proudly proclaims “This ain’t no MegaBlocks site!” (see:
http://www.landofbricks.com/home.html) What’s the difference who makes this
silly product when it barely qualifies as brick compatible? I am not
denigrating the product per se, I am critiquing it’s open acceptance as a
canonical TLC product (which is de facto) when it’s utility seems very much in
question. By contrast, products of far greater utility and compatibility go by
many of you unnoticed because they are not made by TLC.
To me this site is largely about MOCs and building, and that only very
peripherally has anything to do with brand loyalty. Maybe I failed to understand
the purpose of this site -- is it just one long advert for TLC products? I
mean, I understand that many of us favor TLC bricks -- but is the emphasis
here on TLC or bricks?
But yeah, it’s me -- I’m the one with the problem. Not you guys with your nose
in the air...
