I’m only saying that this site is called LEGO-USER GROUP network. Not Bricks
user group network. Dave can go post his LEGO MOC like anyother in the
announce.MOC forums, but this site is dedicated to LEGO, not clones. And it’s
not as if I was saying what everybody should think. I stated clearly:
“I am only saying my point of view here. It may or may not represent the
opinions of other members.”
So why would someone like you go around and insult me? I should like other
brands too because you said so? Purists are idiots means exactly that to me.
So pardon me if I was offensive, but not nearly as much as you are. And as I
said, once again, this site is about LEGO, not bricks. Therefore, clickits are
more suitable for this website than bricks from clone companies, even if my
reason to be here are the building products LEGO makes, not their clickits,
their clothes, their gear, etc.
If you want to change this website’s orientation and ask that it should be
called Bugnet instead, go ahead, maybe you will succeed and this whole clone
issue will be irrelevant. But as of now, it’s not.
