Gee, how can I put this politely...I guess I can’t! But...

Am I shocked that you can’t put it politely? Nope, not at all - and you know what? Thats sad, but thats what you have proven time and time again.

   If you haven’t bought, played with, and understood from the inside the utility of a recent MB set, then yours is not a considered opinion.

Wrong. I am entitled to my opinion even if I had never even seen a MegaWhatever in person, now thats not the case, but even if it was I would still be free to have an opinion about them.

   I seriously doubt that you have any serious experience with MB products based on your flippant antipathy for clones in general.

You know what happens when you assume right? Just because I do not talk about my experience with MegaWhatever does not mean in any way, shape or form that I do not have any recent experience with them. True, I do not waste my money on them, but that does not mean my friends share the same ideas as I do. Just because I choose not to waste my breath, time and posting time here on Lugnet (a Lego site) about them does not mean I have no experience with them.

   You lack an open mind. You don’t play well with others. You have an unhealthy obsession with product branding.

LOL - if *anybody* here has an “unhealthy obsession with product branding” it is you Richard. Was it not you that called everybody who does not like MB “idiots”?

You know I love it when ignorant people like yourself who know 0 about my experiences in any way try to talk and act like they do. You do not know me, you do not know item 1 about me - so for you to go off half-cocked and make all these wrong, ignorant, baseless, and out of line comments is just funny to me. I find people who feel that they are right no matter what, and feel they have to put others down to make themselves feel better funny. And yes Richard, I find you very funny. I will not respond to you or your trolling or your ignorant put downs any longer, you are simply not worth anything to me and I have already wasted more time on you than you are worth.

But before I go, keep in mind I never said I did not like MegaBloks - you will not find a post from me saying that, so you may want to re-think your stance here.

P.S. Why do you think they make this forum a default skip-filter forum? Think about that, I don’t care if you respond or not (I am sure you will spout something off though).

(...) Richard isn't claiming that you have no right to opinion. He is instead pointing out that, without evidence to the contrary, your view cannot be a considered opinion except on pure faith. Until you demonstrate some knowledge of the brand that (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Gee, how can I put this politely...I guess I can't! But... You, Mark, are in a newsgroup called "off-topic.clone-brands." Whereas your considered opinions are encouraged, your flat out clone-bashing is not. Now, I'm not the boss of you -- but (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
