Most of what was posted I do agree with- this group has clone brands as its
topic and if one doesn’t like clones, (BTW, I don’t) then one shouldn’t post
b####’n here. BUT, that doesn’t mean one cannot read what is posted.

This is the group designated for clone discussion, pro or con. It should stay
polite, just as with any group, but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t have the
right to make negative statements about clones here. They should, however, be

I haven’t heard any stories of LEGO loyalist beating up kids just because
they bought MB sets. Nor have I hear anything about LEGO loyalists going to

Nor have I heard of LEGO loyalists taking a pile of MB sets and putting them
beneath a cross on fire. You get my point?

Well said! I haven’t heard anyone say that God made LEGO superior to (insert
clone brand name here) either, which, in my experience, is at the root of racial
prejudice more often than not. LEGO vs. clones is not much different than Coke
vs. Pepsi, Chevy vs. Ford, or Star Wars vs. Star Trek. Many people have strong
loyalty to one or the other, many others don’t care for either, and still others
like them both to some degree and would be happy with either. Hating someone
because they drink Coke is a bit silly, don’t you think?
