  Re: Perhaps Lugnet can grow into something better? was: I miss the old Lugnet
 
(XPOST & FUT off-topic.debate) (...) This is a tangent, and I'm not commenting on your analogy. But... 'The bottle of beer in his hand' is *not* the alcoholic's real problem. It's *a* problem, and it certainly needs to be dealt with. But throwing (...) (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: "emergency becomes a *disaster.*"
 
(...) That thought did cross my mind... (...) I do not agree. If the LP were to fold it would be regrettable - nothing else. In the context on Sept 11 this is not a disaster. (...) If you loosing your job leads to that sequence of events, I think (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Are you really saying you think he is? Or just that you think he thinks he is? (...) :-o (...) I agree with Larry that this is an "important discussion". What I can't understand is why it is in this group? Scott A (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Legos role in Anti-terrorism
 
It was not my intention to start a debate. Sorry. The point I was hoping to make was, in light of my current situation, I'm still building on my Lego collection and they help me get through the days. Day by day... (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Does the truth hurt you so much? What is the big deal? (...) What is your (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: mine mine mine (was Re: I miss the old LUGNET...)
 
(...) No problem: (URL)were in support of the notion while somewhat less (quite a bit (...) But you both have expressed the "mine mine mine" view... in my view. No big deal. Scott A (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: mine mine mine (was Re: I miss the old LUGNET...)
 
(...) Yes. IIRC, the posts of mine that Scott cited (without giving the URL, for some reason) were in support of the notion while somewhat less (quite a bit less) supportive of the manner in which that notion was voiced by some. (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: mine mine mine (was Re: I miss the old LUGNET...)
 
(...) I agree completely with Scott. It is reasonable in general to protect ones rights to IP. The manner in which various people do this is another matter entirely. Chris (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Abdul Haq (was Re: 6 degrees of separation.)
 
(...) Would that be Abdul Haq in his peacemaking persona, or the terrorist one? It is my understanding that Mr Haq was quite an accomplished terrorist. In 1984 he planted a bomb in Kabul airport - it killed 28 people (mostly school-children). A (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: mine mine mine (was Re: I miss the old LUGNET...)
 
(...) Really? (...) That is not the point. Both Larry and Mladen claim ownership of their designs, but neither wishes to share without credit. It is that simple. Larry: ==+== ...feel some sense of ownership (the same way any designer does) in the (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: mine mine mine (was Re: I miss the old LUGNET...)
 
(...) The differences I see are: 1. Larry doesn't make his design(s) public, and 2. Larry has never asked anyone for credit, claiming they've used his design(s). At least not publicly on Lugnet, AFAIK. ROSCO (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  mine mine mine (was Re: I miss the old LUGNET...)
 
(...) Forgive me if I am wrong Larry, but do you not copyright your designs? How different is that from your caricature of Mladen?? Scott A (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: I miss the old LUGNET...
 
(...) Larry, getting actively involved is something many of us try to do, Mladnen included. Unfortunately, sometimes helping comes across as criticism, no matter how hard we try to make it not look like that. I've recently been on that side of (...)

  Re: I miss the old LUGNET...
 
(...) Well, you slagged Eric too. You just have to prove that you are right, don't you Larry? You just couldn't leave Amy's first message to Eric alone, could you? You always have to add your two cents... Well, this is what it got you. (...) Nah, I (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: I miss the old LUGNET...
 
(...) Well, let's see. Mladen slagged Amy. I called him on it but then let his comebacks insults go. Mladen called me LUGNET's policeman. In another thread, I discussed why people who care about LUGNET need to get actively involved in helping grow (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: I miss the old LUGNET...
 
(...) Agreed (...) No grudges, I just prefer to be spoken with rather than spoken to. I'm certain that others around here would prefer that as well. (...) I have positive view about Larry most of the time. Sometimes he manages to come across as (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: I miss the old LUGNET...
 
(...) No one made me the judge of anything. I was testing to see if you had the willpower to let the discussion drop. I have my answer. (...) Hmmm...looks like you don't really read Mladen's posts after all. I might as well talk to the wall if this (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
