  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) The name wasn't arbitrarily chosen like yelling "uncle". I think it has more to do with the tired examples involving Hitler that are invoked whenever someone can't think of anything better to support their argument. Here's a bit about it. (...)

  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) I guess it's not completely understood. ;) I've been posting to LUGNET for over 3 years. This isn't my first appearance in the .debate groups. This is certainly the first time I've seen the use of a name like that. It really seems in poor (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) It is understood around .debate that if you mention the name Hitler you automatically concede the debate. That's all Steve was referring to. Geez, you guys need to lighten up! Maggie (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) I have already responded to Steve by indicating that I honestly don't understand his comment. Is there something I'm missing here? (...) That was part of my point. Thank you for seeing it. (...) "come up with the title"? O.K. now you've lost (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) Steve, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your comment. (...) Nor this comment. Your point is lost on me. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit. Best regards, Allan B. (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) I really don't think this comment is appropriate for this debate, Steve. Not to overly criticize, but Allan wanted to distance himself from the typical "fan of lego". I wanted to try to prove that he didn't come up with the title, but alas he (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) (pssst! You forgot to mention 'Hitler'!) (...) And I don't use 'AFOL' because when you say it out loud, it's something awful. Steve (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: "MOC" Blacksmith Shop on lego.com
 
allow me to add some colour (oops...that's canadian...) :) commentary. <snip> (...) but it does raise a contentious issue of reality of the set (design) vs. ease of construction plus, the older sets could be made into other creations, if the the (...)

  Re: questions on current events
 
(...) I'm not sure what it can prevent. The whole project looks highly speculative. Dubya should just hand over the cash to his arms industry buddies and leave it at that... (...) ...and to you. Scott A (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
