I am asking a valid question: is the LEGO Factory TOS' prohibition on the depiction of (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Well, with a pair of nunchuks the worst case scenario is likely a bloody nose (perhaps not the wielder's) or a VERY painful groin (more likely the wielder's!). :-D I do not now, nor would I ever advocate censoring anybody's MOC's, but I would (...)

(...) Thanks for the overview Lenny. I do find the wording of the original post quite unfortunate (to put it lightly) but I can see that it is, at least, based on a somewhat valid assumption. On a related topic, I do find it interesting that most of (...) (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) What exactly do you mean by 'some sort of Islamic thing?'? Are you referring to the way that one should not make images of the Prophet?

Looked to me like little more than 'not funny, this shouldn't even be on lugnet', which is a fair enough comment I suppose, but to characterise it as 'honest and accurate' is stretching credibility a bit.
