Well Anyhow, LMKWYT,
Jason
I am sorry, Jason, but that appears to be the gymnasium of my old high
school.  I am serious, the gymnasium looks like that building, except that
it is all brown and dark red.

Jesse Long

I never meant to insult you, Jason but it is the truth but since I do not
know how to get a map of the entire high school on that computer site, you
would know what I mean so do not take my words as an insult.  Maybe I can
take some pictures of factories so that you could make LEGO Town buildings
for them.  I will try to find the computer site for Aqua Glass, a large
fiberglass plant in the county west of this county, so that I can possibly
obtain a picture for your factory.

Jesse,

I didn't take your first post as an insult.  Although with this new post of
yours I am reconsidering that.  Actually I am having a little trouble
understanding what you are saying but if I am correct, you are telling me that
my factory doesn't look like a factory to you and I should change it for you.
Make it look like some other factory that you may or maynot be able to figure
out how to show me.  Modify my design just to please you.  In case you didn't
notice it's called a MOC for a reason.  MY OWN CREATION.  Constructive
critizism is one things, but if I built a house and you say "It looks like a
donut shop, and oh by the way here are some pictures of real house, model after
this" should I change MY design?  No.  If I built a house and you mention "that
maybe a mailbox out front, or a light above the garage door, or if I tried this
other window techinique might look neat" than that is something completely
different.

Now if that wasn't what you were trying to say, then let me apologize for my
rant.  Critizism and praise are great.  Tell me you like, tell me you hate it,
but never tell me to change the entire thing because you think it looks like
some place near you.

I know what you are saying to me and I saw the designs of your factory but
if you wish to retain the same shape (because not all factories are shaped
the same) and want to make it more like a factory, at least add some of
those yellow and black striped LEGO plates to the forklift area (what
factory would not be complete with one of those features) and add some
cylinderical LEGO bricks that are 2x2 and make them smokestacks.
Practically all factories have smokestacks (unless the environmentalists
have their way in that area) so I thought that it would be a good idea.

I simply mentioned that it reminded me of the high school that I attended
for two reasons.  The first reason is that it really did resembled the
gymnasium at my high school and the second reason is some teachers committed
an act towards me that was rather uncivilized and made my reputation in this
town ruined because of their lies.  I could continue but it would serve
neither of us any purpose and I guess it is safe to say that I had a rough
period of time in high school.

Perhaps it is the mere fact that I view life differently from most users on
Lugnet and that many instances, such as the case here, I see a good addition
to a school where you see a good factory.  I believe that there is a saying
that I have heard once before in my life and it is "It is all a matter of
perspective."  I do believe, however, that my perspective is somewhat
different from your perspective but do not worry because there is a factory
in town that is shaped similar to the factory that you built so ignore the
whole design change and simply add some smokestacks and some of those yellow
and black striped LEGO plates, please?

(...) Perhaps it is the mere fact that your messages use certain words that suggest your perspective as being superior. Perhaps a lighter tone and a better use of softer words is needed in a public forum. This is a problem I struggle with all the (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
