Re: It's brawl night in the kiddie pool —Larry Pieniazek

(...) There's really nothing to debate. Scott's the twit who starts trouble whereever he goes. Go see lego.direct, for example, where his hateful slime caused a great deal of hurt within LD. My only chargable offense is that I let him get to me too (...) (23 years ago, 25-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Re: It's brawl night in the kiddie pool —Richard Marchetti

Re: It's brawl night in the kiddie pool —Larry Pieniazek

(...) The problem with that line of reasoning is that it still leaves him starting wars and casting slime elsewhere. He's trouble of the MM sort. Not the same degree, but the same kind.

LUGNET at risk —Larry Pieniazek

Re: LUGNET at risk —Scott Arthur

NO NO NO NO NO!!! Don't you see the point of all of our posts expressing our COMPLETE DISGUST with the Scott and Larry Show???!?!!!?!

Re: It's brawl night in the kiddie pool —Maggie Cambron

Re: Whatever —Horst Lehner

Hello Larry, it was sad for me to see things escalate in this way. I have by far not seen Scott as negative as you did, even saw some valid points in his posts.
