Ouch, is that how you treat everything you do not like? Tell me, what
product line of Lego do you like... lets trash that, as well as your work
for awhile - ok?? Thats what you are doing here....

If it is still there, then it is not being drowned out, its just being
joined. When you drown something out you overtake it and hide it from view.
Nothing is being hidden from your view. It seems you are saying you are too

In his opinion they are ugly and whatever. But does that mean they should be
banned. I personally do not like the 2001 racer sets - so does that mean
they should be banned?

No, saying you do not like them is stating an opinion. Calling for
banishment is not an opinion.
