Who are you to chastize him for an opinion? The admin of LUGNET?

I imagine in Jon's opinion, Bionicle avatars are much different than
Bionicle masks. These pixelated images are plentiful on Brickshelf, and
they add little value (in my opinion and in the opinion of others here) to
the Brickshelf Gallery. So what, someone thinks differently than you, deal
with it.

Were you around LUGNET when the Mad Hatter was here? Do you think HE should
have been let alone to roam LUGNET and destroy the community?
I'm not equating the Bionicle avatars to him, but Jon has a valid point when
he talks about them. And its an opinion, he prefaces his message with
'There might be a few who disagree with me on this, but I think something
needs to be done about this.' How arrogant and whiny about him, no, how
arrogant of you to try to stifle his opinion just because you think he's out
of line. Should his opinion be banned because you don't like it?

Aah.... 'the right.' Well, he certainly is not in violation of the LUGNET
TOS from what I see, so he most certainly does have the right to post this
particular opinion here. Seems you're out of line in telling him (and
making it objective by using that wording) that he's out of line.

Funny thing about free speech, anyone can say whatever they want without
people like you trying to tell them what not to say because you don't like
it.

The Bionicle avatars might be a derivitive of Bionicle, but they are not
Bionicle. Unless someone had an avatar of a photo of an actual Bionicle, or
a piece of Bionicle literature produced by LEGO. These are pixelated images
for the purpose of a chat avatar which (albeit poorly) resemble Bionicles.
And there's a lot of them, and they're crowding out pictures of real (or
virtual representations of the same with a measure of realism - for the
nitpicky) LEGO.

There's quite a few of those, they're hard to overlook. But of course, that
makes me immature too according to you. I suppose if everyone else here
except you found the images in the same distaste, you'd call all of us
immature.
The problem is not with Jon or Jeff or myself expressing our opinions. Its
with you.

What if Kevin posted stats that the flooding of avatars were hurting the
viewership of Brickshelf? Brickshelf is a great resource, and a few are
concerned about it being abused. So what?

Looks like a cheap shot at Jon if anything. His store 'Attack of the
Bricks' doesn't even pretent to have to start with A to be at the top of the
list. Look at 'AAA LEGO Sales' or worse yet '_LEGO' appearing at the top.
Ya, its crummy, but boo hoo. Jon's name is probably a play off the SW Ep II
title 'Attack of the Clones.'

But you are one. You're whining about Jon expressing an opinion. Taking
your own advice, why can't you just ignore it?
