I was unaware you were appointed to determine what is quality moc's and what
had a right to be on brickshelf.. And there is not an overwhelming amount of
these images, thats just you stretching the facts to gan points for you.

Agreed, but if you say that then you also must say there is nothing wrong
with what I am saying.
And it is as simple as hitting the 'next' button.

But he IS calling for them to be banned because he does notlike them!!! ANd
why - because he does not like them, and that is the only reason! Is that
valid? NO!

There is no flood! There is more of a flood of the cad images than these
images, but you like cad images - so thats ok right? BOTH are lego related,
and BOTH have a place on Brickshelf, like it or not.

Well if I am in my own little world I like it just fine, I do not try to ban
something because I do nto like it, I have the maturity to pass it over. And
I am listening to others, and I am disgusted at the 'I do not like this, so
lets ban it' talk. If you do not like it, thats your right - but that does
not mean you have to ban it.
