Big Whoop, and, gee thanks for Dragging my name into this for no good reason.
I warn you, please do not use my name at all for any reason in this forum
for purposes that advance your own pleasures. I build for the sake of
building and creating.
Whatever happened in the past I should think would be worked out between
gentleman. You sir again, prevoke my thoughts yet again into a manner
non-consistant to why I joined Lugnet. Further more the fun for me in
visiting Lugnet is seeing the true love of Lego. You tend to sour that
expirence for me when I come accross the vast sums of non-lego breakdowns of
opinions.
What else can I say, I don't care where this post was or where it is going
or who it is about. You bring my name up and try to make your self look good
or use me to prove a point.
You know I worked for 6 months building my GG Mech. It was hard to make. I
care alot about it. It would be nice if you were to post to my publication
on .mecha, I guess you guys rather be over here picking eachother apart.
Thanks alot, really.
Don't you guys get it?

Thanks for using my name to make your self look good. Like using me like a
door step. Where I come from you may be on the other side. It's about Respect.
Why are you prevoking me accross the keyboard?
LEGOMASTER
Caught you using my name 3 months later!!!!!!!
YOUR BUSTED.
