You're assuming everyone here is as mature as you. Which discounts the young
LEGO fans who may be lurking in .castle, and be put off by such a post. Yes,
maybe their parents should explain what such a post means, but if a young kid
chooses not to become involved in the community because of it (even if only
temporary), does that make it a good outcome?
I think as an important member of the community, you should take more time to
consider the pros and cons of such a post. If you want to tell him directly,
please do so - via email. The response from him will probably be the same, the
result for the comunity will be less negative.
I don't consider that "politically correct", I consider it "more positive for
the community".
