Why is it equitable for Lego to cater to Wal*Mart, but not to small shops? Why do companies bend over backwards for important/famous/rich customers? They don’t need to, but if they do, they’re more likely to get good press. If Dan wants a positive public opinion, he should bend over backwards to accomidate Larry. If he doesn’t care, he shouldn’t.

I’m not counting, but I’m aware of a lot of posts which say Dan was correct. I’d also suggest that there will be a lot of BL users who are indifferent to the mess Larry has got himself in. A further group is probably unaware (despite Larry’s efforts) of what has occurred. Within that context, I’m not sure how relevant your point is.

Personalities aside, do you not agree that dealing swiftly and decisively with “malicious” intend may actually improve buyer/seller confidence in the system?

(...) Hey, that's true-- but what you're also not counting are the number of posts that are favoring Larry. And that's my point about bad press. There are people out there who (if things like this continue) who will abandon BL. Heck, on the BL (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.market.brickshops)

(...) But prudent to what end? Because Larry desperately values his BL store? Or maybe because he wanted to bring the subject to light, aggresively if need be? My guess is that for Larry, it's the principle of the thing, not whether or not his store (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.market.brickshops, FTX)
