Hey all,

I’ve noticed lately that there has been a surge in the amount of posts built on the theme of censorship and controlling what people build. Now I really don’t want to cause a fuss considering there are censors throughout the world but for some reason censors for MOCs seems a little different. Personally in my opinion they should post elsewhere since the censors don’t really stick to the ideals that LEGO stands for. I would like to compare the censors’ posts to the censorship under Goebbels. The first thing that comes to mind when I see the latest page-long post is what they represent, arrogance, condescension and stupidity. Now I don’t want to say that I’m against stupidity or the right to display it on LUGNET but I would personally like to see it posted on maj.com with a disclaimer rather than Brickshelf where tons of kids are going to see it.

In short I would rather see kids enjoying LEGO rather than being stopped by a censor mistaking a MOC for the real thing.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

(...) I don't follow what you are talking about. First off, are you saying I am a censor? Who else is in this group of censors? How did you determine who's a censor and who isn't? Keep in mind that I have never argued that Richie shouldnt have the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Hey all, I’ve noticed lately that there has been a serge in the amount of MOC's built on the theme of guns and assault rifles. Now I really don't want to cause a fuss considering there are weapons throughout the Lego line but for some reason life (...)
