That’s it right there. All I am saying is that I wish when Allister came up
with his idea, he decided not to build it as to err on the side of good
taste. But he chose to build it, it sparked controversy as he must have known
it would, and here we are.

Controversy? You’re the only one making a fuss here, John.

And let me state right here-- germane to this
discussion is the fact that LEGO is a child’s toy. I think we have an extra
responsibility to create wholesome MOCs that are intended to be displayed to
the GP. That may sound prissy, but that is what I believe, and that is what
I advocate, and that is what I do.

Very prissy. Maybe even prudish. How about patronising? But hey, it’s your life.
Yes, lego is a child’s toy. But, I am not a child, and neither are you, which
makes it also an adult’s toy. It’s even considered an ‘artistic medium’ by some.
If you think it’s only for children, you should sell your collection right now
and get on with pursuits more suitable for your age group. Fishing perhaps?
Maybe Canasta.
If you don’t like that I build things that I as an adult like, and show them
here amongst my peer group, then too bad. Maybe you’d be happier on the lego.com
forum or wherever it is child lego fans congregate.
