I’m not sure right or wrong have much to do with it, given human nature.
Right now, I could easily name three pairs of LEGO-related web sites where your
example could apply, including one I run. So I don’t think this is anything new.
Personally, I stay out of that stuff. As long as the mudslinging doesn’t get me
messy, I don’t really care what site A is saying about site B.
“What happens on Lugnet, stays on Lugnet.” ;)
The internecine squabbling between sites is natural in a fragmented community
like this, where you get groups and subgroups who sometimes rub against each
other. As long as it doesn’t erupt into a massive multi-site flamewar, it’s just
as well to let each spat run its course.
Lacking any central authority, I’m not really sure there’s anything anyone could
or should do about it anyway.
