  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) I was recently involved in something similar, when I took exception to the characterization of one site (Site A) by members of another, much larger site (Site B). Frankly, the postings struck me as petty and really kind of snide, and I posted (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) Well, here's an important distinction: who's doing the saying? And in what capacity? Let's say AFOLS.com is run by Mortimer. And a frequent visitor to the AFOLS.com is Jezebelle. And there's another site called LEGOGEEKS.com, which they hate. (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
(...) 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. (...)

  Should AFOL websites keep to themselves?
 
While not naming any specific sites, I would be interested in hearing the Community's thoughts on whether you think it right or wrong for one AFOL site to talk about another AFOL site. For purposes of this discussion, we will assume that by talk I (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: peeron inventory
 
(...) If it was not you who sent the picture, I am sorry. I do agree Now that I have said some things that I should not have. Those are the examples you quoted above. I was fustrated at months of waiting for changes to appear and Dan didn't answer (...) (18 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: peeron inventory
 
--snip-- (...) Hi John, Thanks for taking that on board. Noone is saying your contribution isn't worthwhile and I don't think anyone minds your regular updates of what you've done. If you stick to these I think we will all be happier. It also means (...) (18 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: peeron inventory
 
(...) I differ with you here. Serious collectors need to know. You have no idea how many are wrong. This is not impolite. It is a systemic problem.

(...) Yep--I'm the Mad Dave around here! Worked long and hard for that title and I'm not willing to give it up to any old Dave! Dave K (18 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: peeron inventory
 
(...) Actually, although it was impolite to call me "Mad Dave", I was very amused at the title. Perhaps you've confused the myriad of Dave's involved, or perhaps you have this vision of me where I'm shouting at the top of my lungs or something. (...)
