    Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Tim David
   (...) I'm not sure that the sites that prompted your ponderings are really AFOL sites. Not a a critism of them, merely a thought that the standards of maturity might not be what you would like to get from an AFOL site Tim (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
   
        Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Kelly McKiernan
     (...) Actually, I've found the behavior of some people on "adult" LEGO sites (like Lugnet) to be less mature than the norm on kid-oriented LEGO sites (like BZPower). There have been incidents and member actions on Lugnet that I wouldn't tolerate on (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
    
         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Leonard Hoffman
      (...) It is has been my experience that maturity and age (being an adult) have nothing to do with each-other. Of course, what defines "maturity" is also widely varied, some taking it to be politeness even in the face of rudeness, and others take it (...)

         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Timothy Gould
     (...) While I can appreciate you point here, Kelly, I have to say that, based on various comments you've made on lugnet in the past, I wouldn't like to frequent a site where your 'standard of maturity' are applied. This post is a pretty good example (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
    
         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Leonard Hoffman
      (...) For clarity's sake - are you saying Kelly's post had a snide comment about other people's behavior? (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)  
    
         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Kelly McKiernan
     (...) Please provide links to my previous applicable comments so I know what you're referring to. Also, let's define "standard of maturity." I'd call it "Play Well," which is something anybody can do - if they so choose. Not everyone does so choose. (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)  
    
         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Timothy Gould
     (...) I now stand with egg on my face. I had you confused with Mark Pappenfuss. I did a quick scan before posting but wasn't as thorough as I ought to have been. My most sincere apologies for not being more careful and thus casting unfair (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)  
    
         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Kelly McKiernan
     (...) Confused with mfuss? Shoot me now! There's no reason to continue breathing... (Actually, despite Mark's acerbic style, he and I get along pretty well.) (...) Not knowing which site(s) were the genesis of this discussion, I subconsciously (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
    
         Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Matthew Crandall
     **Snip** (...) **snip more** (...) See? This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. **grins** And if y'all don't knock it off, I'm gonna hold my breath 'till I turn bley! Play Well and Prosper, Matthew (18 years ago, 12-Apr-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
   
        Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —David Eaton
   (...) To Kelly's point, making the observation about the site *members* always will give you your exceptions. I'm not sure why Kelly chose to specifically mention Lugnet, but you could just as well have said BZPower, FBTB, JLUG, Classic-Castle, (...)

        Re: Should AFOL websites keep to themselves? —Kelly McKiernan
   (...) True, that. All sites have their troublemakers, or those who don't play well together. I mentioned Lugnet because unlike all other sites mentioned, there is no active moderation here - the only recourse is murfling, which happens rarely and (...)
