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 mean badmouth.
|
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
|
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 BZP.
The standards for maturity don’t always seem to apply to Lugnet.
|
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.
|
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.
| |
This post is a pretty good example really. Do you consider it mature to make
snide comments about other people’s behaviour?
|
Which snide comments are you referring to? I was making a general statement
based on observed behavior on various LEGO enthusiast web sites, with a specific
(factual) observation that about this particular site. Any perceived snideness
was the result of reader assumptions rather than author intent.
And to short-circuit future accusations, no, I don’t consider myself mature, and
hope I never do. Neener neener.
