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.
|
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
aspersions.
| |
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.
|
Being factual doesn’t in any way change snideness. I was specifically referring
to the additional sentence at the end after the main paragraph. Even taking off
my mistaken view that you have said similar things in the past I still read it
as a bit snide (ie. slyly disparaging). It may not be intended as such but its
apparent tone and aloneness gives me that impression.
| |
And to short-circuit future accusations, no, I don’t consider myself mature,
and hope I never do. Neener neener.
Kelly

And once again sorry for my mistake.
