None of what I said was real, I don't actually think Jude's page was
bad, frankly I don't have an opinion of it either way.  I used it to
prove a point though.  My point is that there are people in the Lego
community who although put on a smiling face are willing to try to
completely destroy a person for the sheer satisfaction of trying to
make themseleves believe they're right.  I was willing to sacrifice
what people think of me in order to do that.  It was a choice I made.
You see, even if I was completely thrown out of Lugnet, it wouldn't
matter, I made the point I wanted to.  Now you have to live with it.
