Let me type this again to really get the meaning of it.
"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."...

Sir, isn't that exactly what you are doing?  You insult the work of one person
to create a flame war to then prove that YOU are right. Don't you find it
strange?

I don't want you to leave, be banished or anything like that.  Just have a
little class.  If you don't like something make a suggestion not a slam.  If
you feel superior as a LEGO creator, go send LEGO a resume and work to make
things better.    Here's a question for you.  Are you ever wrong about anyting?
