In fact I know nothing about JLUG
except that it was formed in order to facilitate a more adult-oriented
atmosphere that wasn’t appreciated here on LUGNET. But please, correct me
if I’m wrong!

Why the sigh? It says JLUG is not for children and there are no rules. Fine.
Now this part I don’t get:
“The JLUG is a group of Lego enthusiast that are not geographically centred but
certainly work together through online communication. After joking around for
awhile it started making sense to have a group that could participate online.
Especially for those unable to attend regular Lug meetings due to distance or
other factors or for those that just can’t seem to join enough LUGs.”
I assume this joking around was ONLINE already, so I don’t quite understand why
another forum was needed (unless it was a different TYPE of forum, one where
smack was encouraged, no holds barred; that type of thing)
Correct me if I’m wrong.
In any case, I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again nonetheless. I’m glad
JLUG exists; it gives people who like to cuss and engage in “mature” manners a
forum to do it.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t, but he’s made his point, and is now merely
repeating it ad nauseum. But I see that sort of shenanigans is perfectly ok
with you. Isn’t it great that Lugnet’s big enough for such a diverse
community?
|
I don’t see his posts as intentionally mischievous at all. But then, I
think I’ve gotten to “know” Dave over the years to know if they were.
|
Are you saying he’s being accidentally mischievous?
|
No. You seem to think he’s being intentionally mischievous. I don’t see them
as an example of mischief at all.
| |
| |
But not with you. Not that I wouldn’t like to get to know you better, but I
don’t have a good feel from where you are coming. For instance: is your
last statement mocking? I can’t tell.
|
No, you probably can’t.
|
But you won’t say, either. It is hard to find the person behind a wall of wry
humor and sarcasm. For instance, I read the manner in which e posts, and all I
can do is shake my head. All I come up with is koo-koo over cocoa puffs.
| |
| |
That’s how it comes off to me, anyway.
But I was wrong about your last intent. We seem to only relate under
adversarial circumstances. Pity.
|
You chose to butt in with the adversarial stuff. I figured you liked it that
way. :shrug:
|
Adversarial is the wrong word (on my part). I “butt in” to let you know that
Dave wasn’t being intentionally mischievous as you suggested. You’ve got that
wrong. My intentions are always to clarify and understand, not engage in
debate for its own sake.
