I'm disappointed by the amount of negative and sarcastic posts generated by this
one simple request - a request to have a place to interact with others who have
similar aptitudes and experiences. Obviously, as referenced in the initial post,
it would be LEGO-related, and as such is perfectly valid to request within the
largest AFOL online "home".
If this were another type of group - say, cancer-surviving LEGO enthusiasts - I
doubt there would be such a strong negative reaction. Just something to think
about.
