Ha!! Thanks, Dave! Richie’s post is classic! I can’t believe it’s been 4
years already... Now, it needs to be updated. (hint hint, Richie) ;)

Wow. Four years.
It’s funny you should mention it: I’ve discussed a possible revision/redo of
Traumatic Events a couple of times in the last few months.
One discussion was about a possible update to take into account various
traumatic events which may have occurred since (or possibly even slightly
before) the original post.
On reflection, I think an update would detract from the original post, and is
not something I’m likely to do (although I would dearly love to be able to go
and fix the typos in my original post).
Essentially, Traumatic Events was about applying the then contemporary
reaction (much of the comment by Legofan X was fragments of posts on LEGNUT –
you just have to know where to look) to historical changes which had attracted
no similar reactions at the time, with a few extra funny bits added for interest
(such as the Pythonesque shouting obscenities in the direction of Denmark). But
the subsequent changes have all been met with much the same reaction. I think
you could happily swap the comments on the latter day traumatic events and no
one would really notice the difference – it doesn’t matter whether it’s brightly
coloured knights or the end of 9V trains or the prevalence of computer generated
images rather than photographs on sets, or colour coded long technic pins:
People don’t like the change, and wheel out the same comments - “how could they
do such a stupid thing?”, “the company didn’t ask us, its greatest fans”,
“this’ll cost the company money” etc etc. Ho hum.
I’m so angry with the community’s hackneyed responses to every minor change that
I don’t know what I’m going to do but I’ll certainly be writing less satirical
commentaries on it in future.
Cheers
