Calum,
That's my thinking. As long as the good outweighs the bad, which as far as
the online AFOL community is concerned it does by a mile.
So what can we do about some of the nastiness that has arisen here at
Lugnet? Well, look no further than this very thread! I refer to Rob
Antonishen's response, where he objects to my use of the word "tragic" to
describe the recent color change. I could *respond* to his post, where I
would point out the obvious of how my use of the word tragic is squarely
within the context of Lego, and not the world at large, or state what I
think he can do with his post, etc. But I will do none of that! Instead, I
will ignore the post, and will use the time I would have used to respond to
the post to instead peruse some MOCs that were posted to brikshelf.
Remeber the Mandroid!
