Weak?
PREVENTATIVE CARE IS THE SOLE PURPOSE OF LUBRICANTS.
Well, with LEGO, anyway.
So you would mean to say:
"Iain's LEGO was less dammaged in that contest because he wisely chose to
protect his sliding members through lubrication. Therefore, he must be at a
penalty, over X, who choose not to lubricate and destroyed $20 worth of
beams."

Do you even *read* what I say before replying? I'm talking about saving my
LEGO from being destroyed. You're comparing that to destroying someone elses
creation.

You just said "we", and pointed out that it's not a public debate.
Chris is the one who brought this up.
Who then, praytell, is "we"?

That's not how we scored. Or rather, that's not how *I* scored. I guess our
results are skewed from Saturday?

Maybe I won't?
