For this reason I’d very much like to have a place to meet other devoted
LEGO supporters who also have a weakness for Playmobil to share our

it was possible to incorporate a newsgroup lugnet.playmobil where we

Does Playmobil produce Lego system-compatible elements? If so, such
discussion would be entirely appropriate in lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands,
and if there is enough interest and traffic in that group, perhaps
creating a more specific subgroup would be appropriate.

precisely! :)
I wonder why no one else can see it?
Also, as Larry had suggested, if the Lavender Brick Society actually existed,
then they should qualify to have a Lugnet forum under the .org heirarchy. I
think this is all Teddy was asking for.
The reason I called everyone homophobic (granted, it was an hyperbole--no one is
actually threatening gay AFOLs, that I have seen) is because I think people are
overreacting to Teddy’s request. Many have assumed there is going to be some
Lugnet.gay discussion group formed, and they want to stop it. Well, that wasn’t
even proposed!
Anyway, I think Teddy’s request is a very healthy thing for the AFOL community.
It means we are really growing. We now represent such a large slice of our
world in general that we are having discussions about LGBT groups. I think that
means we are less of a specific fringe hobbyist group and are more mainstream.
That’s cool to me.
