I can not simply e-mail the creations to you because I do not know how nor
am I certain if I contain the knowledge or the tools to download the
pictures to you, Geordan.

First of all you wouldn't download them to me, you'd zip and email them to
me so I could upload them for you to brickshelf.

I'm assuming that you're using windows correct? I'm also assuming that your
home computer has internet access, right? Do you have a digital camera or a
normal camera? or will you be sending me the pictures in CAD format?

I also am not sure how to access Microsoft Internet Explorer nor am I even
sure if Microsoft Internet Explorer still exists on my computer.

Well if you know what a hard drive is, and how to install computer games
then you definitely know where ms explorer is and how to run it. I think you
know enough, please don't play dumb on me. I'm am not willing to help you if
you're not going to co-operate. downloading a CAD program is as easy a
downloading or installing one of you're computer games. And you don't have
to know any computer languages to download any of this! I know you are
capable of all of loading and sending these pictures to me Jesse, no more
excuses please!

BTW, how are you using LUGNET if you don't know how to run a basic browser
like ms explorer? And no Jesse I'm not agains't you, I just need you to stop
playing dumb and co-operate with me. If you don't feel comfortable showing
us your creations that's fine, just tell us that you don't feel comfortable
showing us your creations but don't back it with another excuse of yours.
You don't have to worry about your creations being judged or living up to
your ego, that doesn't really matter to me or hopefully to anyone else. If
you have talked boastfully about your crations or said things that were
misleading about yourself, admit it and show us your creations anyway. Who
cares about a stinkin' ego anyway. So on behalf of everyone in .space, we
welcome your creations with open arms regardless of how well built they are
or how cool they are.

Another thing, if this Gaea foundation thing that you have talked about or
the 900 stud long spacecraft you mentioned, are false and imagined, admit
it. Your fellow Lugneteers won't ridicule you if you come clean and admit
the truth. I know that there is some misleading info coming out of you
somewhere because your posts don't go together in alot of cases. If you
decide to hide the truth and cover it up with more excuses, people will
eventually begin to hate you and despise you because you talk arrogantly.
But if you admit it, stop doing it, and tell us the truth, all will be
forgotten and you can go on without a stupid ego or a bad rep. Now which
route sounds better?

"The truth will set you free"

The reason
that I am not sure why Microsoft Internet Explorer exists on my computer is
not related to Lugnet or to The LEGO Company in any way but all I can say is
watch out for those compact discs that have many video games on there
because they can and will destroy your hard drive.  I am sorry that this
irritates you but I am equally irritated that I do not know much about
computer languages or loading MLCad.

I have not built the nine hundred to twelve hundred stud long space craft
yet but I guess I should have clarified that it was simply a personal goal
for me to build such a craft.  Your statement about me being a liar and
arrogant, however, is wrong because I simply can not have all of the
conditions met that I need in my life.

I am SO sorry Jesse, I can see how you would have thought that I was calling
you a arrogant liar, but I really don't think that about you, I was just...
well... being a total jerk and I am really sorry.

Consider the famous experiment of a Greek scientist and mathematician.  This
man, although I can not remember his name, went and measured the angle of
the sun at Athens and then went to Alexandria.  He noticed that the angle of
the Sun was slightly different at Athens than from Alexandria.  (We do know
that we have not considered the amount of time that he spent travelling from
Athens to Alexandria but the experiment worked at any rate of this
discussion.)  The scientist found that the difference between the two angles
reflected what he suspected all of this time conducting the experiment.  His
conclusion and, through the ceaseless hours of scientific study, our common
sense answer was that the earth was round and not flat as a pancake yet this
man and Christopher Columbus did not consider another source that confirmed
that the earth was round and this source was the Bible.  Job 40:11 says that
"The Earth hangs upon nothing," meaning that it is not flat and it has a
placed orbit.

I am not trying to convert you to a religion, I just wanted to prove a
point.

Cool! there ain't nothin to convert me to brother! I admire your ability to
quote versus off the top of your head! I am not yet at Job in my reading.

Just because I do not have all of the materials together that I need
does not mean that I am a liar or arrogant towards any person on Lugnet.

I am so sorry Jesse!  I really don't think that you are a arrogant liar,
those earlier posts of mine were admitently foolish and I am sorry

I >may have regretted some of the statements that I have said on Lugnet (and
even so, I chose my words carefully because they could have been much worse
which would have proved a greater immaturity in my life) •  but whether you
have is another story that you will have to live with for the rest of your
lives.

Well my earlier post to you today answers that for you!

  I may not have all of the materials but I do have my own ways of
building LEGO creations.  I may be too bossy in the constructions of other
people but I guess I simply have a more elaborate interpretation of LEGO
Space craft and vehicle ideas.

Everyone is different and everyone has the ability to be who they are,
unfortunately I was not following this statement earlier today.

I want to be a good LEGO model builder but I need for you to quit being rude
and arrogant and then claiming that I am the same even though at times I can
concur with you.  What will we accomplish arguing on Lugnet when we can be
building?  Even IF I showed you my creations, some of you will still say
that they are horrible and right now, not too many great events are occuring
in my life.

I am so incredibly sorry! Please accept my very sincere apologies to you. I
was being extremely rude and offensive and I am very sorry. I am sorry to
hear about that last statement, I was obviously not being very thoughtful or
kind and was acting like a complete jerk.
