  A bad taste picture (Re: Space Rocks!!!)
 
(...) Hello Chris, I am also a classic-space fan. Ok, space rocks. Unfortunately, I am not glad to tell you I do not really appreciate your new site: www.classic-space.com Castle fans deserve more respect. What's the need to crash one favorite (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: A bad taste picture (Re: Space Rocks!!!)
 
(...) Just wanted to point out that your post wasn't very constructive either. It reads as rather brash and snobbish. You could have instead offered some ideas for other pictures. I do agree the pic isn't in the best taste, but I'm not going to (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: A bad taste picture (Re: Space Rocks!!!)
 
(...) I think there's a definite difference between lighthearted rivalry (which exists online between Castle fans and Space fans) and showing sincere disrespect. As a person who leans towards Space but can appreciate well-built castles, I found the (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) You may find it "distasteful," but actually I found it rather funny. I think everyone involved in the "space vs. castle" debate realizes that it's tongue-in-cheek (as evidenced by the fact that the only real line of reasoning is "Castle!" (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: A bad taste picture? -- nah! (Re: Space Rocks!!!)
 
(...) Hello all, I am sure Chris understand what responsability is naming this picture www.classic-space.com I have no doubt he will soon change it. Nothing can diminish my confidence in that. The "Space Rocks" is a really good candidate. Everyone (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)

<<SNIPAGE>> (...) *sigh*... I think I now live in a world where no one thinks "Airplane!", "Blazing Saddles", "SpaceBalls", "Young Frankenstein" or "The Naked Gun" is funny anymore. How dare a joke poke fun at anything "sensitive". Oh, and the (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  The Castle vs. Space war rages on...
 
(...) <big guy way in the back raises his hand> I do! Oh, I almost forgot.... Castle. And Space. Both great themes. (*gasp*...a treaty perhaps???) nah. Castle. :-) -Chris <running back to .castle and hiding amongst his dragonses and horsies> (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Ditto :) (...) Hrm, that gives me an idea. A space-based castle, with jet powered horses and antigravity hovercarts! Yes! Brilliant!! Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Hello Chris, I trusted you from the start. I apologize for the demanding tone. I just thought the shorter the better. May be retaliation would be funny. Whereas my post was definitely not. Regards, Damien (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: A bad taste picture (Re: Space Rocks!!!)
 
(...) Well, I for one did not realize there even was such a Castle vs Space rift around here. I happen to like Space, Castle, and even Town and Trains, and an occasional Pirate or Wild West set is okay too. Because of the nature of my latest big (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)

  Re: A bad taste picture (Re: Space Rocks!!!)
 
(...) And I think that line has been crossed. It is not just this picture, though. There are certain people who can't even let a person speak about castle without bringing up space in a way to put castle down. It is uncalled for and abusive. I'll be (...)

(...) People can *take offense* at jokes, *become annoyed* or *become pissed off*. Jokes don't do the offending or annoying. Its a choice which is the responsibility of the person on the receiving end. [1] If anything has gone too far, I don't think (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.space)
