  Damien,

  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!" "Space!" "Castle!" "Space!" and
  the website even indicates that with its "Castle. Bad." line.  In a
  way, they're picking on themselves too.  Were it a profanity-laced
  hateful diatribe or an attack on people involved with .castle,
  then I'd agree with you.  This, however, is harmless and (I think)
  quite creative and constructive an expression.  (After all, a smashed
  LEGO Castle can be rebuilt, bigger and better!)

  So my recommendation is to lighten up.  Nobody here is suggesting
  that castle seriously be done away with; a lot of .spaceheads are
  .castleheads too.  In short, a sense of humor and an appreciation
  of the nuances of this particular gag (which may be harder if your
  primary language is *not* English) will carry you much farther than
  this indignation that in fact propagates the very problem it claims
  to decry.

      original topic's picture?

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 like it.

Regards,

Damien

<<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)
