A lot of people have said this, but I'd be interested to see them actually draw
lines and point out these so-called "factions". There seem to be only two that
really exist- those who are discussing something they find interesting (for
whatever reason), and those who want the discussion to stop- to whom I say
"don't read the thread".
Snipping out a bit, we come to:

I'm actually in agreement with this thought, at least currently. It seems to
be the path of least resistance for TLC.

Well, actually, there could be tremendous political consequences and headaches
for TLC no matter what they do. I've been over their choices and possible
negative reactions before, though, so I won't retread that ground.

So would I. Unfortunately, when Lego took a license to represent real people,
it made it impossible.

That's a rather heavy accusation. Can you point to where you feel this
happened?
