I don't read Bionicle posts and I assume they don't read technic one's ...

I am here to tell you that your assumption is in error. I read the Technic
posts (the ones that aren't screeds about devolution of parts and the like)
and get much from them.

That's right. And your point is ... what? That by dint of hating a toy*, you
should enjoy the privilege of defining Lugnet groups? This is the same as if
I said, "I hate those [fill in some random steering part**] let's assign
them to some ghetto somewhere the other side of Duplo.***" Where's the
"friendly" in that?

If you can't integrate the new parts into your play, that's fine. But it is
manifestly uncool to try trash my enthusiasm.

* A phenomenon that I will never understand. It's a toy. You play with it,
you don't pitch a fit over the fact that it exists because pitching a fit
ISN'T FUN.

** Which I don't. It's an example not to be taken literally. I wish I didn't
feel I had to explain that.

*** Apologies to the the Duplo-heads. I find big bricks useful. And the
train parts make good ... you get the point. It's all good.

(...) This is a complex argument to start with. For Lego the company, Bionicle has been very, very good. For the proliferation of Lego Technic sets that are big and fancy, perhaps Bionicle is bad. I could accept the argument that Lego will produce (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) The reason Bionicle and technic should not be in the same group is because thir is no cross-fertilisation between the two. Their is also an age gap between the two products. All that happens is that our respective posts get in each others way (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
