That's what some people thought he was anyway. This Eric guy, something about LUGnet and making an ass of himself. He faded into obscurity, a relic of brickshelf and the aforementioned lego users group network... A vaguely loathed figure of the past.
But now this: paedophilia - it's the one thing the 'community' (hah) really fears, I mean, we are already adults who play with childrens toys so it's not that great a leap in the minds of muggles. Anyway, reactions have varied among the 'community' (hah hah) : some have laughed, some have cried, some have frothed at the mouth with outrage as people tend to with stories like this while most people I'll wager have simply frowned, sighed and closed the tab.
But! Guys, guys, innocent until proven, remember? Definitely. Not that it matters though, with an article like that one the damage is done, if he is released his life will probably never be the same again. And what about the damage done to the 'community' (hah hah hah) ? Minimal, in all likelihood, unless this reaches the mainstream international press, negligible.
anyway, I'm off to build for the CCCVIII
