I wrote a whole essay on this for school a couple of months back, maybe I'll past it in here sometime. ;)

Total purist. I'm a little open to people who use illegal connections, mainly on how many there are and what the product looks like, but most of the time, I prefere total purism. Non purists are interesting creatures. I don't mind that people have made designs compatable with LEGO pieces, but the people who overuse them. The creativity is in the engineer of the piece, not the consumer. So then in turn, I don't like that nonpurist peices are made because then they get overused. Perhaps if one person made their own good looking designs and only personally used them without mass production for the masses, I could like the pieces, but I don't think I could bring myself to do that.
