Doesn't really answer my question, though. If it has no impact on the greater universe, then what does it matter what universe it is part of?
What are your thoughts about seeing the prime universe again?

I was ridiculed and made to feel stuck in the past by smug know it alls for even suggesting Star Trek could exist as anything other than the JJ Abrams movies in a thread that was created a few days before Discovery was announced
I don't think it's a case of "told ya so" but more a case of "stick that in your pipe and smoke it, bitches!"
Or maybe you're just making more of an issue about it than it needs to be. So you feel vindicated. Yay you. Now you can move on.

Oh please. Anyone who would have personally attacked you the way you describe would have been warned by a moderator. Sounds like you just have a victim complex. Nobody can make you feel intimidated; only you can choose to feel that way.

Well, that's certainly a healthy way to channel your aggression, I suppose.

LOL. What's this - the Bill Clinton school of defining "is?"
Has to be, when you have people who rage over a haircut not being what they imagined.
I promise you, most folks won't be able to tell them apart
It's our timeline and not someone's else's. We will know the creators are connected to a point of view about us and not anyone else far, far away. We will know they have a sense of consequence and, dare I say it, optimism, I hope, about where we might be headed. And not anyone else.
The look and feel of the show itself is like the skinning of a website. Change the UI - the facade - all you want to remain in an attractive contemporary context, but the content is the same.

That doesn't make any damned sense. Star Trek (the concept) is (kinda) about hope and optimism, not the minutiae. The minutiae isn't what makes Star Trek, "Star Trek".
An interstellar alliance that involves humanity in an important way is "Star Trek", that the Federation is founded in 2161 is useless minutiae. It should be able to be moved and reimagined as the story requires. Thinking it as anything more turns it into useless dogma.
Wow. The "old continuity" Trek is "finished" and "fossilized". A comment made exactly on the 50th anniversary of the "oldTrek". I'm left speechless. Don't know what to say to that really so I'll use your words:
I didn't mention "minutiae" and I address that in my second paragraph anyway. You didn't wait the requisite five minutes.

There's eight minutes between our posts.
Exactly so.
I watched three episodes of TOS yesterday. It isn't coming back, it is done. It is still enjoyable to watch but time and society stand still for no one. Which brings another point, does anyone actually think this show is actually going to match up with the "feel" of "The Cage" and TOS? Society has changed a lot in the intervening fifty years. People who are dancing now, may have a hard time reconciling what will be two very different treatments of the same time period.
Sometimes, the truth hurts.
It matters for the characters if you are interested in them. That really AN answer.
However. I can answer your question also with one of the first things Fuller said at the SDCC: it didn't matter WHAT timeline it was set in. The story could fit in either. It's convenient to set it in Prime.
RAMA
It happened in the JJTrek forum. So no.
Sounds like you're a douchebag.
I wasn't intimidated. I was mocked. I never said I was shitting my pants over it.
I have no aggression. What I do have is a sense of humour. You can't buy that
It really isn't. One can't be interested in the characters unless a hodge-podge of fictional dates created over the last fifty years comes with them?
Seriously, it comes down to an attachment to a fictional set of dates. It feels like Bender from Futurama, who doesn't want to change the past because he doesn't want to have to memorize "new kings".
There's a mod there just like in every other forum.
Reported.
Sure sounded like it.

Calling people bitches is your way of having a sense of humor? Okey dokie.
You mentioned timeline, which is a collection of the minutiae.
Indeed.
Attempting to give a shit....
ATTEMPT FAILED
Maybe you should get your hearing checked out
I achieve this state of existence by not having a stick rammed up my buttocks. Try it
