So far he's right, by me.He also said that the first season of Discovery was the best first season of any Trek show ever.

I thought it was a ganglion, must be a special type but Michael was giving him grief over it. I guess it is part of his 'breeding'.
Personally, I always mistake a pre-ganglionic fiber for apost-ganglionic nerve.
You've got me there (I have zero medical knowledge beyond Dr. Google). I just remember having this ganglion on my skinny wrist when I was a kid and Dad talking about hitting it with a Bible except we didn't have a heavy Bible but a rather scary looking Webster Dictionary. (Dad wasn't a doctor either).
I would think that someone who's a mod would want a little more order in their space. People calling it STD are trolling (and admitted doing so). But, I guess that doesn't matter here.
Oh man starmike.. can I offer you some advice? Just roll with it and try not to let the STD thing hit a nerve. It's going to happen. Some will use it and some will go Disco and I'm pedantic and will type out the whole Discovery word.
STD may be a bad joke, but it’s far from trolling.
Disco, however...now THAT’s comedy.

I lost the humor of "STD" because my work uses it to mean "short term disability". After a few years, you get all the giggles out from hearing that "so-an-so is out on STD". I tend to STD for Star Trek: Discovery because TV/DVR guides have used DSC for Discovery Channel for so long that it is my first association. And Disco is a non-starter...
Order like me asking you multiple times to get over your petty and overly defensive obsession with bossing people around about not using a silly acronym for the show and you stubbornly refusing? Order like me telling you that it's not your place as a poster to accuse others of trolling? That kind of order?
Probably, but I still found examples for Voyager (I prefer both VOY and TFF, respectively). STD will only become confusing once we reach the 500th movie.
Let me put it another way.
If people here are calling it "STD" to troll, why allow that to continue? I've been running forums for over 20 years and that kind of behavior looks like the people here that run the forum don't care. Going after people that want the forum to be nice and friendly is not the way to go. I've reported trolls and the trolling continues.
Last I checked, this is a Star Trek forum, not a Troll Star Trek forum. Is that how you want people on the outside to see this place?
IMO.
You know that we can look up reported posts by the name of the person who reported it, right? You haven't reported anyone for trolling or for using the term "STD", so there's not been a chance for us to decide whether or not your assessment was valid or should be rejected.
So now that we've got that BS claim out of the way, just because you've decided that something is trolling doesn't make it so. Some people can use the term STD to troll, especially if one poster makes an enormous melodramatic scene out of it and let's everyone know, "Hey, this is how you get under my skin" and essentially provokes the very problem he's trying to avoid (hint, hint). So far that hasn't happened though. Some people have jokingly used the term without targeting or involving you and you've overreacted to it and made it all about you retroactively, but that's not the same thing.
You're not going to get your way by constantly being the squeaky wheel here. We will continue to judge this on a case by case basis but using the term STD in and of itself is not considered trolling. Period. Now drop it or you will be warned. I've had enough of arguing this with you. It's been going on across multiple pages in multiple threads and in PMs and there's nothing left to say. The only one creating an unwelcome environment here is you by unnecessarily elevating this to serious business when it's at worst a tacky joke. Lighten up.
Yeah, except I never reported for trolling due to using STD, nor did I say I did. I just said I reported for trolling. I'm sure you can check THAT and validate it.
BTW: That's TWICE you came after me for saying something I didn't.
Also, I never got a PM from you. So there's THAT.
Oh, FFS, some people calling it 'STD' is a minor annoyance at most, but several treads being derailed by whining about it is becoming rather intolerable. Just stop. (And yes, I realise that I'm now part of the derail, but it's not like the rails were even visible any longer.)

Early in its run, The Next Generation went by the STTNG abbreviation.
I apologize to everyone for ever bringing it up.
Have there been latin titles before? The only one I can think of offhand is the one involving Section 31 on DS9. I do like that they've put a lot of thought into the titles. It's like an extra easter egg. Something to speculate about before the episode airs.

The Mods have better things to do than to hand out warnings and infractions because people use the term STD. I've used STD a few times myself for brevity and I love discovery. Not everyone who uses the term is trolling and whether they are or not is totally subjective and reliant on multiple factors. Just let it go, mate.
I think the deep space nine episode is the only one. I'm racking my brain but can't think of any others.
Yes, there were eight Latin titles.
With the exception of 'Inter arma enim silent leges' they are all pretty bad episodes. Might be why I forgot them
