I had to laugh over the whining in the other thread over how the guidelines kill creativity.
It's good that you laugh about it and hopefully you are not getting angry about it. We need to give all people in that thread a pass, no matter what was said. We all needed to vent our frustrations about the Axanar situation. This has been a mass catharsis that was badly needed.

For myself, I recently joined this forum because I stumbled on the Axanar thread while trying to find someone who had as much indignation as I did about what Alec Peters did. I observed his propaganda and saw him identify any question as hate speech from haters and constantly fail to address his obvious transgressions. I thought I was going insane and that no one else noticed this, but then I found this thread. As a result, I'm much better now.

Hopefully, we are all much better now.

And I said that I didn't see how generating pages upon pages of content couldn't be creative, which you agreed with. (Note that your message is actually longer than the message you replied to.)

Seeing as you've made page after page of replies to me, I don't see how this could be anything other the hypocrisy. You're guilty of just as much "complaining" as I am, if not more.

...Complains @Professor Zoom. Do you not understand how hypocrisy works?

I'm not sure you're aware of this, but being brutally tortured to death should not be the threshold we should have to cross before we have the right to disagree with something. I shouldn't have to wait for the threat of a war crime before I have the right to offer criticism, nor does what I criticize even need to be a technical violation of the law. Free speech could not exist in the first place under such circumstances.

As for the point of bringing up such extreme restrictions in the first place, I was pointing out that there are, in fact, situations where restrictions can demonstrably result in less creativity. Though I feel my point is still valid, I concede that it's a bit "Godwin's Law", so touche in that regard.

Who said I wasn't making a movie? I'm just not making a STAR TREK movie. Or are you going to argue that it's creatively more challenging to write a short fan film instead of a feature-length pilot where you set up your own universe?

If you really cared about how I spent my creative energies, you wouldn't waste my time with tiresome messages like this. And how is refusing to violate the legal copyrights of CBS NOT the "moral high ground"? Explain that one to me.

Hard pass. You enjoy shouting from the moral high ground. I’ve got work to finish. Because, creators create.

You're the one who brought up the "moral high ground". I don't see why I should be the one to explain YOUR claims. And if you were really concerned with effective use of your time, you wouldn't take the time to get in one last potshot. But go ahead and humble brag some more about how creative you are without actually taking your own advice about creating instead of complaining.

Nope, still a hard pass. The other thread was closed. I don’t know why you felt the need to drag in posts from there.

It’s like bringing the Borg onto Star Trek: Enterprise.

Still wasting my time and yours to post nothing.

You feel the need to reply to me, yet somehow it's some big mystery why I'd reply to you. More hypocrisy. As for why I posted here, you're being deliberately disingenuous. This is obviously a continuation of the previous thread. The link to this thread is in the last message of that one.

It's more like bringing up Spock in Star Trek III. Or did you actually think this thread was about the Electric Boogaloo?

One thing I have learned in this and the proceeding thread is that some people either:
1. Have a lot of time on their hands; enough such that they can write a book in each post.
2. Can type at warp speed.

Either way, I'm not interested enough and don't want to spend (waste) my time reading a long, long post. I'm sure I'm alone in this thinking.
 
What do people think of making the original thread a sticky thread? You know, for references puroses, and...reasons?
 
Gentlemen! PMs are lovely. Kindly use them while the rest of us enjoy the stylistic oeuvre of Linda Blair in the eponymous film:

Yikes, can I get my 3:22 minutes back?

Me thinks this new ship needs a shakedown cruise!
