^ I think you've got the right idea. Do not feed the troll! 
Besides, it does go somewhere in "Emissary."
after so many polite rebuttals and the lack of coherent evidince to support the OP, at what point does everyone just stop posting and hope he'll go away?
is it worth a try?
"Do not feed the troll." Let's do it.
I personally want to watch him eat his words... but you're probably right.
I'm sure most people who have posted in this thread are fully prepared to engage in debate about direct critisims of DSN.
Do you think it had poor characterisation?
Do you think it was inconsistant?
Do you think it weakend a villan?
Not that any of those occured that often.
As for the Borg question and did VOY weaken them as a Villian, I think they probably did. Does that mean all Borg stories in VOY were bad no of course not.
To perhaps draw a parallel, the Dalek's in DW have suffered similar critism is that they are over used and have diminished somewhat as a threa. This view point is not without it merits and as such shouldn't be discarded. But I will say this the main protangist in DW is a member of the oldest most powerful race in the Universe. So in a sense a greater power than the Dalek's. Whilst the Borg are superior to the Federation.
So it is easier to explain away a more powerful being defeating a race of slightly less power than the other way around. The Borg should have barely been seen after "The Gift". I could argue that they were kept around for important things like 'the sweeps' i.e a ratings stunt.

I'm a DS9 fan who doesn't like Voyager and I hate Enterprise but I'm not going to start a thread like this about them. Threads like this just get fans of which ever Trek series stirred up...and NOT in a good way. More like stirred up like a horde of angry
s. I, personally, don't want to tangle with a horde of angry s. Now, expressing your opinion/feelings about a Trek series in a quiet, polite way like I tried to do in this post with Voyager and Enterprise is one thing but expressing it by making it a thread title and a thread is too much. This thread seems, to me, like an attempt to draw out the DS9 bashers. Everyone here probably has a series or movie they feel is the worst and that's their right. But to start a bash thread, which is what I think this thread is, is too much.Now if all of you will excuse me,
I'm going to go assimilate with my fellow DS9 fans.

We already know you are giving DS9 a second chance, you said that in your opening post and people have responded to that. Once you start talking about specific episodes, events, and characters people will be better able to respond. At the moment you're complaining about having to repeat yourself, which is bound to happen because you're not really advancing the discussion.
Wait, there's a "Good Ol' Boys Club"? Where do I join? More importantly is there a secret handshake?

We have been over this all before. I have nothing that I need to prove to you or anyone else for that matter.

Thank you! Finally some honesty is being acknowledged about how Voyager & its fan are treated on here.
I am moving on now from this thread. I have accomplished my goal. Nice to see that some people have finally seen the light, and realized why I started this thread.
This thread got way long way fast. I'm not going to bother to read it all... 
In the first season, watch Emissary, Battle Lines, Duet and In the Hands of the Prophets. If you still think DS9 stinks, stop watching. It's not for you.
See how simple that was? No need for a frakking 11 page thread on the topic.

You might want to read the rest of that post you quoted.
You haven't accomplished anything but losing respect for yourself. You're just lucky that most of us (unlike you) won't generalize against Voyager fans based on the childish attitude of one individual.
Don't worry, we figured that out quite a while back.
Exactly. I find large portions of every series other than DS9 to be unwatchable but can even get through some of the worst 1st and 2nd season episodes of DS9 without problems. I am probably more of a Niner than I am a Trekkie and probably even one of the strongest DS9-only types on the forum.
But you know why I don't have a bad rap for that? You do NOT see me going into the other sections of the forum and flamebaiting. Unlike some people here, I can respect that others have different tastes and I see no need to get into an argument over something that is more often a matter of personal preference than any kind of objective standard. I know what I like and what I want, and I am confident enough in it that I do not have to get belligerent over it.
So THAT was the point? You wanted someone that liked DS9 to say VOY wasn't all that bad? Really? I thought your point was to start a flame war, which you did. Now just admit that you're Braga.
Eureka! That would explain it!
Screw those. I miss Jumpin' Jack Doritos.
