"The station doesn't go anywhere"? Really? If that's the best you've got, that's nothing.
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?![]()
Let me go find the "Voyager = WORST Star Trek Series EVER" thread posted by an often intolerant, dismissive and rude DS9 fan within the Voyager forum...
(3 minutes later...)
Huh. I can't seem to find it. Weird. Maybe you can find and post a link to it?
Because, I can find no evidence that DS9 fans are so intolerant, dismissive, or rude as to post such a thread in the Voyager forum. Sure, some of them post their (sometimes controversial) opinions in various pre-existing threads, but I don't see the levels of intolerance and ignorance that you are accusing DS9 fans of. You are however simultaneously heavily exhibiting them yourself.
It is the only Star Trek series that I turned off during the pilot episode because it was so awful. I never watched the series after that. I have only seen a handful of DS9 episodes
I'm sure most people who have posted in this thread are fully prepared to engage in debate about direct critisims of DSN.
I guess all of you proved my point. No response at all to me giving Enterprise & your vaunted DS9 a second chance.
Wait, there's a "Good Ol' Boys Club"? Where do I join? More importantly is there a secret handshake?The "Good Ol' Boys Club" here on the Trek BBS only is interested in attacking. It is very telling how that post was totally skipped over so that the Good Ol' Boys Club" network here on the Trek BBS could continue the attacks.
The problem you have is that there's no reason for anyone to believe you when you say that you're giving the show a fair chance. Respect doesn't necessarily have to be earned, but it can be lost, and your actions in this thread have certainly expended whatever modicum of respect we would normally have been willing to afford you. If you want our respect now then you'll have to earn it back.That is why I have been giving DS9 the chance I never gave it by watching it on Netflix. I have started this previously in this post, but no on seems to have taken notice of that. So far it has yet to engage me, but that likely could change, and I actually fully expect that change. I have found that where Trek is involved in regards to myself that resistance is futile.
If you had started this thread explaining that you were a Star Trek fan that was trying to get into DS9 but you were finding the first season a bit crap, you would have found a far better reception among fans, because every Niner I've ever met has been willing to admit that the first season contains a substantial quantity of crap. But you didn't do that, you came in here bashing the whole show, including events in the later seasons that it was clear you didn't understand properly. Some of your criticisms were utterly senseless and could easily be applied to your own favourite show, Voyager. Other criticisms were far too broad and consisted of comments like "it's boring" and "the station doesn't go anywhere".
If somebody chose to come into this forum and write up a detailed critical analysis of what they thought was wrong with DS9 I would have no problem with that, it might even lead to an interesting conversation or two. You have so far failed to demonstrate that you are a person capable of writing such an interesting, insightful critique.
Prove me wrong.
I personally don't care what you think. If people like DS9 then fine. Your doubts about me stating that is how I feel are completely & totally irrelevant to me.
Thank you! Finally some honesty is being acknowledged about how Voyager & its fan are treated on here.Voyager does take a beating around these parts, it's fair to say. Probably more than it deserves.

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.

Screw those. I miss Jumpin' Jack Doritos.Or love Cool Ranch and hate Nacho.
Well, Cool Ranch is naturally superior to all other chips, so I don't think this is a fair analogy.

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.
Nice editing job you did there Sparky!
