And next, there's switching "Worf" and "Troi"--unless, of course, that was intentional....
Julian disgusted me as a person

I'm tempted to stand by that one. 
Okay. Sure thing.
Finally, your avatar closely resembles the avatar of RevDMV--just bigger.

Of what, your logical arguments?No, that would just be your lack of comprehension.So your point is that whatever is bad for the Vorta, has to be bad for the Federation as well?
Let's summarize:
- fact: the Jem'Hadar were engineered by the Founders to be addicted to the Ketracel white
- fact: addiction to the white is something that the Founders and Vorta use to control the Jem'Hadar and ensure their loyalty
- fact: without the Jem'Hadar, the Dominion wouldn't have its army to fight its war
- fact: the Dominion was the main threat in the Alpha Quadrant and the main enemy of the Federation and a war was expected to break out
- your argument is that Bashir would be helping the Dominion and hurting the Federation by curing the Jem'Hadar of the white, and your evidence is...drum roll...
- that the Vorta were terrified of the Jem'Hadar running out of white
Your peers understood, so that's all that matters too me.
^ Could you introduce me to those pears? I'm really curious to meet them...
Some new questions, a la TV's Andy Levy:
Okay--GodBen, you portray the pear in question as being without eyes, or any other means of vision--and also without ears, or any other means of hearing.
Are you therefore implying that DevilEyes's "pears" are blind and deaf--and therefore, out of touch with the rest of us?
Okay, second--flemm, I completely know the feeling of being hulimiated by pears. I happen to have had an unfortunate incident regarding pears, in which the fluidic remaines of a pear I had previously consumed came back up to haunt me. I have never eaten a pear since.
Just thought you'd like to know...that some of us feel your pain deeply....

Don't worry, the joke shall live on in my memory, and many years from now, when I find myself in a dark and lonely place, I shall remember the great pear joke and smile.^ Nice.Now I'm going to edit the typo, I hope it doesn't ruin the joke.
I understand your pain, I too was picked upon by pears as a child.Personally, I've never recovered from being humiliated in front of my pears as a child, so seeing that giant laughing pear in this thread was really quite a harrowing experience
It was so bad that I came to hate all green fruit such as apples and watermelons. I sided with the citric fruits and ended up joining the Orange Order, but I soon left because I didn't agree with their nectarianism (discrimination against nectarines). It was only when I went to college that I got over my fear of pears, and now I have several pear friends. But I still think watermelons are bastards!
I would never say anything bad about DevilEyes' "pears", and I think it's only proper that we're not able to touch them. In the past, such activities have only led to trouble on other Star Trek boards.
(Reads GodBen's response):
Woah. That's just....
DevilEyes, I wish to be clear that I had no intention to invoke such a pathetically sexist response from this...whatever-he-is....

Maybe you could stop rolling your eyes long enough to locate the scroll button and find it yourself.^ Could you introduce me to those peers? I'm really curious to meet them...
Careful. Never set off a woman--particularly that woman! 
I see myself as a modern-day Oscar Wilde. The main difference being that he was sent to prison for homosexual activities, while I didn't experience homosexual activities until I was sent to prison.
In fairness, there was only one other guy in their thread arguing that case, so that would make him a "peer". Meanwhile, there was another person arguing on DevilEyes' side, so there was clearly no consensus as to what her "peers" thought.Maybe you could stop rolling your eyes long enough to locate the scroll button and find it yourself.
Anyway, I agree with DevilEyes, I just didn't say it because I found it to be a really boring argument. Freeing the Jem'Hadr may hurt the Federation, but there's no doubt that it would hurt the Dominion much more and probably lead to its destruction.
I just wish to be clear that exodus had no intention of invoking such a pathetically sexist response from Rush Limborg.Careful. Never set off a woman--particularly that woman!
Seriously, if you're going to accuse someone of being sexist because of some banter, it's best not to follow it up with an actual sexist response.
Well, I've found pears (well, a pear, anyway) and I've found peers. But I'm afraid I haven't found any pears or any peers who can make sense of your arguments that it would be bad for the Dominion if the Jem'Hadar overcame their addiction to the Ketracel White.Maybe you could stop rolling your eyes long enough to locate the scroll button and find it yourself.^ Could you introduce me to those peers? I'm really curious to meet them...
Maybe you should have informed the Founders about it? They seemed to have a crazy idea that Ketracel-white was helping them control the Jem'Hadar...
Maybe you could stop rolling your eyes and telling me I can't understand your superior logic, and try to explain your argument instead?
Because, you know, this way it just seems like you are trying to avoid it because you can't actually prove it...

It was not sexist--I meant it as a compliment. There is a big difference between making refrences to a woman's figure with "fruity" imagery and establishing that women are inherently superior in the art of Fiery, Bold, And Fresh debate.
(Unless, of course, the men have Irish blood--as one can see from our own argument here--in which case the playing field is leveled.)
Now there's a line I haven't heard since the 1960s. And by that I mean since watching Mad Men.I made an absurd logical leap from "pears" to "breasts" in a post where I also made an absurd logical leap from various types of fruits to sectarianism in Northern Ireland. I was being as serious in my reply to you as I was when I called watermelons (Catholics) bastards. If you think I was being serious anywhere in that post, you are woefully mistaken. If DevilEyes took offence to what I said then I unreservedly apologise, the comment was not about her, the comment was about me being a bit weird.
As for your comment, it's not my place to criticise it any further. If DevilEyes took offence to it, I'm sure she'll let it be known, and if she didn't then there was no harm done. It is not my place to fight someone else's battles.

I knew all too well that you meant it in jest--as did I. To be frank, sir, I am becoming increasingly convinced that, for all your claims to "satire" and "jest", you do not know "banter" when you see it.
Absolutely!(Folks...I apologize for this mutual rant/failed-banter. Price of our mutual Irish pride....

This thread appears to be off the rails.
I'm not quite sure how being called "pathetically sexist" and "whatever-he-is" falls under banter, but if you say that it was intended that way then I guess I'll have to put my misinterpretation down to having a head-cold and me not seeing things clearly.
I know that people say there's a thread bomb for every occasion, but I didn't realise they were this specific.
