The boomerang was placed in the same spot on the Constitution class that was later taken up by the arrowhead, providing more than enough suggestion to me this was the Starfleet symbol. Besides, we only ever see the boomerang in Starfleet settings, and was used as the chest insignia on the Defiant.
It more than likely is the Starfleet symbol, since the wording on the refit Enterprise said "Starship U.S.S. Enterprise - United Federation of Planets". With that established, the emblem signifies it's a Starfleet vessel in the Federation.
I'm replying to what's being communicated to me. Dial it back? How does the suggestion that I'm seeking "brownie points" add anything to the discussion, let alone make sense, or not intended to offend?
Please. This is Star Trek. Dahar Master.Dungeon Master?
I thought moderators gave warnings when posters were out of line, participated in the fun when not, and didn't get involved in conversations that otherwise shouldn't involve them, given their position. But okay, if you'd like to talk, let's.
If the absurd and insulting notion that I was seeking "brownie points" is okay, what was so absurd and insulting about my "offering him a moist towelette"?
So, again, to be clear, you're alright with sarcasm and snark for its own sake, so long as its done by some but not others? Or, if it's done by everyone, if should be done with a practiced light enough a touch to fly under your radar. And if I reply with more sarcasm and snark for its own sake and little else much the same as I'm responding to, so long as I do it with light enough a touch -- no ripples in your soup -- then we can all breezily keep insulting each other on the internet, and you won't have to register any of it in your reports to Number 1?
I think I've had to speak to a moderator about two or three different threads here among the hundreds if not thousands I've participated in. Usually settled in Conversations. If moderators would like to "derail" threads with their public input, very well. I will speak where spoken to.
You already know that comments to mods should be made via PM, and yet you persist in publicly arguing with @1001001 about that very subject. Between this and the general over-the-line behavior toward people who participate in your threads but don't agree with your premises, in this and at least one other thread here recently, you've earned a formal Warning. Comments to PM. I'd recommend using your temp ban to grow a thicker skin and/or a lighter attitude about being disagreed with.
Not an appropriate comment for the forum...please let the mods handle it. Thanks.{sigh} How does someone with 16 years and over 5200 postings on this board spiral so far out of control??
