Star Trek Fundamentalism

Not open for further replies.
Quick question - not to derail the OP's thread...

Oh, no. We wouldn't want that.

...but by what criteria did "Enterprise" bomb?
Pretty much all criteria, I think.


I disagree. Perhaps you could give some creative examples, since financial topics bore me and I'm not prepared to waste time engaging in them.

I wrote a few reviews of "Enterprise" episodes once upon a time. I'll see if I can find them...
 
The Great Trek XI Fan War of 2009 started in, like, 2007. :guffaw:

But didn't Abrams declare "Mission Accomplished" just a few months later?

Unfortunately (for you), we don't happen to agree with you in your assertion that this discussion has been a one-way trollfest.

Exactly.

It's more like a twelve-way trollfest, which (because of an obscure forgotten subsection) is perfectly acceptable under the rules.

:p
 
Wrong - I DO NOT ASSUME I AM RIGHT but it's not my fault if I simply make superb points and the zealots can't is it? ;)
A long rant about why you hate some of your fellow fans do not "superb points" make.

MAKE A CONVINCING CASE AND PROVE ME WRONG.
I tried that once, but I figured out it was a waste of effort when people already had their minds made up about the movie and dismissed anything critical about it. I have yet to say any "superb points" made by any proponants of the movie that didn't involve bashing people who didn't like what they'd seen or the idea of a reboot in general. It certainly doesn't help to refer to them as "zealots"/"fundamentalists"/"bashers"/etc., nor does it help to go ALLCAPS! on anyone, which is really just a sign of verbal weakness and emotional excitability.

Except it is and he's not the only that thinks it, but then most of the threads in this forum are, so I could see how you would think otherwise. ;)

Because next time we get into this namecalling crap, it will be a warning for flaming.

You are welcome to attack arguments all you like - but you are NOT free to attack other posters with namecalling.
So "fundamentalists", "zealots", and "bashers" don't count as namecalling then? Cool, can I call anyone who disagrees with me a pathetic gushing loser who likes to suck JJ's over 9000 penises that are all raping are childhood? Fair is fair after all. :techman:

There are only twelve* troll models.

They rebelled...

They evolved...

And they like to spam... :D

Or do I mean thirteen...?
 
So, these twelve troll models. I take it seven are well-known, but the other five we aren't meant to know about and knowledge about them is forbidden?

Well, of course not, because talking about the mods is the surest way to tick them off. :devil:



Wait ... how come everyone just took a step away from me?
 
I prefer the original term Troll was taken from. In ancient times, Troll was the word given to anything the people couldn't recognise. So say, they saw an elephant...it was a troll. They then saw an Emu or koala, Troll and Troll.

Well, the reading of the subsections is your job. Whadaya think we keep you around for? Your big giant thrusters? :p

Look guys....here is our position as of this morning:

We agree this thread is, shall I say, 'rough and tumble' - the tone was set for that in the very first post. But the borderline trolling has by no means been one-sided. Both sides have taken what frankly, have been warnable shots - IF we wanted to be hard-assed, kill-joy, suck-the-fun-out-of EVERYTHING mods.

Which is not our objective.

Now, I think we can do without any further flaming. But if you notice, we have not given warnings out to EITHER side. Our intention was to allow you guys a little rope with the (possibly vain) hope that you don't hang your collective selves. I mean, you know...act like...say....ADULTS.

So how about doing us a favor and dialing it back a tad? The topic is cool. But seriously...let's not take anymore personal shots.
 
You know...

Closing this will just allow flames to spread elsewhere as we've seen. No amount of locks have stopped the hostility on the topics of new vs old, etc.

Smartest action? leave this thread open for the flames, may have the odd chance of reducing flames in new threads.

Or maybe the Mods could start enforcing the rules about trolling and flaming...

This is the SECOND post you've made about this. And believe me, we are ALL watching this thread carefully and have discussed it in the BR. So how about you knock off this 'not doing your job' crap? I believe you have been contacted via PM about this as a direct result of the BR discussion of your concerns, but the bottom line is this: you not getting your way is NOT the equivalent to us not doing our jobs.

Unfortunately (for you), we don't happen to agree with you in your assertion that this discussion has been a one-way trollfest.

If and when we feel it gets there, action will be taken at that time.

Until then, knock off the backseat modding.

Thanks.

I'll check my PMs...I haven't gotten any notifies lately.

Adults? We are not adults. WE! ARE! TREKIES! [kicks PKTrekGirl who is wearing a red shirt into the fan pit of death]
 
I'm slowly coming to the mind that Plumster may be joking a bit. Or at least I hope he is, for his own sake!

it helps if one notices he has switched positions from time to time..
;)

perhaps he just likes to cavill.,

I'm sure your objective is lulz.

If you strike me down, I'll be more powerful than you can imagine.

I mean, you know...act like...say....ADULTS.
There are no adults on the internet, only 12 year old boys who fap to pr0n. This is just an example of tentacle pr0n for them.

So how about doing us a favor and dialing it back a tad? The topic is cool.
Cool like the Sahara, baby.

Would calling someone a pathetic gushing loser who likes to suck JJ's over 9000 penises that are all raping are childhood be too personal? :confused:
 
Fundamentalism?

and so Picard exited the turbo lift and blessed Riker on a job well done. Picard sat down at the captain's chair

he gave an order "tea" earl grey be thy name

Picard sighed content that all was well
 
PKTrekGirl, I apologize.

Plumster, you are not fooling anybody. You started off posting a obnoxious manner and now that you have been called out on it, you are implying it was what you wanted to do all along.

Well my son - you should have read the thread properly first because I prefaced everything in my OP with 'I REALISE THE JUXTAPOSITION OF MY POSITION' or words to that effect.
You are like those people, who say "I'm being politically incorrect but..." and then say something outrageously racist or sexist. It just does not fly. Adding a one line preamble before launching into your hate spewed post is disingenuous at best. All it confirms, is that you knew your post was hypocritical, full of hot air and full of broad generalizations. Which in fact, makes it even more epically stupid.

And what about your following posts?

Claiming anybody who disagrees with you is trying to "spoil" the thread? Calling people the Trekmujahadeen? Of course, it was all apart of your act.

Please. Your attempts to backpedal are so transparent, it's embarrassing.

That was a pretty sweet set of lines!

Focus on the point son and not the man please. :guffaw:

All you've done is attack me - at least attack the points please.

And yes - the juxtaposition I've created was acknowledged in my first post.

Move on cause you don't seem to have a point on this.

Are you one of the zealots? It would be useful to frame the interaction between us because my own position is clear.

And to the poster who thinks I've backtracked -what a crock of shit. Why do I need to backtrack - the fact that you posted what you posted clarifies what I've been saying. I'm confident that my position is eminantly defendable and I've yet to hear or read anything that articulates I'm wrong. In fact all I see is a division between pre Abrams and post Abrams.

Like I give a shit because you think I've backtracked. How big is your ego?

Zealots, the lot of you.

Trek moulded in thy own image.

Yeah baby.
