You are entitled to your opinion. I have attempted to make peace with you time and again. You hate me. I get it.
Star Trek nerd rants about how the new movie was a piece of crap.

Actually, you've proven time and again that you really don't "get it" and that you can't take criticism. I don't hate you. I really don't give a damn one way or another about you.
But I feel bad for the fans (however many or however few) whose possible enjoyment you took away by telling them not to bother viewing Exeter's "Tressaurian" episode because it was incomplete, and by directing them to another completely different fan film series. I feel bad for the folks at Exeter whose hard work is deliberately being cast aside in favor of another series simply because they haven't finished it yet. And I feel bad for the fact that you don't recognize how your behavior is a slight against them.

This is not an Exeter thread. I did not bring up Exeter. You did. If you want to rant about a posting, be specific, offer a link, and a date.
You have made a number of statements against me I would like to see you substantiate with actual references.
You stated: "Nor do you apparently watch many of the fan films such as Exeter."
As I have demonstrated, I have watched Exeter. This is a false statement.
Then you stated: "Agreed, but it's accurate. I'm having issues with folks who are supposedly promoting fan films and yet take swipes at Exeter and/or publicly proclaim that they refuse to watch the episode, "The Tressaurian Intersection," until its finished while suggesting that their readers go to other fan films and watch them instead. Perhaps if they were actually producing fan films they'd have a better understanding of the delays that arise in any production."
Untrue statements are not accurate. The phase "Their readers" here clearly refers to my website, contrary to your come back later. The fact that you keep saying I haven't watched a partial film I have not only watched, but about which I had a review posted for over a year, proves your statement not merely false, but malicious. What is more, my page on Exeter is very positive. The only changes I have made recently are adding more related links and correcting one spelling error. In sum, your statement is not true.
In spite of your libel, I had at first remained quiet.
If you want to say I said something in a post, link to the post so that everyone can read it, word for word, and in context, and also show when it was posted.

Very well...
You said...
(Emphasis mine.) And then you provide your standard link to your blog. Does this not say you have NOT watched Exeter?
Funny that you should mention that. You see, no this is not an Exeter thread, but according to you...
There are other instances where you do this. It's the main issue I'm having here.
And you added later that...
An opinion which you're entitled to, and isn't in contention here but I point it out because it's a swipe, imo, at Exeter.
Barb, this may surprise you, but I rarely even look at your blog. This has NOTHING to do with your blog. That would be irrelevant to TrekBBS. This has everything to do with your posts and behavior HERE.
I've never read your entry on EXETER. Not interested. Sorry, but you yourself said, "I didn't watch the part available now knowing it was incomplete." Does this mean you have watched all three parts of "TTI"?
Irrelevant. Your behavior here in what's in question to me. I don't visit your blog enough to know (or care) what's posted there. I can only go by what you've posted here.
Whoa, watch how you sling false accusations, Barbara.
Done, done, done.
For the record, no one's been a bigger defender for the Exeter guys than I, and in my opinion that's a completely unfair characterisation of what Barb has said in the past. She has *never* suggested it won't be finished, and she has *never* told people not to watch it. Suggesting folks wait until it is complete is a totally different matter, and hardly an unreasonable suggestion. Especially given those people who kick up a fuss when they find out it isn't finished.
Coming from someone who ignores any fanfilms that aren't original series based (that's your preference, and I don't have a problem with it, before anyone jumps on me for that), I find it odd that you would be berating someone else for supposedly telling others not to watch particular fanfilms. People are entitled to their preferences, and their recommendations. Barb is no different in this respect than you, so I don't really see the issue here.
It would probably be helpful if you didn't cut Barb's words and post them out of context. Barb is clearly responding to complaints from people about Exeter's unfinished status, and is clearly being supportive of the Exeter team. She does not tell people not to watch it, she does not for a second suggest it will be unfinished, she simply suggests to those who are complaining, that they should wait and watch some of the other *finished* films while they wait.
Seems to me there's some sort of major misunderstanding going on here. So for the record, let me just say that when Exeter does release the final act of TTI, I can pretty much guarantee Barb will be one of the first people talking them up, because she's never been anything but a staunch supporter of the fanfilm community.

This isn't about me. It's about Barb's decision to interject her recommendation for other fan film sites in threads about Exeter. If no one has a problem with it, that's fine. But I do.
You're entirely entitled to feel that way, but I happen to think it's unfair of you to repeatedly misrepresent what she is saying and quote her out of context.
We'll just have to agree to disagree, but I don't think I'm taking her out of context at all.
LOL Well, it's not much of an argument, and I apologize for getting the thread off topic.

Oh, yeah, you're just a peach.
