T'Pol's emotions opposed to Spock's

[locutus101]

Reread the above quote. It is relevant but you chose to ignore that in favor of lining up straw men to tilt at.

You haven't said a single specific thing, let alone anything relevant to this discussion.

"Physician heal thyself!"

I've pointed out a song can be a legitimate apt simile germane to the discussion however you're too busy trying to get in the last word to notice that.

If you're going to needlessly argue using fallacies and baiting comments be prepared to be called on them or perhaps avoid using them all together would be the better option. After all, this is supposed to be a friendly place with a friendly topic, just in case you've forgotten those details.

Thanks for proving my point that it doesn't matter what you argue about so long as you have the final say.

I only have "the final say" half of the time, genius, the other half, it's you.

You do realize this thread has been completely derailed because you can't admit you're wrong and need to have the last word as a doubling down finale over telling T'Arwen in your flawed opinion what is acceptable expression.

I don't know what's worse: your lack of basic reading comprehension or you lecturing others about relevance. Not too long ago, you somehow found excuses to say Phlox committed genocide in threads that had absolutely NOTHING to do with Dear Doctor. One time was in response to me when I didn't mention anything about the episode. And you want to talk about relevance? Someone might just take you seriously if you followed your own advice.

This is getting nowhere.

No shit Sherlock.

You realize that your entire intervention in this thread consists in nothing but ad hominem? Your contribution to any primary or secondary topics of this thread is equal to ZERO!!!

Thanks to you and your partner in crime I know now what it must feel like to argue with a pair of packleds.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more interesting topics awaiting me elsewhere.

Quote these ad hominems on this thread I've supposedly said. I've been addressing the content of your posts and as such I haven't called you any names. If you're going to make an accusation then let's see some proof.

Ad Hominem are not about calling someone names. Get informed! I am not here to educate people like you. Find someone else for that and in the meantime stay away from adult conversations.

You've made a baseless accusation and when called on it attempt a very poor rhetorical evasion instead of providing direct quotes as proof.

I am saying that you're an ignorant and have no idea what an Ad Hominem actually is. Moreover, your ignorance doesn't keep you from continuing on this subject, which is why it is my last post to you. I don't want to be accused of encouraging people who are only interested in flame wars. Same goes for the other one.

I know exactly what an ad hominem is. Ironically, you just used an ad hominem four times alluding to "educating people like me," should "stay away from adult conversations," I'm "an ignorant," (amazing syntax usage, lol) and "your ignorance." You still haven't provided any quotes regarding your accusation I've ad hommed you.

Just as I said, you're only interested in flame wars and not much else.

Good gravy. Closing this trainwreck for review.

Well now, it's morning here, and I've had time to consult with staff about this sorry bloodbath of a thread.

T'Arwen, locutus101, Red Shirt, you three stun me with your determination to insult and denigrate each other, to post for the express purpose of hurling more invective, and to refuse to accept the most basic fact about a discussion board: people are going to disagree. This is the meat and potatoes of a discussion board. Members will have different opinions, and those opinions, if expressed with courtesy, are to be respected, not belittled or attacked or dismissed as irrelevant. I don't like issuing infractions, but you give me no choice here.

You never heard of Ebony and Ivory? That's where the quote is from. If you don't get it, you're either living under a rock or being deliberately obtuse. Let me repeat, there is good and bad in EVERYONE. EVERYONE. Real or fictional. Humans, Vulcans or Klingons.

Emphasis mine. T'Arwen, you started this brawl with the "living under a rock" jab above. You have a warning for flaming. Comments to PM.

Listen, I for one, don't confuse Star Trek with the real world. In Tex Avery's cartoons a character gets a safe on his head and one second later he walks out of there as if nothing happened. Star Trek may look more realistic but it's a lot closer to a cartoon than it is to reality. If you don't get that then there's nothing that I can do for you. You simply need to grow up.

Ad Hominem are not about calling someone names. Get informed! I am not here to educate people like you. Find someone else for that and in the meantime stay away from adult conversations.

Emphasis mine. locutus101, each of these, and your hostile and condescending attitude, deserves a flaming infraction. I am giving you 2 for the most egregious name calling here, the "genius" and "packleds" lines. Comments to PM.

Reread the above quote. It is relevant but you chose to ignore that in favor of lining up straw men to tilt at.

Emphasis mine. Red Shirt, you teetered on the razor edge with these baiting comments and smilies before you started throwing chairs too, and the last post quoted above was the final straw. Passing judgment on a fellow member, taunting him, and "laughing" derisively at him, repeatedly, is no less insulting than outright name-calling. You have a warning for trolling. Comments to PM.

I strongly suggest all of you read "The Mannerly Art of Disagreement" and take it to heart.

Since this thread is a useless mess now, it stays closed.
