Tuvix: Was it the right decision?

[KayArr]

Whoops, I better make nice then. Kimc, characterizing those who don't agree with you as lacking in subtlety is absolutely a great, great moderating policy--you are setting the tone for the whole forum, hooray!!!

 

[exodus]

It's too bad the Janeway-bashers don't have enough subtlety to understand what was done here. Oh well...

O.K.--sorry, that I called you a snob.

But if calling you a snob is flaming, just what is calling people who don't like the episode too stupid to understand the subtlety? That's what you did, you called people unsubtle, and I'm pretty sure that you meant it as insult. Adding "Oh well..." was most definitely condescending and insulting. How is that different from what I wrote? I suppose that I was direct, and you were indirect--but are you going to defend your post based on semantics? In my opininon, you just flamed a whole bunch of people on the forums.

Her comment was a general one, yours was specifically directed at her.

This is also helping you loose points fast as well.

I see that--calling one person a snob based on what s/he wrote is tons, tons worse than labeling a whole group of people stupid because they disagree with you. Anyone can see that.

It's also part of the board rules to take up such issues via PM.

What you're doing now is grounds for a warning. Even if you are in the right, continuing the way you are is now putting yourself in the wrong.

<sigh>

As much as I hate the paperwork warning for flaming. If you had dropped it or pm'd me after the friendly things would have been different. Oh well...

Comments on the warning to pm as per usual.

You know, people are always ragging on VOY for not being more like BSG. I wonder, if this had been an episode of DS9 would people be more apt to rave rather than rant about the shades of gray?

It was an episode of DS9. The Kurzon component Of Jadzia escaped during a rap ritual and decided to live in Odo permanantly.

I can't quite recall, but I don't think that ended the same way, right? Curzon initially refused to leave Odo but eventually came to his senses. Someone talked him into it didn't they? Not the same greyness I'm afraid.

Edited to add that EVERY Trek series has at least one alien possession episode. Even VOY did with Warlord. But Tuvix was a completely different animal that I don't think any other Trek series, not even DS9, had the balls to do. Sisko came close with ..Moonlight, but since he didn't actually kill the senator himself then...

 

[Unicron]

That was "Facets." Curzon did claim initially that Odo preferred the bond as well, since it gave him the ability to experience some aspects of solid life. Whether or not that was true is hard to determine, but it certainly could have been.

Whoa! Oversensitive much? Or just confused about the definition?

"Snob" means much the same as "opinionated fanboy/fangirl".

Someone who doesn't like the lady who lives down the road at #47 because she has yellow (ugh!) roses growing in her garden is a "snob".

Someone who thinks Sevruga caviar is crass and unsophisticated because they grew up being breast-fed Bollinger Champagne and Beluga caviar, is a "snob".

I think The Original Series is silly because of it's campy style, lack of technical finesse, sloppy science (compared to other Star Trek series') and dated socio-political attitudes. That makes me (guess what?) a "snob".

Methinks perhaps you're confusing "snob" with "S.O.B."?

I'm not sure who you have a problem with but take it to pm, okay?

For the record I personally don't mind being called a snob because to be honest I can be one occasionally. However, there are many posters who would take offense which is why the friendly. The warning came when the poster would not let it go.

So everyone take a deep cleansing breath and repeat after me: "Snobs are people too."

There, isn't that better? Thank you and good night.

 

[Mr. Fergy]

BTW: The guy who played Tuvix is a good actor, IMHO.

 

[Mrs Paris]

He was great! And i'm glad they used another actor instead of either Tim Russ or Ethan Phillips

 

[Guy Gardener]

What if they were both in some sort of jabba the hut puppet with Phillips and Beltran's heads popping out the top... It worked on that Mat Damon baseball movie.

Thanks, I'll take the gift check instead.

The Borg Queen & exodus: If you were both in the same room with me I'd be banging your heads together right now.

I can see the Tuvix discussion is dead. Feel free to start a new Tuvix thread if desired - this one is done.
