Some posters seem to take it personally when certain entertainment executives make certain decisions or announcements. This is expressed in vehement tones of outrage and sheer vituperative verbal violence, as if they have been deliberately affronted to their faces. Abrams, Braga, Ellison and others are referred to as if the posters know them in real life. Look, people, it’s just images on a screen. If you don’t like it, click away or go do something else. Or read a book. Or complete that scrimshaw project.

You people are worthless humorless nerds!

This was you, correct?
You don't seem to be very qualified to tell other people how to act.
Is this your first time interacting with fandom of any kind?
I am an Organian, expressing the feelings of my fellow Organians.
Constantly referencing scrimshaw doesn't make you sound clever.
Well, you're certainly right about not interacting, since you spend more time being confrontational or condescending to anyone that doesn't agree with you.
I am a fan of TOS and only TOS. I also think that the owners of the franchise have every right to tinker with it as they please. They own it. It belongs to them. I support intellectual property rights. This is important. This is American capitalism. Star Trek is American hegemony. Roddenberry was patriarchy. He was an alcoholic and a lecher. He empowered women - especially if they were attractive and wore short skirts and revealing clothing. Yay Roddenberry! Please reveal these facts to anyone who wants to know the truth about Star Trek. Star Fleet was a military organization. Not para-military. Long live TOS! For the Federation!

Well those were certainly lots of words.
We need Star Trek IV with Chris whatever-his-name-is as Kirk. We need reiterations of TOS - with the actors playing the original characters like Spock, Scotty and Sulu. Reprising of the roles. Action. Adventure. No Chrome Domes. No conferences. No stationary vessels. More explosions. More time travel. More overthrowing of planetary governments by Kirk, aided by his fisticuffs.
Rather common argument; "I want Star Trek!"
"Here's Star Trek with action"
"That's all wrong."
"Here's Star Trek with time travel."
"Also wrong."
"What kind of Star Trek then?"
"I don't know but I know it's not that."
That’s not me. I specifically told you what Baby Boomers want: American heroes wiping the floor with bad guys. Men who act like men. Snort!
Substance comes from the suits who PAY for filmed Trek. They make the decisions, and I’m glad they do. Harumph!
I'm not s baby boomer and have little interest in that.
I grow fatigued and am off to Wrigley’s Pleasure Planet for some well-deserved R & R. I might grace you with my presence if I feel the need to impart more Federation wisdom upon you.
KAPLA!
Then again, you might not.
Irony, Captain?
