Heh... if there's one way to address the endless over-analysis in such instances quoted in that article, it's to point out that the whole thing is completely insane.

Apparently that author has never visited the site and forum that provides the instigation for those counter-arguments... who are ever worse in certain ways, IMO.

I believe the key difference between most of the people at Flare is that we're doing our extensive analyses for the most part within the world of Trek, keeping in mind its fictional origins -- and even using lots of the behind-the-scenes sources. Resorting to such strict scientific applications completely ignores the fact that so much of this stuff is MADE UP for entertainment value rather than scientific accuracy (come on! It's just fun to see the walker get smashed!). Furthermore, comparing two separate fictional universes is just plain silly because they often operate on exclusively different principles.

Actually, I found the whole thing quite amusing. And, it netted some nice feedback, too (www.st-v-sw.net/STSWfeedback3.html). I'm just hella-glad that I went with the webhosting plan I chose, so that I survived the undoubtedly-crushing amount of bandwidth. :-O

My site got featured once on some idiot blogger's page. She said the fact that the museum was founded in 2213 was 'scary.' I guess she doesn't get out much.

Hey! I get out plenty, I'll have you know. I'm just naturally pasty looking.

What, you resemble a shell-shaped pastry case containing meat and vegetables? Masao doesn't sound like a Cornish name. . . 8)

Oh, great. 2003 is going to be remembered as The Year of the Great Definition-of-"Pasty" Debate...

Ich bin ein Berliner. Nicht!

Also, there's no tassel on my head.

I better gather up my crayons and get back to the picture-drawing forum.

ive been a SA goon since October 2000. im almost upto 3000 posts, and there isnt a day that goes by that the fourms make me crack up.

So, you don't enjoy them, then?

Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
 
the bans waiting around every corner are a little enthusiasm dampening.. and the fact that is full of goons.. 1 out of every 5 posts makes you the center of ridicule for the simple reason that no one else was being ridiculed at that moment.

and then there's goatse man and tubgirl. *shudders*

Posted by Ultra Magnus (Member # 239) on :
 
Tubgirl is the shit.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
 
Damn it. I had completely erased everything having to do with tubgirl from my mind. Now that image is etched into my mind again. The screams of a hundred innocent children echo in my soul.
