[QUOTE]Originally posted by Orion Syndicate: [QB] About the 'Why are we all posting at Flare' thing, I came here originally about October 1999 because it seemed a decent board with fun people to talk to and debate with. Star Trek played a small part in my decision to stay for a while, but it was the people that made me stay longer. There have been some dickheads come and go and it has gotten boring on occasions, which is why I left for almost a year. But mostly, it is the regulars that are fun and the reason I've stayed so long. Now, about Paramount's responsibility, how many Trekkies would actually go out, find Malcolm McDowell and shoot him as retribution for the death of Captain Kirk? Not many. The ones who were responsible for the death threats against McDowell for that very reason are screwed in the head -just like the people that kill others. You can't blame TV companies or programmes for the fucked up personalities of people who were probably like that before they ever saw the programme. About your Paramount argument, how many Star Trek fans are there in the world? Now, how many aren't fans? I think any sensible person would agree that the figure would be ridiculously higher in the 'non fan' category. A lot of these have probably seen Star Trek and weren't converted because they don't like it. We like the concept, so are Trekkies. That's not Paramount, it's us. The TV company is just providing a service, upon which we act according to our personalities and preferences. I think it's about time people started to accept that not everything is everyone elses fault, especially in these cases. If someone commits a murder, it isn't a TV show, but the person themselves who are to blame. There are obvious exceptions like little children for whose crimes their parents should be held accountable. After 12 or 13, it's the persons own fault. The sooner people stop blaming others and accept responsibility, the sooner things can start to change. [/QB][/QUOTE]
