[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] While reading the posts that followed my postings, I read others saying that I don't have a correct reading on the fan base. Tonight I was watching "Olympia" by a noted German artist from 1936. As I watched the film, I came to understand the German people of that year. There were many who passionate about Nazism. And there were many who were complacent about Nazism. And there were very few who complained about Nazism. My point, is this. We fans are divided into groups-those who are passionate about ST, those who are complacent about ST, and those who are 'complainers' and want to see a change. The producers want and will get the passionate and complacent fans. They will have a difficulty with getting the 'complainers'. I was a passionate fan many years ago. I bought the required reading, made lists of ST items, and even considered joining a club. Then as I got older I became a complacent fan. I accepted what I got and watch the show regularly. About two years ago, I was a 'complainer'. I didn't like Voyager for I felt the show wasn't credible and this caused me to question the rest of Star Trek. I began to analyse ST and I saw that the world that I liked many years before was not credible. And I voiced this on this board and others. And I ran into a volley demanding to know who I was to think this way and questioning my connection to the fan base. Reading these responses tonight to three simple responses written by me and analysing the responses to other threads, I came to believe that there was a prejudice against certain beliefs in the fan base. This has pushed me further away. If you don't want to hear from me, either say so or don't read a response I write. And further more, I am not you. I don't spend hours doing ST. I spend my time in the reading of the Talmud, I spend my time with family and friends, and working. And I am glad not to be you. Will I be watching the fifth series? No. [/QB][/QUOTE]
