[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]Comment: Comprehensive, Categorical, Cool. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks! [QUOTE][qb] Suggestion: Tone down the Warsie antagonism. Like your last link shows, it's not necessary to PROVE that they are an inferior lifeform.[/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, any antagonism I show is several billion levels of tame compared to what I usually encounter in debates. As one of the few vocal pro-Trek debaters, and pretty much the only one a few places, I am their favorite whipping boy. However, in the midst of all the shenanigans, one of them will occasionally say something useful, showing where I need to modify or idiot-proof my argument. I was almost to the point, not too long ago, where I was going to remove terms like "Warsie" and "Rabid Warsie" from my site. Then, I saw this, and just couldn't bear to be so nice: http://ocean.otr.usm.edu/~randers2/STSWscary.html [QUOTE][qb]We know of the three types of holodeck objects: the pseudo-physical and nonpermanent (hologangsters), the physical and permanent (Moriarty's paper) and the aphysical (immune-to-fists EMH). Let's call them "holomatter", "matter" and "opticals" for brevity.[/qb][/QUOTE]Assuming the holo-gangsters are equal to the not-immune-to-fists EMH, then "holo-matter" is simply opticals with a force-field backing it up. This would suggest an active safety protocol watching the participants, and preventing (at least) deadly behaviors, if not some of the more injuring ones. Also, while holo-matter is, from what I understand, a concept in the Encyclopedia, I've ended up making my site canon-only for both universes, since (for example) Lucas says the SW books and such occur outside his universe, and the StarTrek.Com website suggests a canon policy that leaves the Tech Manuals and Encyclopedia on vague, ill-defined footing.
