I don't know if anyone will read this, or even care, but I just wanted to apologize for my behavior on certain occassions. A lot of the times I act like a stubborn know-it-all, and it takes a little slap in the face for me to recognize it. I've re-read several of my recent posts, and I realize I've been quite a little self-righteous snot.
So for all those that have had to deal with me on this whole dilithium/Pheonix/pre-TOS tech tirade I've been on, my thanks for your tolerance. I hope I haven't made anyone permanently pissed off at me because of my "holier-than-thou" attitude.
I try not to be so inflexible to other's ideas, but once I've got my own theory in my head, it's hard for me to accept something else. *sigh* At least I'm not a racist or something awful like that.
Anyway, thanks again for your patience. We now return to your regularly scheduled posting.

That's good what you did, makes room for growth. I haven't observed any particular 'snottiness' from your part (I've spent very little time in the "ships&design"-secitons), but it's also a fact that some people can bring out the worst in you.
Nevertheless, it's prudent to be one's own watcher...
Many a fiery post have been written by yours truly, only to be discarded a second before the 'submit' button is pushed. The question must always remain; "Do I want to do this? -Yes. Should I?"

I didn't notice it. Maybe I'm just used to it. *L*

Dan, you seem to be fitting in just fine....
The apology is accepted by me, although not really needed.....

I mostly hang out here and in the flameboard, and most people there are a lot worse than what you described, no apology needed, but if you insist it is accepted.

Daniel: I've read your post responses, and I really don't see anything for you to have to apologize about. It's one thing to do something like what Darkstar did when he "returned" to Flare, or like what Red Quacker did when he purposely tried to instigate arguments between members of this board on topics that had absofuckinglutely nothing to do with Star Trek. Those sorts of posts deserve an apology, not yours.
Think of it this way. Opinions are like assholes: Everyone at this board has one. Your opinions, especially regarding Star Trek, are just as valid as the next person's.

And with those fine words of wisdom, on with the opinion bashing! Hehe!
(Hey Daniel, if you appear a bit aggressive or rude at when arguing your point, it just shows how strongly and pasionate you feel about what you are saying. Last I checked, there was nothing wrong with that. )

You people *sniff* make me feel so loved! *burst into tears* It's so beautiful!
Okay, *sniff* I'm over that now. Thanks for the imput though, really. I guess I should lower my standards for intolerant, belligerant, snottiness than? Oh, I see it all now. I shall let my ego and intolerance grow to incredible sizes! I will dominate the world! Bwahahahaha!
No! That won't happen, I promise! After reading the "contradictions in the Bible" thread, I can see what some of you are talking about. Whooee. But some of my posts still make me feel guilty for my inability to see another's viewpoint.
My new (and first) .sig, by the way, isn't meant to insult anyone who is highly religious. It just succinctly states my own view on organized religion.

Daniel, from the bottom of my heart, you're a turnip.
