If you think Vogon is being less than nice, you should go and see a charming fellow named Goa'uld over at the dominant Stargate SG-1 forum at www.gaters.net. This guy's attitude sets standards no mere human could meet... I swear there's a worm in his guts or something. You sorta learn to ignore his words and listen to his facts, though, since he certainly knows his stuff.
I can only surmise that direct prolonged exposure to scifi TV corrupts your brain's higher niceness centers. Recommended protective measures: always learn about the episodes through internet first, and then see them two or three years late, by paying outrageous prices to your local sales video vendor. Teaches you humility.

I'm currently in a niceness rehab program.. I've actually managed to confine most of my assholic comments to the board lately, with a couple of real-life exceptions.
I'm also having more luck with the ladies. Before i cut down on my time spent watching sci-fi on TV, my most serious relationship took up a .ZIP file of about 118 KB of saved IMs and emails.. now, I go out for dinner with real girls.
But dont worry about losing yourself.. I still manage to be a pretty officious spaced out geek here, too! -- yes, you too can get a life too! just dial 1-555-1701...! or visit our website at.. oh never mind

If Vogon Poet was trying to be an asshole he cannot compare to some posters at my favorite (non science fiction) forum, the OregonLive Townsquare Forum. Any post by a "Don Abernathey" or a "Greg Laux" is bound to offend almost anyone.

"Vogon Saint" is a direct heir to the apostolic order and a twisted saint of the rarest variety, and we love him with a few or our internal organs. For instance, I have given him my spiritual appendix.

To be fair to Lee, he does have a point. If there is one thing our forum has in it's favour (apart from me, obviously), it's that the average poster intelligence is fairly high. We don't have a huge number of posters, but at least 99% of the people who post here know how to use paragraphs, and can write stuff more entertaining that "teh DEIFANT Rulz! H@x0rz arsebisUiTS!"
Even when we argue, it sounds fairly intelligent (like your posts on the ST II thread. While anyone with a brain thinks you're wrong, Red Cadet, you are arguing back intelligently, rather than saying "You all sux aND fInGerz each OthR!" Hell, our most argumentative threads are about countries political agendas, and not whether the Defiant does indeed rule, or if the Sovereign-class would beat it in a fight with it's Type-11 million phaser banks).
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

What the fuck are you talking about Brother Harry?
