Now this is something I'd be willing to put in my list, since I have been guilty of a couple of the things I have in said list.
>Get a life man, or better >yet, get some oxy, stop typing with one hand and then get a life. Star >Trek is just a show. Some of us are trying to look towards the future with >positivity, we all can't be joining the KKK or nazis like you.
Now I had to laugh at this. It's hard to take offense to this when my con geek list was made from years of attending science fiction conventions and seeing the silly things that go on at them. It was meant as a (*gasp*) JOKE!! I look to the future with optimism as well, but I have to shake my head in sorrow that there are those who can't see the humor in something made in jest. And as far as joinging extremist groups as the KKK and Nazis, I leave that to the poor fools who find it necessary to fill their lives with that much hate. For you to state that I am a part of that made me laugh the hardest.
I have to agree with her that Star Trek is just a show. That is why I have to make fun of some of the stuff that I see when I go to these conventions. I go to try and at least get a few pictures of the people who appear at these things and maybe get an autograph or 2 and then leave. I think this kind of response might have struck a bit too clase to home for this person--either she attends these conventions, or knows someone who does, and was offended that I would do something like this. Oh, the *dreadful* psychological effect that can cause on a person. And to compare me to the likes of a member of the KKK or the Nazis is just plain asinine. She needs to learn how to tell the difference between laughing at someone doing something silly and someone who is truly evil.
