When I got on the T to go to work this morning, that was a choice on my part. I could have driven into the city instead. I could even have gotten my employer to pay for my parking, no questions asked. Or, I could have ridden my bicycle, or walked. I chose the train. The main skew to the...

What they were doing was actually pretty consistent with other depictions of Vulcans in canon. Imagining that all Vulcans are like Spock would be the racist bit. Allowing them variation implies diversity among them.

Gorignak does speak, just as it is jettisoned into space.

Gorignak's only emotion is tranquility, found when you stop making such a racket.

It's a ROCK! It doesn't have any vulnerable spots!

They aren't acting like bad caricatures. How can you tell? Pike's hair. No, I am not kidding. What they are showing you is the effect of pure logic - unless you are careful, like Spock, it magnifies one's base assumptions and preconceptions, like it magnified Pike's hair. Logic takes you to...

Mod note: Intentionally or not, this assertion is inflammatory - either you mean it seriously, which is going to make people very uncomfortable, or you aren't serious, and then it looks like trolling. I'm going to ask folks to back away from this, and not engage with it. Your continued...

Let's not get into the politics of it, hey, what? Plus, sounds like they've moved to end that particular problem. Go check your favorite national news source for details.

But, Celebrim, talking is also a railroading technique. Calling something a "railroading technique" suggests that's its primary use. And in this case, that's not true. When you hand wave the part the players actually want, that might be railroading. When you hand wave to get to the part the...

Um... no? Here is a map of the light-rail service in the Boston area, that I ride several times a week. Clearly, it doesn't just go to one place. It won't get you absolutely anywhere you choose, door-to-door, no. And your choices for stopping to pick up donuts on the way to work are...

Mod Note: Hey, folks! You see this analogy to scoring points in an internet discussion? It tells me that folks in the discussion are becoming more interested in scoring points, in "winning", than exchanging ideas or learning. That may feel good to you, but it isn't of much value to anyone...

You take all the noobs off all the doors in the house, and take them to a local pawnbroker. You can usually get a great price for antique brass or cut crystal noobs.

Mod Note: ... that EN World has a no-politics rule, and you are expected to follow it. No more access to this discussion for you.

Mod Note: Hey, you two. Cut it out, please. If you can't have a civil conversation, please use this post as an excuse to break off, before one of you say something that'll get more than this warning.
