    Stamets I love ya you big shroomhead but this comment felt unnecessarily hostile, and I didn’t want to be upset when I responded.

    You’re right that Starfleet does tons of shitty things all the time all across the franchise. Maybe I am being overly picky about what is in line with their doctrine as they violate it constantly, as you’ve rightly pointed out. Ultimately it doesn’t matter. Star Trek can be inconsistent within itself and that’s fine.

    I just want to thank you for the contributions you make to Lemmy every day between memes and posts. I appreciate you.

      I stand by my comment. I’m only matching your tone and energy that you came in with at the start. You attacked the show in ways that were completely unfounded and cherry picking and I merely picked the argument apart. I didn’t appreciate opinion being painted as fact. People can not like the show all they want, that’s fine. But using opinion to try and color what the show truly is and isn’t? I find that unacceptable.

      Appreciate you too.
