Re: Alleged JMS slam of TNG (R

Oh, please, if that's the best you can do. You were asked to
provide a quote in which I slammed Trek fans. That message you quoted
doesn't slam Trek fans. It doesn't even MENTION Trek fans. It refers to
a couple of people -- and there messages WERE geeky -- who got very snotty
and said that they had NEVER EVER used CGI on TNG, and that they could
tell (even though I know from inside that in at least one prior episode,
where Picard "joins" a band of crooks, they DID use a CGI ship in a
couple of shots).

And you even admit that you aren't sure that it was directed at
Trek fans. Which, again, it wasn't; only at a couple of specific people.

Further, the "All Things...STUPID" header wasn't created by me, but
was on a thread created by somebody else.

I have NEVER, in any post, slammed Trek fans as a group, and I don't
think I've ever just roundly dismissed/slammed ST as useless or sucky or
anything on that order. If there was something specific to mention or to
critique, maybe, but frankly I don't recall doing much or any of THAT,
either.

You made an allegation. And now you can't back up that allegation
with anything.

Perhaps an apology might be in order...?
