/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I've found that if someone doesn't seem to be picking up what I'm putting down and puts some wild spin on it the most likely explanation is that they're a fucking jerk that doesn't bother listening/reading and hears/sees whatever they want to so they can keep being a fucking jerk. I don't jump to disability for an explanation.
I'm not even sure how you could choose to have poor reading comprehension. I remember once being a very young child looking at words and not automatically reading them, but no matter what I do I can't willfully have that happen as an adult. I suspect the same is true of comprehension - unless you just spectacularly poorly phrased this and you just meant that I was intentionally misinterpreting you, it seems like a real stretch to imply it wasn't a comment on my capacity for reading.
Lol, literally. Thanks for the laugh. Did you intend to perfectly encapsulate the kind of behavior I was talking about? My previous comment was just two sentences, and only one mattered. But you're a dick that doesn't think other people's words are worth your time so you just saw what you wanted to see so you could keep being a dick.
It is a comment on your capacity for reading, but a self-imposed one.
You're trying to signal your superiority by performatively explaining/demonstrating how little regard you have for what I've said, and how I'm even so foolish that I've made a blunder which illustrates your point - so to be clear I understand what you're doing, and now we're on the same page so you don't have to keep with the tedium of doing that.
Unfortunately you're going on to continue escalating your insults, and throw out yet more inaccurate assumptions of the motivations behind my behavior. Is it so truly difficult for you to believe someone else could just... be a nice person?
Edit: Neeeevermind. Ty mods, sorry about all this.
