I dont appreciate Vlad scorning me for responding to his post (was there bad acting on DS). Nothing was said by me to recieve crap from this person.
First of all, thank you for taking this off the main discussion board. That having been said, I have to warn you that you're most likely not going to like what I have to say here.

OK you guys try to remain calm here! Some people like LIVER too, but what about it! If we search the internet we can come up with a site for people who chat about liver and its virtues too...but I still say a nice hunk of my mothers lasagne thrown in a bowl looks and tastes a lot better than LIVER. What I meant by why do we analyze it (and did not get a definitive response too) is what is the pont? To make some negative determination that there was indeed bad acting on DS? I am not in disagreement with that statement I just dont see the point. We are here for a good time right? The show is over and done with and it has shaped and influenced our lives enough to come here so lets enjoy ourselves while we can. The show rules and I want to leave the trekkies on their site where they belong. Remember now...RELAX

The show had bad acting many times even by the actors that most would call the GOOD ones. That fact can not be disputed in any acting class anywhere. We do not need a post to find this out. It is a fact that is well known. I just was wondering where this point was being taken. When it is stated as a fact (which it is) then some conclusion must be made to bring a closure for the idea. Now that there is general concensus that there was bad acting on DS what can we do? Did I mention that there was some bad acting on DS? Let me put it another way..the acting on DS was (a lot of times) BAD!! My opinion is that the acting on DS was bad. Hmmmph!!
Is it your contention that the last message, especially, wasn't sarcastic or condescending?, because that's my take on it. And since I chose to not remove or edit #32 (though I considered it), I not only think Vlad had the right to respond to it but I also appreciated his restraint.
If you can post a subject...then you can expect people to disagree with it. I was only contributing to the post my own opinion and there is nothing wrong with that.
But were you giving your opinion on the subject matter, or were you giving your opinion on whether or not it was valid to carry on the discussion in the first place? It seems to me you were passing judgment on the posters that were contributing to the topic and you were demanding to know why it was being talked about in the first place, and though posters took the time to explain it to you, you kept calling for an answer ("Unfortunately you are unable to give a definitive answer as to what your point is..."). You may not have seen any point to the debate about acting on the show, but I enjoyed it, and I was disappointed that you would sarcastically call it "your great debate" to the poster that started the topic.
Hooked, I know you're a huge fan of the show, and I respect that, but please understand that along with the praise for the show on these forums will come criticism about it, and I agree with Vlad that there's no need for you to jump in and tell everyone to relax and enjoy the show because, personally speaking, I wouldn't be here if I didn't find talking about the show to be relaxing and fun.
