>>> "Unable to defend even one silly TV show..." <<<Actually, I defended it sufficiently and moved on to the more troubling topic of your SF genre bashing.

Wow! Sorry if I hurt the poster's feelings, but I'm amazed that making an assertion about limited imagination has penetrated the hide of such an unflappable critic! The latex applications actors wear when portraying aliens on Star Trek is a thicker skin.
As for my supposed efforts at painting SF's critics as being the moral equivalent of racists, that's a stretch. Yes, there are parallels with unreasonable genre bashing and racist-like behavior, but it isn't the same and I'm not making moral comparisons. When armchair SF critics condemn genre fiction they often resort to prejudicial comments about it's inferiority and the lack of sophistication of it's audience. They do this not out of the intuitiveness of their perception, but as a means of ridiculing that which they don't understand nor desire to understand, much less appreciate.
>>> "(Science fiction taken as a whole, is just as sophisticated as much of what passes for mainstream literature.) That's what I said." <<<
The difference is that my statement is intended as complimentary of the SF genre; your's, OTOH, implies that there's something inherently wrong with all of it.
My glass is at least half-full; how about yours?
