In Reply to: The poster's logic lacks Vulcanization! ;^) posted by Audiophilander on December 1, 2001 at 01:31:05:
"Actually, I defended it sufficiently and moved on to the more troubling topic of your SF genre bashing."Why is "SF genre bashing" troubling ?
Again you attach a special status to SF. You said nothing about Star Trek - go back and read your own posts.
"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!"
Yeah.....riiiiight. (That was 2 posts ago Auph, what's wrong ? Can't summon enough imagination to continue the personal insults ?) Again you try and create facts from your own opinion. What is obvious is that people who lack imagination tend to seek out even the most modest and superficial display of it- like SF.
"As for my supposed efforts at painting SF's critics as being the moral equivalent of racists, that's a stretch."
It might be a stretch for a feeble mind, but that's precisely the inference you made.
"...I'm not making moral comparisons."
You mean you tried, but you didn't get away with it and lacked the skills in discourse to take the point further.
"When armchair SF critics..."
Now that's funny. I suppose there are other types of SF critics who fly about in their super- duds.
"but as a means of ridiculing that which they don't understand nor desire to understand, much less appreciate."
Sure Auph,SF is SO beyond ridicule because it is SO special,SF is SO hard to understand, Star Trek is SO hard to understand- nonsense. What did I say about SF ?
-"SciFi is mostly about making money from adolescents, and those who have not left adolescence."- to which you took umbrage, remember ?"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."
I said nothing of the kind.
"My glass is at least half-full; how about yours?"
Do you think greeting cards have nice poetry as well ?
