    Yeah I read that just a minute ago. I was going to call bullshit, but I knew it would end up, well, we see where it would have led to.

    I seem to recall several transgender folks get on to you because you've done that in the past, like to @Tererun.

    I just want to clear something up here. I think I accidentally called out @Amaris as transgender because I looked at her profile because she had a different avatar or something and I was like, “who is that?” and it said female underneath. Then I was like ‘what?” It then went from there. I don’t remember how everything followed, but she had already changed her profile, but it’s my fault it got out before she was ready to tell anyone.

    Wait, when and why did TNZ become private? I honestly haven't posted at TrekBBS in at least 10-15 years so I'm clearly out of the loop.

    Mistakes don't bother me, it's when people do it with malicious intent. That bothers me.

    That's just the thing, I don't think he hates me. Is he a dick to me from time to time, yes, but hates me, no. WAB, he hates me.

    It is a hidden forum. You can't access it unless you opt-in after joining.

    Then they've changed some things since my time.
    I distinctly remember hopping right over there once I had a password.

    I understand that, but that wasn't always true. Back when I joined TrekBBS and was active there, TNZ was readily accessible to everyone without extra effort. The only hidden non-mod forums were the various lounges related to your rank. I'm curious when that switch happened for TNZ and why it was done.

    It was mainly done to hide what was considered TBBS' dirty laundry at the time, it used to be a lot more nasty than it is now and there were concerns that it would ward off any potential new members IIRC

    All that tells me is you don't understand what 'credible source' means.

    Here's a hint.

    I doubt you'll find any major news outlet that ran with the 6 years accusation.

    Because they are all in the tank for Biden? Nah.

    Because they require two sources. And no one else verified the claim.

    Note that the one NPR did was a chat transcript of an interview - it wasn't a news story.

    Everyone ran with the lawsuit which stated that it went back to 2018. Even Fox and Breitbart.

    He's harmless :shrug:

    He's not a nasty person that hides behind humor, like you are, so he has that going for him

    You and I would get along just fine IRL. You're like my step-brother, we don't talk politics and we're good. We can talk Star Trek all day long. The problem with you is you're a consumer and nothing else. You're the guy RLM makes fun of in their Nerd Crew videos and you don't accept critcism, even minor criticism, very well. Then you go off about CHUDs and whatnot. When confronted with anything that might challenge you, you prove you're just a bullshiter as UA likes to say, with posts like the one @Ten Lubak pointed out. You just don't seem capable of thinking outside of your left wing bubble. @Asyncritus called you out on that. Now you might say the same about me, but I'm sure there are people here that'll back me up when I say I am capable of thinking outside of my right wing bubble. My posting history will also back this up.

    Oh! Wait! That was you!

    Now excuse me, I have to go sleep like a baby on my pillow of justice.

    And when someone is trying to be candid with you and actually have a conversation, you mark it TL;DR and move past it.

    Always a reason why this time it's different. I think I should have used that in the last part of the joke instead of "summer camp." It's different when Obama did it, it's different when Joe Biden does it. Trump, though, what an awful man to cage children.

    I think it was right after the move to Xenforo. Once the option to opt-in was made available by software rather than mod approval, it was easier to manage that way.

    So you keep repeating, without substantiating a single thing. :D

    I read the whole thing.
    I can't help but read shit, my speed and retention are a blessing and a curse.
    I just started to eyeroll at "just a consumer" and "RLM" and didn't wanna deal with it anymore.

    They did around the software change, sometime after, once it became clear they could have the software manage opt-ins.
    That said, it's not so much that @Ten Lubak posted the transgender thing, as most of you here know. It's that I could have been posting something no one knew about here, and he had no problem dragging it from a private forum, which it is as a hidden, opt-in only forum, to throw out in a public forum as some kind of "gotcha." It was a nasty, bullshit move that goes beyond just the usual wordplay people do here.

    So why aren't these Obama-era hysterectomies part of the lawsuit, and why aren't right-wing sources covering them extensively to make Trump look better? :chris:

    He knows.
    He tries to deflect it away by trying to James Gunn other people, but he knows damned well what he is, what he does, and that we all know it.
