    So women should be inhibited by your personal weaknesses. So say the Taliban.

    Having personal preferences doesn't make me the Taliban garamet.

    Nor does me not wanting them in central roles on in my favorite science fiction franchise.

    The original Star Trek did just fine without any women in prominent roles. And no, Nichelle Nichols doesn't qualify. She wasn't even in all the episodes and was merely a bit player in most of the ones she appeared in.

    You've said yourself that women are a distraction. Are you staring at their tits? What else could be distracting you?

    I'm not referring to being physically distracting. I'm referring to the fact that you can't deal with women and men in identical manners.

    Again, I've explained this before. More than once.

    You may not be able to. Most mature adults can. Out of curiosity, what's the ratio of women to male teachers in the schools where you've taught? Have you ever had a female boss?

    Oh God....is it because women roll their eyes when you talk about football and war, and don't make the Tim Allen doggie noise?
    That's it, isn't it?

    I couldn't give you more than an educated guess as to the ratio off hand. I have had a couple of female bosses.

    Out of curiosity, do you caterorgize your and daughter's opinions as "unimportant" when they don't concur with yours?

    did you mean to say "your wife and daughter's"?

    Depends on the circumstances. There are certain issues I do consider one or both of their opinions as "unimportant".

    There are other circumstances where their opinions are more valuable than mine.

    Are you unwilling to, or unable to? The rest of us are able to, for several reasons.

    All of my co counsel on my case are female. I have no problem dealing with them. Somehow my dick hasn’t fallen off.

    But it’s okay. Dayton prefers the company of men over all other. Exclusively. I tolerate your homosexual lifestyle. I’m not judging.

    There should be a rule that if someone negative reps you more than 10 times in a single thread that you should get to say "fuck you" no matter where it is.

    You can say that but it doesn't necessarily make it true.

    You respect John Wayne for his toughness then? I guess you respect him for his right wing politics and loathing of homosexuals as well?

    Ah yes. Four negative reps to my post yet not one actual reply.

    My idea allowing a "fuck you" if one personal gives 10 or more negative reps in a single threat to someone else regardless of the forum is still an excellent idea.

    I'm willing to compromise though. Instead of a "fuck you" if I may be allowed to issue a physical personal threat that would be fine.

    So.... I saw in some io9 article that the uniforms are supposed to move closer to TOS style as the series progresses, but that explaining why is apparently a spoiler? That's a bit of a relief.

    Oh, and Star Trek Online didn't get a license to include anything from Discovery yet. :( I'm told it took them a while to get permissions for Kelvin timeline stuff, so maybe there's hope.

    Wouldn't it be easier for you to keep your opinions in the BR or start a blog or a website where the only thing you had to read was your own opinions? You can do that on FB and it won't cost you anything.
