Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"?

Scroll up.
See how they reacted to my mirthful humor-intended comment, meme face and all, about the dubiousness of the writer-contrived “reformed” character mentioned.
Play enlightened mediator all you want but you responded to my post in particular, 16 hours later. As usual, enlightened centrism is clearly leaning somewhere.

This does not read as mirthful, it just seems like a mean-spirited, dismissive misrepresentation of their position . Sorry for bringing up what you said yesterday

To me, neither does this:
So what about any of that screams “the Terran Empire did nothing wrong” to you? Or would you rather keep deflecting?
Hypocrisy is super common among people that wave around pretenses of enlightened mediation, so I’m not surprised. Playing the “mean spirited” card while selectively ignoring the escalating petty hostility from the other poster isn’t surprising either.
I’d rather just move on. If some edgy fan wants to stan for edgy characters from what might be the worst of recent Trek shows, I can’t stop them. What I said about what I see as red flags is only highlighted by that exchange, and will further advise me any time I see another edgy fan stanning for the Terran Empire or the like.

Their reply was after your facetious comment with the meme face. Have you considered they were trying to meet your energy?

All of this hinges on you thinking that my meme-faced comment, loaded with space-this and space-that word choices, was insufficiently mirthful.
You’re taking this exchange way too seriously.
