CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I was a major board gamer; Star Fleet Battles by Task Force Games was our favorite. That one is chock-full of schematics. I always loved to play the Romulans.Not to my level. I've met a ton of these folks in real life and went to conventions as a kid. In junior high I was studying schematics of the various starships (as if they were real!? LOL!), and I owned, yes, owned Mark Okrand's Klingon Dictionary. I know, disturbing indeed
I'll never forget the time I was down in Pasadena, CA at a convention and was looking for a ballroom where Jonathan Frakes was supposed to be speaking. I went into the wrong board room and there were 30 people dressed head to toe in 100% legit Klingon make-up, wigs, and armor gear. I kid you NOT! They were speaking in Klingon and they all turned to me looking furious that someone would accidentally open up that door! "Ka cha huk cha-qui bunai kup ha" they were all discussing God-knows-what! I closed that door like I had seen a ghost!
I saw Gene Roddenberry speak about 9 months before he passed away. At the time I felt like Roddenberry was an ethereal heaven-sent genius superhero. It was years later that I learned about his intense atheism and devotion to secular humanism and distaste for religion that really disappointed me in a massive way.
Star Trek will always be something I love, but the secular humanist stuff that permeates it to some degree makes me want to ralf.

That was my favorite of those three. I'm saving the better ones.
(And looking for a cleaned-up version of my favorite.)

My friends and I dabbled a touch in those D&D style Star Trek role-playing games. Good times. We looked like the kids on "Stranger Things" on Netflix.
Speaking of Stranger Things, has anyone in here watched the show? I loved it! It was like Goonies meets E.T. meets John Carpenter flicks. Pure heaven for an 80's purist like yours truly!
