    Ah, so now that I’ve demonstrated my nerd cred is vastly larger than your own and your defense of “it was a joke in canon” doesn’t work, we’re dropping that angle of conversation and shifting directly back into personal attacks with a sprinkling of unwarranted superiority. I like how you went back and edited in that last sentence, presumably because you didn’t feel your comment was insulting enough? Which really should give you pause here. Why do something like that? I hope this behavior is just the product of a truly foul day or even intoxication, and that in the future you’re mature enough to revisit this with a less toxic attitude.

      You most certainly have not, else you would be aware of all the instances in the shows and movies a Klingon had made fun of someone for eating, or appears disgusted by, non-living Gagh. They may respect others choices, but they’ll still rib them a bit over it.

      I dropped that angle because you demonstrated that you did get the joke and you just woke up today and choose to be insufferable. A choice that I would bet you make more often than not.

        Yes, all those instances where food preferences were shown to be highly individual, and calling them out is shown to be rude. The exact point I made earlier in fact, that not respecting others choices is rude. I’m glad to see you agree with me, but I’m… confused as to why you’re continuing to insult me while doing so. It’s rather muddying your point here.

            You do remember how you just agreed with my point, yes? If this is just going to devolve into you attempting to save face by starting a flame war, I’m not particularly interested.

              I have not agreed with you at all. I’m starting to wonder if this is all due to you having a problem with reading comprehension.

                  I did not, and do not, agree with your interpretation of Klingon norms and mores. I dropped it because that was a digression caused by me incorrectly trying to come up with an explanation other than you being a natural born douchebag. But you successfully stomped all over that and have proved to me that you are just the absolute fucking worst.

                  And again, you should try to avoid cheapening serious words by using them where they don’t apply. It’s not ableism to wonder about an explanation. It would only be ableism if I gave you shit for it, and only then if it was actually due to a disability and not you being willfully ignorant. I suspect that this is a choice you’ve made, but that’s just a guess. If I’m wrong, you have my sympathies. But until you tell me otherwise, I’m going to keep assuming you are the way you are by choice and/or inclination not caused by disability.

                    Oh, more of this.

                    And again, you should try to avoid cheapening serious words by using them where they don’t apply.

                    You have spent hours both insulting and projecting motivations onto me - my earlier characterization of calling you toxic was possibly premature, but it has been utterly vindicated by your subsequent behavior. And no, attempting to explain the behavior of someone you’ve spent hours spewing various forms of invective against as being due to a fundamental flaw in their ability to reason (poor reading comprehension) is indeed ableism. That you’re now trying to couch it as somehow originally having been intended to convey that ‘I have chosen to have poor reading comprehension’ is both absurd and transparent, and I think we both know how flat it just fell.

                    I look forward to your next entry into whatever this is.
