Not every pay a monthly fee like me or aol users even if it is a monthly fee.

It is also a little hypocritical to tell her not to do it when there are plenty of
others who just post one or two word comments in a post that is 5 pages long.
I agree. I know I do it myself, but it *is* stupid to quote an entire
message and only add one line. Not only does it cost people money (like me,
I pay per minute on-line), but also, it makes it almost impossible to keep
up with the ng on work days. And I've seen worse posts than PeachTrek's. At
least it was all *new* (though not very original <eg>).
From now on, I'll seriously do the snipping thing. Snipping is *good*.

Never thought I'd defend Julianna, but here goes:
Julianna and me are not friends. She hates Tom. She hates Chakotay. It would
take several sessions of drinking and talking and trying to find things to
agree on, including a "Well, I don't actually *hate* them" line from her
before we could ever become friends.
Okay, so that's the weirdest speech I've ever used to defend anybody.

True. *But*, its like AOL and WebTV peeps. Are they ~all~
stupid twits? No. Just enough to give a bad name that is
easily applied whenever the situation warrants. Same with
P/T'ers... There are some very nice P/T'ers out there...
they are just overshadowed by the louder, dumber segment.
So who is considered the louder and dumber set? Think real hard
before you answer that and what do you mean louder and dumber.
...who make someting of nothing... <g> <<
Who by definition make a big deal out of nothing. :-D
Why are you guys so mean spirited to people who dont like the

I wasn't dismissing anyone's opinions. I was merely pointing what I perceive
to be a certain irony in the situation.
We aren't. We just have something called a sense of humor.
Well, not to put too fine a point on it...
Rhonda and PeachTrek would be two fine examples.
Did you think I was implying you, Michele? Tsk. Tsk. I've
said its easy to push your buttons, but I've never called
you dumb or stupid.
No, we just see the chemisty that P/T'ers do. Infact, I
havnt seen jack crap between the two of them since... S.3 at

Oh no. I'd be totally friendless in that case. :)) It's just that if we did
the bonding thing, I could say Tuvok has the best body on Voy, and you could
say that you didn't actually *hate* Tom and Chakotay, and we'd both be happy
and *then* we could start having *friendly* arguments.
Andrea :))
Good point. But then again, I suppose the two of you do occasionnally have
*fun* together, have late night conversations about things that you're both
interested in, I suppose you listen patiently when he's enthusiastically
telling you about a golf match, and that he's happy for you whenever you
find a rare stamp. It's that being interested in *each other*, enjoying
being together now and again and just *talk*, to find out more about each
other's thoughts and dreams and everything, that the P/T relationship
lacks. IMHO.

Not from me. My complaint is that they are too similar to have any chemistry.
It's conflict/contrast that creates chemistry. Just about any couple is
reasonably fun to watch when they are interested in each other but won't admit
it. Gets boring once they get together, though, unless they have contrasting
personalities.
The writers try to fake chemistry by having Tom and B'Elanna fight over silly
things, but it doesn't hide the fact that underneath it, they are far too
similar to be an interesting couple.
(Note: I am talking about dramatic chemistry here, not to be confused with
real-life relationships.)

Below the belt.
A person's spelling doesn't necessarily reflect /anything/ about her
intelligence or state of mind -- especially on the Internet, where
correct spelling and grammar are very much optional.
I also doubt you'd enjoy being laughed at and talked about in the third

Indeed :-(
Being dyslexic I ardently hate it when someone is derided for thier
spelling. I get along fine becasue I was lucky enough to have a teacher that
recognised my problem and I was taught accordingly. Even so I still can't
work out how to spell words that are new to me or I don't often use. I spell
them so badly that it takes a number of attempts before the spell checker
will even recognise them to correct. With character names you can forget it.
I sometimes cut and paste the names from other people's posts to make sure I
get it right.
It is sad when people choose to make fun of someone becasue of thier
spelling - you don't know the reasons behind it.

Okay, Tuvok has the best body on Voy, it's just the head that turns me off.

Oh come on, in order to let Tuvok have the best Voy body, there *have* to be
other people on Voy.

Seriously, I'd really like to see one of the P/T-ers post some serious,
intelligent thoughts on why P/T is meant to be. I'm awfully sorry if I
offend anyone, but so far I've never come across a P/T fan who could offer
more than pointing back at Blood Fever, as if that ep should explain it all.
Several people - including me - have stated that they *did* see the
chemistry in earlier eps. I want to know why P/T-ers *still* believe. What
is it that other people don't see? *Why* did they get married? What drove
them in Drive?
Really, I'm prepared to have a normal, polite discussion about the whole
thing, but I do need some well-founded P/T-ers point of view to start with.

You are asking for a full blizzard sent your way... though actually he
has the best head, too. The most expressive eyes at least.

well, there are: Neelix, Harry, the Doc, Janeway, B'Elanna, Carey,
Vomit, Icheb, Naomi, Seven, Chell, Tabor, etc. the list is endless!

I haven't seen any. The only thing they ever say is: "they have
*great* chemistry." The fact that nobody except them sees it is
obviously irrelevant. If you tell them that Tommy abuses B'Elanna and
that she has become completely submissive which is not a positive
development for her they will ignore this point and tell you you are
reading too much into what is basically bad writing only detracting
from their favorite couple. Etc.
I'm sure 99.9% of them wouldn't want to be in a relationship like the
one B'Elanna is in right now. Even less a marriage of that kind. But
they still think it's the best couple ever.
(shrug)
We used to have one here. Her name was Julie. Maybe she'll come back and
answer your challenge.
Is that so, Shammie?
You know what? /I'll/ do it. I have to go to class now, but if you
guys actually are interested in hearing from someone who's not anti-P/T,
and nobody else wants the job, I'll do what I can.
(But only if you really do intend to listen to me. I know there are
anti-P/Ters who simply don't pay any attention to opposing arguments. I
don't think you guys are in that category -- I hope I don't have to
change that belief.)
I doubt you will ever see such a post, because all PTers know that on this ng
anything they post will be shot down simply because it is a PT post.
Basicly we feel why give the people on this ng another chance to make fun of
them and deride Tom and insult Robbie McNeill. But we saw the chemistry as far
back as Faces before TPTB did.
A proud member of the PTC and PTF.
Oh my...
I don't believe P/T works, but I certainly don't hold it against anyone who
does. I think we tend to get too personal with our opinions of other's
perceptions of the characters/actors on this show. I thought this post was
a bit over the top, but I took it in the spirit I thought it was given. A
light-hearted way of expressing one's enthusiasm for an aspect of the show
they like. I think some of the attacks on 'Peachie' went beyond
good-natured fun.
I think we could all stand to step back and lighten up a bit at times.

You do realize who you are talking about. I have to agree with Steve and
Natalie, and I want to say another thing I am appauld that some people who call
themselves regulars can be so rude to a person who is new to the group. I really
did not see a problem with Peach's post and I am glad to see new faces.
Hopefully she wasnt scared off by a few people. I just happen to think P/t is a
great couple given a chance.

I have to agree with you and it is so nice to see many p/t fans coming out. I hope
more come out of the dark corners of the ng.

PeachTrek isn't new. Wasn't she the one who started a flamewar here last year
by calling DJ a Nazi?
If that didn't scare her off, I doubt anything Julianna says will.
