Wow. This is one LONG thread to read, especially if you aren't the world's best Hebrew reader.
But dutifully I sat down and spent the better part of my morning reading the views, agreement and disagreements located here.
I speak for myself and only for myself. (Disclaimer etc…) Forgive my English.
1. My impression is that the ‘“Raging” Nir on the Road’ column is a severe satire s seen from one person’s viewpoint, and does not mean that the world listens. He’s a fairly humoristic character (with a lot of Nir-like tendencies, I’ll allow) and brings interesting issues to light.
The fact that one article has spawned so much chatter is impressive to me, because it shows that on many levels, these words have taken hold and can be interpreted in many ways.
2. I will admit, I breathed a sigh of relief when “Buffy” got canceled. Even more so for “Angel”, and now I get to relax knowing that “Farscape” and “Enterprise” are now retired to reruns. But on the same level, I find it reprehensible that “Smallville” is still running. It’s all about personal taste.
3. Anyone who knows me could say that they know I am an avid Anti-Buffy fan. Yes, I stay true to the original movie, however bad it was, and find the series blasphemous. This doesn’t prevent me from having friends who are dedicated to the ideas and ideals portrayed in the show. We’re all kooky sorts, and I love having good target for ridicule, which is usually met with no small amount of energy from the other end. It’s all fun and games. Unless, as previously mentioned somewhere in this thread, this is the center of one’s universe.
Nobody likes their beliefs ridiculed. But I believe that these are people who have take a hobby WAY too far into their own lives.

I know that I can stand up, walk away from the entire genre, and still be me. I’d rather not, because of the added value the people and stories that can be told add definite color into my life. I participate in ST-type events. Hell, I’ve been a Klingon. Twice. Does this make me a hell-bound Trekkie (or Trekker…. I can’t ever follow)? I think not.

I like the ideas portrayed by the genre. Think beyond the current capabilities. Let’s see what we can come up with, outside the box.
Most importantly, let’s not step on each other’s toes.

I’ve rambled on long enough. Let my words take wing, and return with good tidings.

Ridiculing *ideas* for the sake of argument - fun and games, if the opponent is armed enough and ready for a battle of wits.
Ridiculing *people* for the sake of gloating - simple cruelty.
