That last item was the cause of the controversy. I did not consider marine simming to be of interest and I also found the marine characters themselves to be out of tune with characters in the rest of Trek. Shortly after my departure I wrote what I still consider to be a [[http://www.starbase118.net/forums/index.php?/topic/5248-marines-vs-starfleet/page__st__20__p__278203#entry278203|short manifesto]] that expresses my thoughts on the matter. Indeed, I made a promise not to write any more on the subject but instead to leave the document / post as my thoughts for the record. | That last item was the cause of the controversy.

The response to the post was mixed and more or less negative, usually centering on my use of quotes from actual marine sims. It should be noted that the intent behind those quotes was not to attack the individual authors but rather to provide a bit more strength to my argument. However, I do concede the point that some might have been offended. |
