I am a little concerned that ten forward now is declaring war on fascism. I have created this community as insurance and to judge community interest.

    The ‘crazy political belief’ was that fascists are not welcome in the Star Trek community. That’s all. I said I’d ban people who said they voted for Trump in TenForward because they go against absolutely every single thing that Star Trek stands for. They said if I was serious about that then they weren’t going to engage in the community any longer because anything could be argued is something Trek stands for, even being pro-fascism. Something that is blatantly untrue. They were also making posts for the past few days, even before the election, about how Trump isn’t so bad and all politics is bad. That people need to get over Trump winning and just get along. Tolerance Paradox stuff.

    If you have a bar and Nazis show up at the bar and you tolerate it then you now have a Nazi bar. I don’t play that game. This bartender punches Nazis.
