On a message board discussing a side-topic of a show where a man brought together an ensemble cast of different cultures, races, etc. to show the world race didn't matter, gave us our first interracial kiss, had the Captain parading around green women's pants, the logical Vulcan raging because he wasn't getting any, an Engineer who drank often and yeoman who wore skimpy dresses while bringing said Captain his coffee, and discussing that in the realm of fiction... yes, it's plenty fine to be wrong. It's not that big of a deal.

You're free to have your opinion, and your point is reasonable. Even parts of it valid. But when Roddenberry created Trek, he wanted to create his dramatic-while-the-kids-were-in-school cop shows with a bit of Western "exploration" and put it in space. This was mentioned in an interview a long while back during the beginning of Next Gen.

I'm not going to hold it against you for being incorrect, and I say this in the most friendliest, kindest tone I can translate across text but... lighten up. We're here just talking. It's not a contest. At the end of the day, even if you were correct... I wouldn't feel bad about it and instead would walk away learning something new, ya know.
