Because I had to put with jokes like that when I was a kid in school and now that I'm an adult I'm tired of them.

Ok. No jocular ribbing. You’re on the snowflake list. If I can be bothered to remember who you are, I will no longer address or respond to you. I apologize for my lame attempt at humour.
Actually, I won’t post here anymore. I expected mature discussion. You’re just a bunch of fan-boy geeks and nerdettes. Basements indeed!
With those social skills, I bet you’re a hoot at parties!
I was selecting quotes to explain to you better forum etiquette @ORIGINALVIEWER but there were too many.
So, let's quickly deal with your judgement on LA Graf's use of the Pens for background characters (speaking as a fan of ice hockey, I remember when I realised they were using the names and I loved feeling like I was in on the joke). You are entitled to your opinions of the books, but not to insult authors directly.
This however, cannot be let pass. Yes, you absolutely can resist posting something like that, and while you may pass it off as a joke, you know and we know that it's intended as an insult and a completely unwarranted one. I am issuing with a warning for flaming - we don't allow posters to insult other posters.
Yeah... well, that sums up everything really.

I have to admit, I was a bit embarrassed admit at first that I live with my mom, but once I did everybody was cool about it.
Just for a bit of context, the reason I live with my mom is because I have social anxiety and my mom is the only person I'm comfortable enough to live with. I tried to live with strangers in the university dorms for a couple semesters, but I just couldn't handle it.

Pal, I got separated from my wife during Quarantine and have been at my dad’s for the last three months. My sister, who was a lawyer and is now a nurse, has been here for two years. Where you hang your hat doesn’t count as to whether or not you’re a success. But, it also sounds like you’re a kid with this talk about the dorms. So, when you’re old enough and have a career going, get your own place without any roomies. You’ll like that even better than living with mom!
Not sure you've mentioned it.
I'm 32. The dorm thing was back when I got out of high school in the late '00s.
It came! I just had a call to say my copy of ST TMP Inside the Art & Visual Effects had arrived, so I hopped on my bike and cycled into town to pick it up.
And here it is, ably showed off by my little Pop Fold Box Fox, Rutherford

I received a copy of the new Star Trek The Motion Picture Special Effects and Art book. It's very beautiful, although I would have liked to have seen more of the archival close up pictures of V'Ger's interior that showed some astounding design work. There's alternative V'Ger ship concepts, which make me think of how the novelization describes the V'Ger ship.
Also intriguing are some details about the McQuarrie redesign of the Enterprise, which later inspired the Discovery. There are hints that in versions of the story, the Enterprise was going to fly near a black hole, which would bridge the gulf between different times, and evolve the crew to a higher state of technological understanding, after which they augment the Enterprise with advanced technology beyond the current time. I'm unfamiliar with this aspect of the Phase II to TMP story development of ideas; was the idea to start out with the classic television version of Enterprise, and have the augmentations transform it into the McQuarrie configuration?
