So this is his latest obsession. He stages a revolution in the Continuum, wins it, has a child, and he's *still* completely besotted with ridiculous mortals, to the point where he's got nothing better to do than send them letters. Using this ludicrously primitive network, no less.
If you're going to play at being a mortal, do it. Immerse yourself in it. Don't take to yourself the privileges of omnipotence and yet obsess over communicating with mortals. I can't believe how absurd he is. And talking to them as if they could actually give him insight? Whining endlessly about his problems with the child? (Which, frankly, don't surprise me. The child is spoiled rotten. I might have expected Q to have no concept of discipline.)
How completely ridiculous. Also, completely expected. I knew he'd be up to something stupid, although I boggle at quite how stupid.

Wow. This is gonna get me in so much trouble...

Does omnipotence mean that you can't understand that some people like to do things in a certain way, and others don't care for those methods? Wasn't that what half your war was about?
You keep looking down on humanity, and mortal races in general - but we can look at another human and say "Well, he lives his life differently from mine, but its not hurting him, its just different." and its not considered a -good- thing to be set in our ways and unable to accept differences.
WE had wars about that centuries ago, and learned our lesson.
Oh, stop quivering in your boots. I don't touch Travellers.
Date: 2003-04-19 09:46 am (UTC)What I have a problem with is being openly and blatantly a Q and still interacting with mortals as if they were your friends. We aren't on the same level. The power differential cannot help but corrupt. I will admit that as lesser species go humans are rather good at being able to reject omnipotent beings, but how pathetic do you have to be to pine after a species that has repeatedly rejected you? Without doing something about it, such as taking a completely different mortal form and opening interactions with them without revealing who and what you are?
He has better things to do and he still does this. When he was an outcast more than half the time and bored out of his mind the rest of it, I could understand why he'd engage in such an immature pastime. But this is ridiculous.
I didn't say in trouble with you.

Date: 2003-04-19 10:11 pm (UTC)They had all better wake up. We've been here longer than most of them and we're not likely to go away. They still have to deal with us; hiding and pretending we're not there is completely useless.
