Pathetic.

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...

but after the week I'm having, it can't get any worse.

Do you guys just not have a concept of "Live and let live."?

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.

I wouldn't exactly call it that.

I really don't want to get involved in your problems with Q (I remember all too well what happened the last time I was dragged into Continuum affairs against my will. And the time before that as well). However, I really feel you're not being fair to Q. Yes, he can be quite irritating at times. And yes, he has his own way of doing things which doesn't necessarily correspond with anyone else's views of what is appropriate. However, he still manages to do just fine. His success at achieving change in the Continuum, his love for and devotion to his child (and his willingness to be there for him, which entails much sacrifice on his part--a sacrifice you were unwilling or unable to make until now) speaks volumes. I would hardly call him stupid or pathetic.

And for all your talk about 'immersing yourself' in being a mortal, you clearly haven't learned very much from the experience if you scoff at the idea of consorting with them and 'talking to them as if they could actually give him insight.' Q has clearly learned something about basic friendship that continues to elude you.
