Perhaps a new forum rule is called for.

I propose:

"DO NOT DISCUSS OR ARGUE ABOUT RELATIVE SPACESHIP SIZES. UNDERSTOOD?"

(Length is designed to fit in with the other Forum Rules.)

Thanks

Not to start anything. No offense intended. Not to feed a troll. Please pardon my being terse.

Feel free to add your own forum disclaimer up there, but anyone who doesn't already know that from posting, reading, or lurking here really shouldn't *BE* here, should they? The staff has said plenty of things -- "Don't investigate so closely." "It's a space opera, stop nitpicking." -- that already, clearly state that petty arguments of that type aren't welcomed here.

Again, not to start anything, and my tolerance for all things not said by me is way off today, but as a random poster, that rule seems a bit redundant. That is, though, just me.
