May be I am actually STS at my core.
Maybe, Confused, but I don't think so.

I love you unconditionally, and if you resent it I'll smack you around until you stop. (This is a take on the cartoon sign on a pirate ship that says "Floggings will continue until morale improves!")
Seriously though, I wonder about the resentment. Did you post about it somewhere? Maybe you are an STS wanderer who wants to hold onto that path but got caught up in this foul and disturbing STO environment.

Any input on this subject would be highly appreciated. I don't count myself as STO nor do I count myself as STS -- make of that whatever you want.
I don't have a knee-jerk argument to this, pp, and wouldn't do that anyway.

However as I extend your STS scheme in my mind, I see warrior groups battling to achieve dominance. Our planet had examples of that, such as feudal Japan and medieval Europe. Maybe we have what we do now as a pendulum swing.
Not counting yourself as STS nor STO means that you hold yourself above the rest of us, you arrogant bastard.

More seriously, I consider myself in STO, but have tried to influence the b4th community against thinking that any bad behavior indicates STS and that any STSers are inherently evil. They fell into their Choice after weighing their talents and circumstances, and otherwise mostly were/are not much different than most of us STO types.
