Default More Oye.

It has nothing to do with the post being over looked - though that does seem to be a pervasive problem around here - but rather the stupid nitpicking over something as incredibly dumb as terminology!

EVERYONE knows that the Laser effects in Star Wars are pulses.

EVERYONE knows that the Phaser effects from Trek are beams.

EVERYONE knows Babylon 5 uses both, neither of which look like Trek or Wars.

So for people to sit back and complain about the use of the word laser to describe the "Turbo Laser" effect as seen in Star Wars is just - so - stupid.

Its nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking, about a subject to plain and obvious as to make the nitpicking its self an act of belligerence.
