I don't think there is any comment I could add that could possibly improve on the epic hilarity of STO thread (except to make the obligatory observation that this guy would do well at ACF), so I will just c&p.
http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=251266
"I am writing to you in defense of the poor souls of the Federation players who are being bullied by the Klingon players in the max rank, level 50, version of the Space War Zone Ker’rat System.
I hereby put before you the proposition of closing off the Ker’rat War Zone to Klingon warriors... I was attacked by Klingon players brutally, without mercy... but the bitterness at Klingons is only made a rock solid reality in that system. I myself decided for months that I wanted no Klingon character because of the wretched attitudes of its warriors. The insults to the Klingon players are well deserved in there for their bullying, and it is bullying, because they run away if you get the upper hand. Yet they will send three of their guys on you just after you start attacking a Borg Cube...If you all at Cryptic, and Perfect World for that matter, let this go on, then in the spirit of the Golden Rule, you cannot yourselves complain if you yourselves are bullied. The Golden Rule is as follows:
Matthew 7:12 KJV, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.â€
To put it a little more simply:
Luke 6:31 KJV, “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.â€
These Klingons are breaking this rule, or else they are saying they themselves should be bullied. As a Christian it is not in my place to bully, God is my Father and He has more power than anyone. He has promised to get vengeance for His children (Romans 12:19), so on account of those who have bullied me, they are forgiven. But you at Cryptic, as the game’s developers and administrators, have the responsibility to enforce justice on STO, and you need to exercise it. End bullying, close Ker’rat to the Klingons."

Christian nerds. 
Thankfully they grow out of it by the time they are 25 or so, or even earlier if they somehow manage to lose their virginity before then.
The guy will be tatted and wearing goth makeup in a year or two telling every god is dead.

That seems to be a fairly standard (stupid) "fairness in pvp" whine, just couched in biblical references. I've never really understood expectations of that kind of fairness in games where humans are involved and compete against each other.

It could be a clever troll...combining PvP whining with Christian overtones just seems a little too baited. Still funny either way, though.

Don't need to buy it, it's F2P. Though I doubt you can get to Ker'rat without buying something along the way.

I have a lowbie Klingon toon designed purely to stomp newbies. 
Not the greatest game ever but it'll do till GW2.
