Although the greater responsibility is to not offend. It’s called manners.

I don’t remember a cute Asian guy on DS9, and trust me, I would have. Do you mean Harry Kim? He’s on Voyager. (And he’s Tom Paris’ trick.)

Matt, somehow you got the quoting above screwed up a little. The “cute chinky boy” line was Esprix’s, not mine.

Whatsamatter, **pthalis** - got something against cute chinky boys? 😉

**matt** , I was referring to “Ensign Redshirt” who got picked off before the first commercial. There was a DS:9 episode in the very beginning of the last season right after Ezri showed up, and they’d taken this visiting ensign out drinking, and Ezri walked him back to his quarters, and he was a little drunk and hit on her… and then got wasted by some wacked-out homicidal Vulcan. The episode involved Ezri getting in touch with Joral, her psychotic past host, to “be a killer to find a killer.” Odo, of course, stopped her in time before she actually killed herself (IIRC).

But the dead chinky boy was adorable. 😉
