What does it matter that the Death Star is bigger?
It doesn't. What matters is the firepower the thing packs. Since the Dyson Sphere has no weapons that I'm aware of, it's size doesn't matter in the least to a military engagement. Nor does the Death Star's, except insofar as it's bulk makes the number of weapons it mounts possible.
IIRC this tread was going about size comparison. I dont give a fuck about weapons or not

Because our Resident Whore is so desperate to wank over a victory from something in field of whoring he's willing to pull up the most irrelevant examples available.
Aw, yes. Comparing the Death Star's size to that of a Borg cube is all nice and dandy, but dare to mention something bigger than the Death Star, and oh no! Wanker!!
Properly-developed people accept that 'their stuff' can't be best at everything and have enough social sense to shut up about it.
Because I was, you know, claiming the Borg were best at everything. Oh wait, what the fuck does the Dyson Sphere have to do with the Borg? Precisely jack shit.
I suspect that he (as always) is so detached from the idea that the internet involves intteracting with people it doesn't occur to him that when real people read the crap he writes for his self-deluded chest-puffing they think 'what a fucking tool', as opposed to 'hahaha wow, that's hilarious and brilliant and we think you're as great as you pretend you are'.
I can't begin to express my level of depression someone online may not like my opinions or comments in a science fiction thread. Woe is me!
If Walper only jumped at opportunities to verbally wank in some kind of aloof, self-applauding manner on even a *somewhat* infrequent basis, I wouldn't have noticed. I also woundn't have noticed if his post wasn't a direct smiley-ridden retort to a comment about the size of a Borg cube. Gee, I'm sure nobody else around here is tired of him doing that...

Of course you don't give a shit; I already told you you have no sense of attachment or reality of discussions/conversations here, I recall others have already told you here you treat everything like you can be an ass and just laugh it off like we're videogame characters. Everyone seems to already know you don't want to hear your fanwhoring, except for you.

Mr. Walper, as I stated in my post, the knowledge to build a structure like the Dyson sphere could very well be lost. We haven't seen anything similar in the Trek timeline and no more has been found. Alas, the Dyson sphere is an anomaly in Trek and doesn't really earn a spot in the debate.

Have a problem with my particular sci fi interest, perspective and board behavior? I really don't care. The vast majority of my interactions and SDN contacts are quite friendly and enjoyable (even with those I have often butted heads with). You're the exception rather than the rule. Don't expect me to lose sleep over the old "Walper's teh fanwhore!?!" mentality.

The thread in question was about simple size comparisons, not debates about numerical avaliability or military prowess of said structures. I mentioned the Dyson sphere because it is also an extremely large structure, which is on topic.

Exactly. And what does it have to do with any of the other major players? Again, jack shit. And, the Dyson sphere doesn't have any military worth at all.
Since the thread is purely about size comparisons, what's your point?

It's the fucking self-pleased congratulatory way that you do this shit that aggrivates the other people whom you perceive as nothing more than simulated video game characters.

Funny, when I read his posts I always get an impression of "Neener neener *wink*" sort of like Col. Crackpot and I wanking about our respective football teams in OT.....Fucking patriots...Oh, I mean...go AFC.

Honestly, I don't know how one would go about treating others as "video game characters". Since I don't have this problem with alot of online contacts (many of whom are from SDN), I can only speculate that this is a rather unique perception with a select few. *shrugs*

That's how I'd describe myself. I mean come on, you can only take this subject matter so seriously all the time.
Mind you, I've been making an effort to stay away from the more serious debates in sci fi.
It's the way you blow everything off, particularly in debates. Everything said to you just rolls off your skin and you reset your position of interaction, because we're not real, just NPCs for you to talk to.

So what you're saying is that in regards to this online board, I don't allow myself to get overly worked up about matters that in the end, really aren't that important in life (like "teh Borg cube wins!11!!")? I'll consider that a compliment, thank you.
PS: Mods, maybe split this? While I'm compelled to respond certain posts aimed at me, hijacking the thread was not my intent.

Technically I could address the fact that the Hijack was waaaaaaaaay back when you mentioned the Dyson Sphere, which was just you wanking for no reason then to go "Ha, take that!"
So we'll just have this in one shitpile instead of two or three.

I really don't get it. This is the Star Wars Versus Star Trek forum. The topic was about size comparisons, and I brought up Star Trek one.
Qualifying as "Ha take that!"? I suppose it does, but then so does the Death Star against the Enterprise or Borg cube. We know it's big.
I'm sorry, but IMHO, I'm sensing a double standard here...

I gets even better if you know two details of the construction:
1.)Everything was shipped secretly to Endor just by Xizor's shipping company.
2.)They mostly transported just raw material that was transformed into the parts for DS-II directly at construction site.
Lucas obviously has a very small penis. In universe wise though, the Death Star is quite an achievement 6 months... geez.

And Vader showed up to bitch out Jerrjerrod because it wasn't going fast enough...
6 months... geez.
