Because you made the claim.

If you are asked for evidence to support a claim you've made, you should either produce this evidence or concede the point until such time as you can produce this evidence. People who consistently ignore requests for evidence to support their claims (particularly contentious claims) are not looked upon kindly here.
For ever astronimy web site it lists at least some info on the size distribution of galixies. For every one of 100,000LY there are 100 less than 10,000LY across. For every one of 10,000 there are 100 of ~1,000LY. You do any kind of analysis you like but the numbers will show that the average is less than 10,000LY across.
I see you're not going to support your claim, so you were, in fact, lying again.
So far it has all been from memory. I have to leave for the rest of the week but when I get back I will post links and text from some of the various astronomical web sites. It never occured to me that all of the space fans on this board would be ignorant of these facts. Back next Friday or saterday after noon. GAG.

There are 6 or 7 types of spiral galaxy and they come in all sizes. so if there is some canon deffinition of which type of spiral galaxy it is then modest must mean smaller than average. One of the other poster's stated that "Modest" could also mean "Average". I do not see how any of the deffinitions posted so far might be construed to mean this but if it is and the average is less than 10,000LY across, how does that help your side?
Unless it is a given that it is a spiral galaxy.
Wait a sec: I can't seem to see anything of mine in all this mess... Why does my name appear in the quote tag?

Then you admit to violating a posted rule you implicitly agreed to follow by posting here.

Actually, I doubt you will. The reason is, I now have your confession to breaking the rules of this site, and you can rest assured it will be presented to the Senate for consideration in your banning.

The facts are simply not what you hallucinate them to be. It's that simple; we're not ignorant, you're just a liar.

I suspect you will never be back. I suggest you please find the links and texts now; otherwise, I will verbally tear your scrotum from your body and cram it down your throat.

I know he seems to be completely ignoring direct orders from two supermods. Perhaps he thinks Nitram and I are playing around. I'd be happy to disabuse him, as I'm sure Nitram would be.

Your ban poll is only going to have a three day timer. Your account will be locked down and your corpse will be on display in Parting Shots before you return from your imaginary vacation. You basically have tonight to back up your claims, and then the poll goes up.

But that's not valid! Everybody knows Saxton inflated the figures to make Wars look better than Trek!

Ban Poll? I gave him the honor of my sword....off to the river Styx with you psytroll. Ignore supermods, refuse to give evidence despite repeated demands and now a mythical vacation? You won't have eyes tonight, you won't have ears or a tongue and all the dead will know this is Psyborg the fool who thought he trolled SD.Net.

Off to Parting Shots we go. Banaton 2006 rolls right along, and what a fine time we're all having.

Told you so, Psyborg.

No doubt this retard from Rockford Illinois will now run around saying that he was banned for being a Trekkie rather than being shitcanned for dishonesty. It seems to be a popular lie among trolls.
