Not going into exacting frame counting detail is valid to a certain extent (especially considering alot of the sites interest lies in the history and politics of ST).
No, he just said that a 12 year old is perfectly qualified to do what he does. This is an explicit statement that he analyzes things on the level of a 12 year old. It doesn't matter to me whether he thinks it's not worthwhile to analyze them more thoroughly or whether he is simply incapable of doing so; either way, that's his avowed practice.

FYI one of the mods at EAS locked the thread because they don't want to watch it deginerate any further AND they think its pathetic that people are flaming eachother over the issue. There are some people who would rather the mess go away.

Then again, having DarkStar stir up the pot from time to time doesn't help.

BTW, does anyone else think that people who obsess over swearing are the less mature than people who swear? Having worked as a reporter and in high schools, I can safely say that the average person, by the time their a senior, has heard swearing consistently for at least five years. I kind of feel that people who go "OMG, you swore" are kind of immature in their attitudes.

The thread got locked because they didn't want to be proven wrong. There's nothing a paranoid fruitcake hates more than being proven wrong.

That place has got more nuts than a granola bar.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Perhaps they're not done blasting us for being "ravening orcs" yet. After all, you can never have too much holier-than-thou chest-beating over cuss-words, can you?

I love this on the second page:
Last time we tried to convince them otherwise, they started tearing the poor soul to shreds over there, and threatened to start a board war over it.
You come here... and WE are the ones starting the board war? I guess Kuwait started the Gulf War then, right?

Moving on...
? Too me it proves that you are more likley to be more of servant to him than to any other. Well ok not a servant, but someone who lost the will
Jesus, will this not die? Alyeska was made a mod because he was good, not because Wong is "keeping his enemies closer" or because Al is "sucking rabid warsie cock" or anything.

Bean, Ossus, Wong, Shadow
Since when is Shadow a warsie?
In all fairness the guy who said that got a strong worded response from myself and Alyseka (among others).
No I didn't. I have that thread open now. Neither one of you posted in it.


And since he seems to read here, open statement right now: Razor, you and me, one on one, debate.

On the last one, I realized you were referring to Darth Pounder in the thread, not me and the cross post. NM

Yes, I know, cross drilling and what not. But the actual war was Iraq invading. Perhaps I should have used poland and germany from WW2, but I was trying to avoid the "evil facist dictator" subtext.

I like Bernd's post when he says [paraphrased] "The bad thing with debating Darth Wong is that I had to agree with him most of the time, and he only agreed with me some of the time."

His doctorate degree shouldn't matter in terms of science if he genuinely doesn't have any technical knowledge. On the other hand, I have met VERY few stupid doctors. I'm not particularly familiar with this individual, and reserve judgement, but generally a person with a doctorate degree is someone to be respected for their knowledge. The paper in and of itself says little.

True, but only in his chosen field. A doctorate of theology, for example, carries no weight whatsoever in a discussion of evolution theory (actually, it might be considered a negative).

Most people on this site think that(according to the thread asking what you think of EAS) That it is a good site, and a few even think that its great. I dont think that flaming is appropriate, since many posters compimented the site on its resources.

It wouldn't be appropriate if they weren't already flaming us, its author talking shit about me even though I've never mentioned him here or on my site until now, etc.

It was literally years ago. He basically tried to argue that I'd been unfair to Trek. I challenged him to show me where. He hemmed and hawed and gave me a lot of pseudoscientific or just plain anti-scientific complaints. I challenged him to find me a complaint which bore actual scientific or technical merit. He was unable to do so, since all of his arguments basically rely on pseudoscientific use of technobabble. We stopped talking at that point.

I wrote it off and almost forgot about it, until I found out that this guy has been running around talking trash about me ever since.

That was fucking stupid. If there was an invasion organization thread over there you should have complained to their mods. Threatening other boards gives us the kind of reputation that we don't need.

Seems that the folks at Furry Conflict are at it too.

Pretty much saying that Wong and G2k are on the same level and are idiots because they can't let both SW and ST be equal. Dipshits.
