He claims that you "provided" the pictures (see "Asteroid Collision With an ISD"), but I doubt that you'd do such a thing. Luckily, he used a university account so I doubt you'll have much of a problem should he fight about taking them down.

That shit all belongs to Paramount anyway.

Will this guy ever give up? He's like one of those ants that keeps biting even after its head is ripped off! And this is just plagiarism, but worse. He doesn't even bring up any important points. He makes himself out to be as much of an idiot on his site as anywhere. I seriously cannot believe anyone would be willing to embarrass themselves that badly.

Mike may not own the property rights to the star wars universe, but I believe he took those screenshots himself. Therefore, Mike owns those shots. Even if Lucasfilm wanted to use those shots, they would have to ask for his permission first.

So if Darkstar did not ask permission first, Mike would have every right to ask him to take those down.

I'm not concerned about this idiot. Let him have his silly site. I will crush him on my Hate Mail pages at my convenience.

His house is being renovated, and thus the internet was taken out, so he can't do major computer work except from outside sources.

Please do. Feel free to use any of my points on you hate mail, if any of them provide even a small bit of assistance to you. BTW, a small word of warning: remember the infamous "DarkStar Defense." It is his only debating tactic that is even worth mentioning. Remember that he will not understand that you have slaughtered him, and so the best you can do is get everyone else to recognize how stupid he is.

Happy hunting! :D

I hope DarkStar does get the Imperial SmackDown (TM). It's been far to long since the Hate Mail site's been updated.

Not like he doesn't deserve it. In many ways I think he's worse than some of those morons on the Hate Mail, already. And the Hate Mail section people are complete morons!

No, Jonathan Boyd is a moron. I refer you to the evidence at http://www.stardestroyer.net/Creationis ... Boyd.shtml

He defends Biblical-era slavery, he claims that murder is not murder when God does it, and he generally acts like every other idiot fundamentalist out there.

The fact that he's polite has no bearing on the question of whether he's a moron; he expresses every hatemongering fundamentalist attitude out there; the fact that he does so in polite language is irrelevant. There is no substantive difference between saying something like "it is just and righteous for God to punish you unless you accept Christ" and saying "fuck off and die, Heathen".

Well, DorkStar also stole pics from Ex Astris Scientia (the two awards) without giving credit or even a link.

What a dick head.

He's just that way when it comes to religion. I'm also Christian, and a creationist to boot (although for me it's just a personal matter of faith which I don't debate; I have better things to do), yet I disagree with him on most of his speculation.

He's fairly level-headed when it comes to sci-fi, though.

Maybe, but that's like saying a white supremacist is only a moron when it comes to race, even though he's really good at math. Sorry, but he's a moron. The evidence is there for all to see.
