Stewie commentary

He lacks Darkstars precision though. This is rather abnoxious. Darkstar might have been an idiot, but his grammar was usually impeccable. But, Eh? Why do we compare one idiot to another? There all dumb, lets leave it at that.

At least Stewart does not use the canon, falsehoosd etc in every sentence.

You do realise that Darkstar reads up on these threads that he can see and will now be having a panic attack that you mentioned his as being an idiot;

'The Wongites are after me! The Wongites are after me!'

I'm a Wongite! Wow! I thought you had to participate in SW vs. ST debates for that (I usually on add commentary).

Honestly, Stewie has gotten himself in over his head, and still doesn't realize it. He has probably convinced himself he is winning, and will end up incapable of seeing that the other side is not challenged by him. His rebuttles are either old, or completely irrelevant. It's somewhat sad, as he is just as dillusional as others before him, only his grammar is worse.

Dillusional? Well isn't this ironic?

I hope not. I he is, I don't want to associate him with my land.....

Does it really matter? There's more than one idiot in every country. What I could extract from that somewhat incoherent babbling is that he claimed to have studied at a UoNY campus in some US barracks in Germany.

I hope Mike will rip him a new asshole in round III.

What Steward has written there is realy stupid.

He claims to be America as far as I can tell. Course he also boosts about to be able to get handgun headshots at ranges where the bullet would land twenty feet from the aim point and other such nonsense so who knows.

He claims to have studied in Germany: "General Science" in Esslingen and some courses at the Max-Planck-Institute. Sounds quite impressive *g* but
a) there is no course "General Science" in Germany. (I should know, since I study here)

b) The Max Planck Institute, while offering Courses for Students, as well as " a large variety of research opportunities for diploma students and graduate students, in close cooperation with the Department for Physics and Astronomy of the University of Heidelberg" (quote from their website) is not University itself, but an commertial scientific Institute. As such it does not have Students.

To make it short, he had said total bullshit.

I have noticed that a very large percentage of people who boast of their credentials in these debates are lying through their teeth.

Jesus Christ, even Ryan Griffin (the guy on the Hate Mail page who claimed to be a PhD-level Quantum Physicist, but then went on to claim that power wasn’t a scientific unit) was more convincing than this idiot!

What about the University of Applied Science at Esslingen? From what I could gather at their website, they do not offer a program in general science. My german is not as good as it once was, so could someone double check this please.

He also says that his degree is actually from Regents College in Albany, NY; now known as Excelsior College. Again, no program in general science. However, twenty years ago? I was unable to find out. Excelsior College is not listed as a partner college to Esslingen.

Geran · Post by **Geran** » 2004-02-16 08:23am

Actually there is a faculty called "Basic Science" in Esslingen, but as you can read here it does not have "own" students, but is responsible for providing the basics for the other faculties.
You should also note, that until some few years ago there was no "bachelors" Degree in Germany. That was introduced in 2000 I think.

GySgt. Hartman · Post by **GySgt. Hartman** » 2004-02-16 09:01am

He never said he studied at a German university. He said he studied in Germany, at what might well have been an overseas campus of a US university on a military base.

Naturally. One who has REAL credentials does not need to boast with them.

That would be possible... though i think you have to be enlisted at an German University (preferably Uni-Heidelberg) to take courses at the MPI

Oh, this is getting good. Stewart is proposing that the aperture/exposure settings of the camera are changing so that the light falling on the asteroid is enough to saturate the image. Problem: a change in these settings would affect the appearance of everything in the shot. We don't see any apparent change in the illumination of the Star Destroyer or any of the other asteroids in the picture, so his claim is preposterous.

Quadlok · Post by **Quadlok** » 2004-02-16 03:15pm

What is Stewart hoping to accomplish, anyway? Does he want to disprove the firepower calcs for tubolasers? Or does he just like to nitpick? Seems like the second, as it's hard to imagine anyone dumb enough to believe that showing that the absolute lower limit of one of the smaller types of turbolaser is actually slightly lower then origionally thought somehow means that the Empire has all the firepower of an average carrot. But then again...

And are we absolutely sure this isn't just Darkstar playing dressup?

Tribun · Post by **Tribun** » 2004-02-16 03:55pm

Let's wait what Mike's reply will be.

Think that Steward will last all five rounds?

You can only take off so much time from your family for this nonsense...
