:roll:

Yes we have, and there is a reason for that: Just like there isn't a debate over whether or not the Earth is flat or a sphere ... the reason being the issue has been decisively proven already! What, you need it drawn in crayon for you?

Look, I'll make it very simple for you; you ignored Imperial manufacturing capacity, you ignored valid points on how simple the mapping issue would be for the Imperials, you ignored the massive speed disparity, you ignored the massive firepower disparity, you ignored valid rebuttles and you clinged to 'magic one hit wonder technobable' as a trump card (despite not satisfying the burden of proof of how this would be a threat to the Imperials) and in the end you just said; 'fine you guys win, but I'm right!' ... and you expected us to act rational and polite?!

Why? You did neither (hint, disregarding the board rules and modus operandi is rude).

Maybe you can, maybe you're a better person then me... like I said previously I got frustrated and said some stupid shit. Hence TRYING to back out somewhat gracefully.. it seems all you rabid dogs care about is devouring, so i'm outta here.

I have always been more receptive to reason than ranting. Swearing is one thing, but mindless insults attacking someone's credibilty becuase of simple error is just messed up. I began my post as a discussion NOT a confrontation, but all anyone wants to do it shoot down a point, offer nothing constructive in return and then laugh at the "stupid trekkie".

Take a look around your board, notice the lack of any "debate" regarding the issue you procalim to care so heavily about? I see is too much "me too" masturbation. Hence I thought I could contribute to some interesting discussion, I am as big a fan (probably bigger) of Star Wars then Star Trek. I see the merits of both and have discussed the vs. issue in the past.

Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh, it seems you've been flooded with so many idiots that a bit of defensiveness was probably a certainty, however apart from some poor debating techniques I hardly think It was necessary to flame a total noob before they'd reached 20 posts, especially when i'd displayed no antisocial behaviour beyond some shitty arguments.

I really dont have the desire to face such "anti Trekkie" prejudice and have to take months to "prove myself" because so few are willing to wait and judge on merit.

If you're going to continue goading trekkies, and believe me, anger and frustration make totally reasonable people say pretty stupid things, you're going to have a great lack of 'debate' and only have troll after troll on here to call you nerds and give shit.

So farewell, seemingly not the place for me. Good luck with the board though, dispite my rant I can see you're mostly smart, intersting people. But the personality clash is obvious so it's better I leave now.
Since you've left one final note before locking.

Read the site. You didn't. You also conviently ignored any tries at rebuttal and any sort of objective proof, thus got vultured and flamed. This is no different then entering an evolution orientated board and claiming Intelligent Design can work, and provide nothing except your own personal beliefs.
