Sort of. He's a good source of amusement and he helps remind us all of how stupid Trekkie fanatics can be

Not really. He refuses to admit defeat on even the smallest point, so every thread invariably degenerates into him ignoring rebuttals and everyone else getting fed up and resorting to flames.

No. He's a worthless fucking idiot.

DarkStar come on, Darth Wong never ran away from you, he just didn't care enough about you to think it was worth coming back. Also, he really wasn't trying to get involved in the little flame wars that up until now you have had no hesitation to get into.

Darth Wong challenged you. You then challenged him back, attempting to set conditions while you were doing so. Darth Wong is actually the challenged party.

Seeing as how you have never in the past so much as thought twice about getting into debates that would inevitably lead to flaming, I see no reason to think your refusal to debate Darth Wong is the result of anything less than cowardice on your part, and that it is merely an excuse to escape while saving face. Now, if you were the least bit confident in your skills debating, you would take Darth Wong. You would realize that if you were truly better at debates than Darth Wong, you would not actually need to resort to name calling and the like. Instead you could beat him in a debate, and then everyone would realize that his "childish" antics were in fact not justified, and that you had won the debate. Your inability to defeat Darth Wong is demonstrated by the fact that you refuse to debate him. Considering that you have never once been able to defeat me, I see it as being a correct decision on your part to refuse the debate, but I also think that you should not attempt to claim that Darth Wong is at fault for your refusal. That is dishonest.

Just do the debate and get on with it. The points you both debate and the way it's done should stand for itself.

BTW, the man wanted a yes or no answer; seemed pretty clear to the rest of us...

Ah, the irony. Darkstar hurls all manner of egregious insults and put-downs in my direction while whining that unless I accept his ridiculous one-sided conditions (in which he can claim victory the moment I return the favour!), I must be a "pussy".

In other words, you refuse to debate me without an exit strategy, ie- your pussy-ass conditions. And why do you need an exit strategy? Because you know perfectly well that you'll lose.

Fine. You're gone.

PS. Notice how he suddenly becomes incredibly rude and insulting, after pretending to be a paragon of Netiquette for the past two months. This is a calculated maneuver; as soon as I challenged him to a debate, he immediately knew the only way to minimize his losses would be to avoid the debate at all costs. First he tried to stipulate unreasonable conditions in which he could declare victory at any time, by simply baiting me with his usual politely worded put-downs and then running away when I insulted him in return. Then, I blew away the smokescreen and gave him an ultimatum, to face me or be banned, and he immediately tried to bait me into banning him with his incredibly foul personal insults, because that was the path he saw as producing the least damage. I knew he would never let me pin him down to a straight man to man debate, but the game is not over. There's still his website, which I will dismantle soon ...

This thread has served its purpose then, I would delete it but as it contains good solid evidance of why Darkstar should have been banned I think it best to simply leave it here locked but for all to see

Yeah.

Now maybe we can get some peace and quiet around here...
