I'm going to email Virus that challenge, so that he definately can't miss it.

I just LOVE it when I get told to show more respect for people who are lying about serving because I aren't doing it myself, have I ever mentioned that.

Oh look, something to break to release the anger. Just what I needed.

Oh lookie, Virus answered to the challenge altough he didnt seem to have the gall to answer it in the thread made specifically for it.
Alright, let's cut the crap and end the insults.

First, I just say that it's amazing how Star Wars proponents can throw insults around with impugnity, and think that they can't be insulted, without it becoming a federal offence. You state your opinions, I state mine, and I'll continue to do so.
Second, yes, I am busy, but, when time permits, I will talk to your Wong. However, it should've occured to you that my e-mail address is publicly known amongst a lot of people involved in this debate, and he's long since had the power to directly question me, and didn't. However, naturally, you seem to think that I'm in the wrong for not going to him.
Third, as someone has stated, yes, I am somewhat busy. I'm working on my own site, working a new job, talking once again to Army recruiters (I've still a year left of eligibility), trying to buy a new truck, looking to go back to school, clubbing 3 nights out of the week (which, yes, is pretty stupid when you have to work in the morning, and are succeptable to emergency calls, 24/7/360) and trying to woo a replacement girlfriend. When I can fit him in, I'll fit him in. I intermittantly vanish from these debates for a reason: I'm busy. I've been abusing Internet time at work to post, a lot, but that's becoming tighter & tighter, as I've been given more and more responsibility. Again, though, when time permits, what the Hell? Sure, I'll debate with him, but he's more than welcome to e-mail me, anytime, though, ostensibly, he's refused to do so, and has, instead, resorted to calling me a "gutless coward". Naturally, Star Wars supporters seem to think that it's my job to go and track him down, when, as I've made it abundantly, perfectly clear, that I really couldn't care less about him, or anything he's got to say, and have never felt to desire or need to talk to someone with a reputation like his (that of being childish, and of being the type of person to put others down, and cry when others verbally retaliate against him). The last person that was stupid enough to do that found out that I was more than willing to find his house and kick his ass, but, ended up showing, in the end, that he was too mature for that kind of crap, and I've never had that problem with him, ever again. I'm not sure I can give Wong the same compliment, ever.
Fourth, whomever is calling me (aside from Wong) dishonest, honorless, cowardly, etc., can kiss my ass, or back their crap up face-to-face. I will more than eagerly meet that kind of challenge. I served my country, so I know very well what honesty, honor and bravery are, and probably a lot better than a lot of the people that claim that I am not acquainted with those characteristics and traits. Keep this crap up, and, as I've already said, put up or shut up (and thank you, Tulkas).

I E-mailed him, telling him to put up or shut up. I can see he's already trying to make excuses for why he won't do either.

I asked fo the full story in the mess, but its my understanding that when he pulled that shit at ASVS, claiming he had been a MP in the Army, it was revealed he was lying about being in the service.

You know, we never did have that debate I challenged you to, even though I did admit I didn't care :D

Does this Virus-X person have a website? Perhaps if we're all so fired-up to debunk the guy, maybe we can deconstruct the site?

Virus-X is acting like a gradeschool bully who never decided to grow up (ie. "It doesn't matter that I'm a fucking dumb-ass, since you don't want to find where I live and fly out here to confront me face-to-face," "you're the coward for not wanting to track me down and e-mail me, even though you have a website that is easily referenced with contact information and you're probably not even aware of my existence.") This is pathetic.

My money is on the probability that you will sputter a bunch of blustering excuses while you run like a bitch, like you are doing with respect to debating Mike Wong.

It's not that shocking - "expert physicist" Lord Edam and Ambivalent DMZ argued much the same thing in the thread at ASVS about Chris O'Farrell's similarly overinflated power generation calculations

"Expert physicist" Edam even said:

Goddamn Tulkas is amazing. I never imagined someone's brain could be as full of shit as his but apparently, the world is full of wonders. Also, i think that the asshole is the closest clone to Dorkstar i have yet to see. He has the amazing Wall of Ignorance and Black Knight syndrome and his amazing ability to take everything out of the context, mis-use Occam's Razor, make flawed analysis and make flawed maths are all quite close to Darkstar's.

Mike, I challenged Tulkas to debate you, also. He shouldn't be any problem.

I also threw my weight around in a couple of threads in an effort to bash Tulkas into submission. His lies, deceit, and misrepresentations of canonical materials are seemingly endless, but the facts are clear enough.

OMFG. Tulkas is now claiming that "Sith midichlorians" exist, and are distinct from regular midichlorians. It is his contention that Palpatine is collaborating with the Sith midichlorians the whole time. He's also seriously distorted and/or lied about canon material from both universes several times.
