This is exactly what I was talking about in the other thread. It's not George Lucas' franchise, it's their "pet" franchise.

Like I said, there's hope yet for SBC.

I doubt it's going to hold, it seems like a rather desperate measure to counter-balance this thread.

How many threads get locked in that fashion in SB? I've seen countless of similar threads that have never run into such a problem for what I read the author of the thread suddenly wanted the ICS out of the picture. One thing is to debate the ICS and another to just wish it away because you do not like it! As a veteran SB member and poster I can tell you categorically that the difference between SB and SDN is like heaven is from hell I kid you not!

I'am amazed. Years ago I would not have expected to see such a resounding majority vote of "NO" against ICS. This is most heartening to see.

Looks like SDN and the cult of Wong might be on their last days if this keeps up, that's for sure!

ICS aside, it seems to me that SBC might be having a lack of control problem.

I don't know if I would go that far and say they're on "their last legs", but at least others outside SDN are starting to reject the AOTC and ROTS ICS books for what they are: creationist bibles to be thumped by the True Believers.

Be prepared for this to get ugly as time goes on and TCW keeps showing vastly weaker SW firepower.

The thing I find most funny is that, while Warsies will bend over backwards to reconcile the ICS figures with what we see in the movies, they'll automatically, and quite readily, dismiss TIDC examples of Trek firepower because of the effects seen...

I've always found the double standards funny from these guys... :)

Some Warsies, not all of us. I actually think the ICS numbers are completely silly. Please don't kill us all for the actions of some dumb asses.

Sorry, I should have said "Rabid Warsies".

I know a lot of Warsies don't like the ICS either... :)

How are the two remotely comparable? One is a sign on your lawn proclaiming your a racist POS and no one can do anything about and your forced to see it. SDN is a webboard, which means you can't see it unless you actively look for it.

And yes Mike is an asshole, a snob and a tonne of other things. However he setup the board because he found nanny-boards tiresome and its pretty obvious to me that he did it in a way that wouldn't allow people to get away with the BS they did on ASVS. In other words, your accountable for your actions, just like in RL.
You missed the point of the analogy and you're taking it farther than it should go. The point is, you don't have to read the sign either, nor does if physically harm you...the point is it is still perfectly valid to comment on how much of a douche that person is. I don't have to be harmed by it.

Err...when where you there? At any rate that is the purpose of the site, it says so right on the header! You know what your in for before you start posting.
A couple of years ago.

And? How do you quantify a stupid person? Someone who just repeats arguments and insults someone to cover up for their lack of evidence and hypocrisy is what I'd write down...and yet that's what they do there.

And again, it doesn't matter. I went and watched Phantom Menace didn't I? I can still say it sucked donkey balls right?

For what its worth, I don't VS debate anymore for this exact reason. I got tired of the peanut gallery.
Then the original point of the board is in the gutter, isn't it?


Dude, its the internet. Why people are getting worked up about some loser sitting in moms basement 4000kms away is beyond me.
Then why do you care that we're getting worked up about some loser in their mom's basement?
