Quotes about DarkStar


• I suggest using this every time the issue of canon/official sources is brought up. "The Encyclopedia quote? Yes, I find it strange, too, but my opinion does not render it incorrect." --Chuck
• "You mean quotes from his sorry ass? I'm not going to sift through his bullshit." --Pablo Sanchez
• "Here's a hint, Darkstar: when people see somebody running away from a fight and screaming that the OTHER guy is the coward, nobody's going to believe him." --Mike Wong
• "He's a fucking idiot" --Chris O'Farrell

Choice Thread Excerpts (Grade A)


• DarkStar proves his stupidity:
  
  "Yes, 1E38J or effective firepower equals 1E38J of real firepower. Simple
  first-year physics."
  --Durandal
  "But only against Alderaan-type targets."
  --DarkStar
  
  
• More of the same, but with tasteful use of ALLCAPS:
  
  "I see that you still need this spelled out for you.
  I AM ASSUMING DIRECT ENERGY TRANSFER BECAUSE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY IS ALWAYS
  ASSUMED BECAUSE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY IS THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL LAW IN ALL OF
  SCIENCE."
  --Durandal
  "IDIOT! MY THEORY DOES NOT INVOLVE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY VIOLATION! THE FACT
  THAT YOU WANT TO THINK SO IS NOT RELEVANT!"
  --DarkStar
  
  
• Concerning G2K's band hypothesis
  
  "The bands do not exist anywhere but your imagination."
  --Wong
  "Now that's just another damned lie. Do you need me to paint a big red line
  over them so you can see them, or are you actually going to watch the canon
  movie and accept the fact that the band is there?"
  --DarkStar
  
  
• Occam's Razor... again...
  
  "To translate that into projectile weapons, you'd be comparing bullets and
  missiles. The green beam weapons of AoTC may or may not be based on superlaser
  technology, speculation and interpretation notwithstanding."
  --DarkStar
  "What happened to your precious "Occam's Razor," you fucking hypocrite?"
  --Doomriser
  
  
• And a beautiful example of the fallacy of non sequitur:
  
  "Alderaan=shield generator, and planet's core may explode (not sure about
  core).
  Death Star=reactor explodes.
  Liberty=doesn't look like reactor is hit.
  Other mon cal=reactor.
  Droid=no reactor."
  --CaptainSheridan (Grand Admiral Thrawn)
  "Proof that the weapons used on the gunships operate by the same principles as
  the Death Star superlaser, besides a green beam?"
  --DarkStar
  
  
• Scientific ignorance and inability to even read is displayed:
  
  "Your theory: The superlaser disobeys conservation of energy by using an
  unknown mechanism to perform a magical trick to generate 1E38J of kinetic
  energy from nowhere in particular, thus explaining the appearance of the ring
  things."
  --Durandal
  "Question: How precisely does my theory violate Conservation of Energy? I'm
  just curious to see how you approach this idea, since as far as I know I don't
  disregard CoE."
  --DarkStar
  "Every other sensible person's theory: The superlaser, like everything else in
  the universe, obeys conservation of energy, and generates 1E38J of energy
  through an unknown mechanism that apparently produces the ring effect."
  --Durandal
  "That's my theory, dumbass."
  --DarkStar
