[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]They look stupid of course, because these "high-school kids" don't stand a chance against Wong's eloquence and his wealth of rebuttal templates that he has at hand, but that doesn't mean that Wong is right. Actually, he is performing not that well as he certainly could in several discussions even with some school kids, and only his additionally inserted remarks allow him to win the battle. Wong obviously takes great pride in getting the kids to get into silly arguments and finally insult him, which he sees as a moral victory. I see it as cowardice, as he evades any situation in which he would have to defend his position (or he simply doesn't post this kind of e-mails).[/QUOTE]Maybe I'm masochistic, but I've been tempted to open an e-mail dialogue with Wong and honestly ask him his motivations behind such a close analysis of Trek vs. Wars. I'd express my opinion that each series should be enjoyed on its own merits, etc. And see what happens from there -- whether it degrades into a flame match or stays a decent discussion. Bernd, I hope you don't feel insulted by the following comparison... But did it occur to you that in some ways, you're as big an "authority" on Trek as Wong is (in some circles) for Wars? There's a great many sites out there that refer to EAS for starship lengths and other Treknology-related topics. And there are many fanboys out there who mindlessly parrot the same arguments without knowing the background -- on both sides. (Of course, your methods and attitudes are completely different. :) ) [/QB][/QUOTE]
