Why is Darth Wong so hated on this site

[DarthYAM]

I call him lord wong because I think it's kind of amusing. Hell I call myself Darth. A part of the reason I was confused is that I have seen people disagree with him (lord of the rings, radar tech) and the people either aren't banned or Wong is able to admit he's wrong or withdraws. Another thing that sort of confused me was that many of the accusations him being a tyrant were made when he wasn't even on the board (he took a fairly long hiatus), while another accusation is that he alienated everyone (Dalton is another prominent friend from the ASVS days who is still a mod to this day); Wayne poe's departure was just an ugly mess.

Darth Wong (again I like calling him that) is hardly perfect or an expert on everything, but a few of the accusations threw at him did seem a little......over the top. For the most part he's fairly cool when discussing movies, science fiction, or engineering, and he hasn't really been on the board that much lately.

just open up a forty ounce and sit down

I'd have banned ADR for being a shitposter who can't put together a coherent thought together in a concise manner. Just witness his posting here.

Edit: I just did that here. Whoops.

I'd have banned you for being a net drain on the amount of joy that can be found in the universe.

[Nietzslime]

i would ban everyone and reign over my kingdom of solitude

except maybe red and metatwaddle but they don't post anyway so kingdom of solitude it is

[evilsoup]

list of people who should be banned:
- people who write incoherently and can't make a point
- joykills
- people who write lists about who should be banned

[Bakustra]

I'd have banned you for being a net drain on the amount of joy that can be found in the universe.

i'd ban both of you- no, actually i wouldn't

oppression only works when people are around to appreciate your inane cruelties

I'd have no problem with that. But my life is a bottomless pit of despair and nothing can pull me out of it.

[Agent Bert Macklin]

Even watching my city fall at the hands of a terrorist couldn't bring me out. I wouldn't be able to climb that wall.

i can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid

tell me, knubfuck, when did you last let your heart decide?

i can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder, over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride!

a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view

no one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming

Why does somebody have to be so insecure about his "pet" sci-fi franchise in comparison to others that he'll go to ridiculous ends to prove its superiority in a implausible fight against other franchises?

I think it's mainly a certain type of immaturity which was never really grown out of.

I was involved in some aspects of the versus debate once on the old STrek-v-SWars website, and I was fairly rabid about it at times. I don't remember much about why I was so far involved beyond the fact that I was a stupid kid who liked science fiction and liked to have a reassurance that my favourite example (Star Wars, in this case) was the 'best' in some manner. Maybe. Naturally, looking back on it, I think I was basically just being a moron who was jumping on a stupid bandwagon, but I think most people's first use of a time machine would be to go back about eight years and slap their stupid teenage selves upside the head.

The thing is that Darth Wong actually flat out stated on the website "yes I know it's an immature hobby. That's why I enjoy doing it. It let's me relax and unwind after a long day of work." Then he went on to say that it's a nice diversion from work when your off duty. The primary reason that he chose Wars and Trek was because those were his two favorite series as a child (though the only star trek series he loves absolutely is the original series; Tng is kind of conflicting, and he flat out loathes DS9 Voyager and Enterprise.) It's on the faq in the main site

So he identified a personal issue and then never grown.


Yan I am not sure that Wong, who by all accounts appears to be a reasonably happy successful guy needs you to pathetically white knight for him

[Zablorg]

but it doesn't sound like he's having fun

[DarthYAM]

It was largely curiosity. I was curious as to why he is disliked. I guess I came on to strong with my personal opinions. The wars trek debate kind of died around 04 05 and he has had a lot of hiatus's.

[Zablorg]

you're a weird kid

[DarthYAM]

I know.

[Losonti Tokash]

why do you feel the need to defend your nerd idols to strangers on other websites though

[DarthYAM]

part was sincere curiosity, and i have some degree of insecurity. It's kind of embarassing really

[zhaktronz]

Dude just stop talking

[Flagg]

Kill yourself.

Bloodline needs to end.

Yan for real nobody cares, and if they do they probably got banned so their opinion doesn't matter anyway.

Anyway we discourage talking about SDN and people that don't post here because it's kinda tasteless, and I'm going to extend that to people defending people from over there because that invites the kind of negative, criticizing posts we want to avoid. Positive environment and all that jazz.

PS if you were banned from SDN shut the fuck up, you bitter sumbitches
