This Month's Darkstar Chortle

Lord Poe · Post by **Lord Poe** » 2008-03-11 06:36pm

Someone PM'ed me about Darkstar's latest blog. It's about him rewriting history WRT his banning from Spacebattles.

When was that - 2003? For someone that claims to have a happening life that we are unaware of, I find it amazing that he is STILL harping on this. And of course, like Traviss and "journo", he has to yet again reference his mythical "death threats". Funny, since Robert is the one that began issuing the death threats.

He's starting to sound like Al Bundy, reminiscing over his imagined glory days of the past. Message to Darkstar: get over it.

Watch now, he'll read this and then use the phrase "get over it" fifty times in the next three days, while writing entire essays about how I'm actually the one who needs to "get over it"

PS. He's still as incredibly long-winded as ever, I see. You'd think he was recounting the discovery of the Watergate tapes.

At least Al Bundy had honest glory days...Scooter, from everything I've read and seen, never did.

This is literally a loser reminising about being a noted loser rather then a fly on the wall that he is now.

He's even WORSE than Al Bundy (apart from that being intentional comedy), because at least Al actually HAD a few glory days of the past when he was a Football player. So Al Bundy actually DOES have something to look back on fondly, however ineffectual and useless in the long run it may be. Dorkstar doesn't even have THAT.

Wait, he's still at it? In all my years of lurking I thought he finally vanished.
Does the man have no life whatsoever? (no need to answer that)

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2008-03-11 08:21pm

You DO know that 'no need to answer that' questions by unwritten mandate require at least half a dozen answers

He's still around and at it. He just stays in his little hole as it seems he's pissed off everyone but the SFJ crew and ST.com, which is barely moderated. He's like the crazy coot down the street that yells at kids for walking on his lawn.

Hehe. Love the way he claims Alyeska's acceptance of the dreaded ICS wa an "obvious social play". Yes that's it Alyeska yielded to peer pressure, Darkstar alone valiantly continues the fight. Never give up, never surrender!

Darth Servo · Post by **Darth Servo** » 2008-03-11 08:43pm

And its even worse that he feels the need to respond to the blog comments with even more long-winded essays that essentially are "No, THEY'RE all being dicks. I'm just responding in kind."

Regardless of the fact that the ICS figures are perfectly in line (way in excess of, actually) with what the ANH numbers allow for..

Remember that this is a guy who thinks that the Abu-Ghraib atrocities were committed by "lefty plants" who were trying to make America look bad. We're not joking when we say that he's nuts.

The funny thing is, you're so right. I'm actually surprised he hasn't used "cargo cult" 174 times by now.

I love the way he continually repeats the phrase "children's books" when he refers to the ICS! Oh, Darkstar! You wound so deep and so effectively! LOL!!

Hey Robert, I have a challenge for you. Show us, with proof, how many times I've issued a death threat against trekkies. Then I'll compare that to your tally against "warsies". Let's take that ball away from your play pen once and for all.

Speaking of nuts, does anyone have his blog entry about the Katrina/Starlog fiasco saved? I can't seem to find it on there.

Darth Servo · Post by **Darth Servo** » 2008-03-11 09:21pm

Darkstar, you're not fooling anyone. You're only demonstrating what a fool you are. You're only hurting the cause you claim to "fight" for.

Thats his spindoctoring of Wayne pointing out what a douche bag Scooter is. The Rabid Stupid Asshole's original lamenting of the magazine being delayed because of the storm is here:

I know Poe's a governor, which is why i'm phrasing this the way I am:

Darth Wong wrote:# No more threads poking fun at Darkstar's latest bizarre delusional rantings. It's amusing to make fun of him for seriously arguing that when Leia says "the fleet will be here any moment" she actually means "tomorrow", but it's been done so many times here that it's gotten stale and old. If you must beat this dead horse, do it in the Hall of Shame.

Why is it okay to post this here and not in the hall of shame?

Because there's very little action in this forum nowadays, so nobody cares if it clutters up the forum any more. And don't you think I would have said something if I had a problem with this thread being here?

Wasn't Evil Imperial banned for making death threats against DarkStar?

Indeed I did think you would. But you didn't - and you had commented in the forum. So clearly you didn't have a problem with it. I didn't see why; and so I asked. Now I understand, the rules can be relaxed provided their spirit has not been violated, though as a newbie I'd probably do best to just toe the line and not try to figure where those boundaries are.

I don't recall if it was him, but I know someone at least got in a lot of trouble for making a death threat against Darkstar.

Which really makes his accusations all the more offensive. When he actually was threatened most of the board stood up and bitch slapped the guy who threatened him, including Darth Wong.

You're more or less correct. Further, as a noob, you should know that this is Mike's house, Mike's rules - the laws of this forum don't exist seperately, like there's some ethereal, greater "rule of law" to which even the owner of the board is beholden to.

As someone who was semi-present (and occasionally involved) in the Pre-ICS Sw vs ST debates, and knowing a number of the people involved at the time, I have to say that one thing has always leapt out at me.

The debate is clearly a dead issue, and has been for years now. The vast majority of the people who had been involved in it have basically moved on since the issue was ultimately settled. On both sides. Mike's moved on from SW vs ST discussions to more interesting (and to him, important) things, like dealing with creationism and whatnot. Wayne's moved more into his movie-making thing, and at most deals with the SW side of things (mainly the fandom.) Old time ASVSers I knew and who used to be involved seem to have gotten more interested in other things (like real life.)

And the Trekkies moved on too. People like Alyeska or Chris O'Farrell (They're the prominent trekkies from that time most familiar to me, at least.. I'm sure I'm missing others) moved onto other interests (like Stargate).

Darkstar..... is still going on and on and on about the same old things, off in some far distant and dark corner of the internet, largely forgotten. Occasionally he gets dredged up for five minutes of amusement (which probably makes him feel important) but then he's forgotten again. His only real source of support is a place like starfleet jedi, which is nto really saying much. Basically, he's still living in the past and behaving and doing the same shit he was doing years ago, ,when everyone else (including his own side) left him behind.

Which only emphasizes the "lunacy" bit, really. Back when the debates were still going on, Darkstar (and those like him) could hide in a larger crowd and mask their insanity amidst the rest of the Trek-side. But without the shield of that anonymity, his true self shows up much more readily.

I think at this point he's stopped being amusing to me and seems more pitiable than anyything else. Its perhaps people like him that lead me to be less and less involved in boards in general. I can always find more interesting or useful wastes to my time if I need to.

the other side was subverting their minds to the ICS children's books

This makes me think of Dr Saxton as Sauron, corrupting the poor Trekkies with his Rings of Pow- Books of Calcs.
