My Exit From Star Wars.com

On Sunday, April 30th, at 3:59 pm, I severed all ties with starwars.com. At 4:34 pm, the toady known as "Dark Moose" accepted my resignation. At 4:54pm, my personal stalker, Darkstar, was already posting about it on his blog. Unless Darkstar, has purchased a Re-Tardis, that should have been at 6:54pm, since he lives in the Central Time Zone in Mississippi. Maybe he moved to California so he won't be inconvenienced by hurricanes interfering with his magazine purchases?

Of course, with everything Darkstar, he puts his own spin on it, regardless of the facts. For instance, he says on his blog:

Darkstar

"However, no matter one's taste in resonance, all can now certainly enjoy that the talifan in question has lost his StarWars.com blog because of his talifan activities against a certain author."

Darkstar is kinda like a two year old that learns a new word, and feels he must repeat it over and over again to gain acceptance from the grown-ups.

While he drools and puts pennies in his mouth.

I mean, he uses the word "talifan" no less than four times in that one blog alone!

Again, as usual, Darkstar runs roughshod over the facts, stating I "lost" my starwars.com blog.

No...I threw it away.

I've had enough of sw.com, and the incestuous nature of the commune there. Here's the FACTS about my self-ban from starwars.com:

So as you can see, instead of begging Dark Moose to unlock my blog, which would have allowed me to continue to use it, I told him to go fuck himself, and showed myself the door.

And why does Al Gore think I "copied" him because I utilized one of the many features of my Hyperspace membership? I guess everyone on Myspace that started a blog after Darkstar are merely followers to a drumbeat only he hears.

Darkstar

Of course, someone like me who is not a spin doctor can't expect to really make a reply to BS that has the same emotional resonance as the spin doctor's BS.

DON'T FUCK WITH THE U.S.

(Note; this rant was written only hours before the London attacks of July 7, 2005.)

I'm so fucking sick and tired of reading whiny-bitch opinion pieces all over the internet on how "eeeevil" the United States is. "Oh, look! They invaded Afghanistan and Iraq after 911, a tragedy, true, but one which they deserved anyway for supporting Israel, not signing the Kyoto treaty, and being richer than any other country and flaunting it by making two huge monuments to capitalist oppression against all the other civilizations of the world! Those reactionary knee-jerk flag-waving jingoists! Why don't they sit down and discuss with the people that attacked them the true root of American eeeevil?" Hey, these are not wackos like Ward Churchill making these comments; but people usually considered "rational".

Fuck YOU, cocksuckers.

These stupid fucks that decide to attack America, then sit back and scream how evil we are remind me of an idiot that climbs over a security fence and smacks a pit bull on the nose with stick. Once the pit bull rips the intruder's fucking arm off, and is rolling in the grass with the stupid twit's testicles in his mouth, the world will scream that pit bulls must be banned, because they're so violent and eeevil. That's the exact same thing going on in the world today. Don't want the United States in your back yard? DON'T FUCK WITH THE U.S., MOTHERFUCKER.

Consider just how tolerant and restrained the response of the war mongering monster, the United States, has been to these atrocities both large and small over the years:


April 18, 1983: U.S. embassy destroyed in Beirut, Lebanon: suicide car-bomb attack. 63 dead, including 17 Americans.

Oct. 23, 1983: Suicide bombers exploded truck near U.S. military barracks at Beirut airport, killing 241 Marines.

June 14, 1985: A U.S. Navy diver executed after terrorists hijacked TWA flight 847.

October 7, 1985: Leon Klinghoffer shot and tossed overboard on the Achilles Lauro cruise ship by Palestinian terrorists.

Feb. 26, 1993: Bomb explodes in basement garage of World Trade Center, killing 6 and injuring at least 1,040 others.

Nov. 13, 1995: Car bomb explodes at U.S. military headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing five U.S. military servicemen.

June 25, 1996: Truck bomb exploded outside Khobar Towers military complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 American servicemen and injuring hundreds of others.

Oct. 12, 2000: Aden, Yemen: U.S. Navy destroyer USS Cole heavily damaged when a small boat loaded with explosives blew up alongside it.

Is it any wonder much of America turned a permanent blind eye to any mistreatment or oppression the Palestinians suffered at the hands of Isreal?

If 911 never happened, George Bush would have served one insignificant term as history's most mumble-mouthed fumpfering president. He would have been remembered with even less dignity that has been afforded to Jimmy Carter. There's no way in Hell Bush could have gained any support whatsoever to invade Iraq, WsMD or not. He would have been thrown out of office on his ass. But noooo... the great Evil West must succumb to Islamic rule of the world! So why are these pricks and the brown-nosing apologists "outraged" when Bush use 911 to invades Iraq?

All you had to do, you stupid, stupid motherfuckers, was wait 4 years until Bush 2 was out of office to start your shit. Because let's face it; that pit bull was going to get attacked regardless of who was in office at the time. Would we have invaded Iraq if Al Gore was in office instead, when 911 happened? Nope, no way in Hell. And that's why I'm glad Bush was in office when 911 happened.

I didn't vote for him; not in 2000 or 2004, but I'm still glad this reactionary little zealot was in office. Why? Because when 911 happened, I wanted the Middle East to fucking BURN. And I still do, to a large extent. Bush wants to make an example, a big example out of a mid-east country and he picked Iraq? Fine with me. WsMD? I don't give a fuck if they didn't have a firecracker between them. Want to see how much of a war mongering monster the US can REALLY be, cocksuckers, instead of whining what you imagine the US to be? FUCK WITH US. Want to freely continue to whine, bitch, moan, burn flags and presidents in effigy while claiming the U.S. is the great Satan, and not be put in the crosshairs? Don't piss off the pit bull, you fucking idiots.

Vulgarthons and Book Festivals

On Monday, March 28th, I met a fictional character in real life.

I attended Kevin Smith's "Vulgarthon 2005" film festival that day, at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. I got there at 5:00am, and didn't leave until 2:30am the next day. Five films were featured, including Brian Lynch's "Big Helium Dog", Jeff Anderson's "Now You Know", Smith's "Chasing Amy", Smith's extended cut of "Jersey Girl" and Jen Swalibach's (Mrs. Kevin Smith) "Oh What A Lovely Tea Party", a behind the scenes documentary of "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back"

For those of us who are frustrated filmmakers, or just want to become more than we are, Kevin Smith's fame seems like a work of fiction itself. It reads like something out of a comic book, or simplistic wish fulfillment fantasy. Check this out; Kevin Smith, frustrated convenience store clerk and comic book collector, dreams of evolving to a higher station in life, watches "Slacker", and gets inspiration for making his own movie. Smith transformed the very thing that makes his life miserable, his go-nowhere job, as a vehicle to fame and fortune.

In short order, Smith fulfilled all his fantasies; he made a shit-load of money, he bought a comic book store, made more movies starring all his New Jersey pals, made comic books starring himself and his friends, had action figures made of himself and his friends, generated legions of fans, married a hot newspaper reporter, bought Ben Affleck's old house in the hills of Los Angeles...all in the space of 10 years.

When I watch "Clerks", sometimes it's easy to forget that history behind it. It's almost comforting to allow oneself to believe that the whole Kevin Smith story is generally a legend that doesn't really happen in Real Life. It's easier to believe that rather than the truth; that you've never evolved beyond that dreary life that you hate so much, but someone else took a chance and actually did it.

But then when you get a chance to meet Kevin Smith in person, reality hits you in the face. He IS a real person, and his story is 100% true. And you want to kick yourself even more than you did before.

So as I walked up to the line, it began raining. A few people had camped out, so these faux-homeless people had to scramble for shelter. I said very little to anyone, which is no surprise, since I mostly lurk on the View Askew message board anyway. Many people from the board were in attendence, and some even flew in from overseas for the event.


Bigfoot sighting? Nah, just me in line at Vulgarthon 2005

About 30 to 45 minutes before the doors opened, I saw Jay Mewes drive by the front in an SUV, staring at the crowd, and not the road ahead of him! Brian Johnson walked up to the line and greeted several people as well. Johnson is a longtime Kevin Smith friend who worked at the Quick Stop, and was the basis for Randal.

Soon after, Jay and Silent Bob came outside to hand out wristbands to everyone in line as they entered. I got to meet the Man, Mr. Smith for the briefest of moments, as he slapped a Vulgarthon band on my wrist. He looked genuinely happy to be there. I was dismayed to find that the Cinerama Dome seats didn't feature the fold-up arm rests, because I'm fucking Ralphy May huge. I sat in the back in one of the handicapped chairs, which were uncomfortable as hell, especially since I spent over 15 hours in it!

Jay Mewes sat in front of me in the reserved section, and had a lot of funny stuff to say. He was with friends, so I didn't bother him, and was genuinely surprised that that no one else did, either.

First movie up was "Big Helium Dog". Originally on the VA message board, I said I hated it, and that was a HUGE waste of time. That may have been a bit harsh, because there were some really funny moments in it. However, I thought it was way too long, and the jokes that bombed should have been edited out. The damned thing MUST have been over 90 minutes long, if not longer. Or felt that way. (Jay Mewes played video poker on his laptop during the entire flick. I envied him.)

Next was "Now You Know", by Jeff "Randal" Anderson. Now this was a surprise. It was actually a very good movie! Jeff was essentially playing a Randal character in it, and he was hilarious. There was a sidekick in the movie called "Biscuit" who was very funny as well. The female lead reminded me very much of flat-chested version of Leah Remini from "King Of Queens".

"Chasing Amy" was next. Nice treat because I never caught it in the theatres. The Q&A for the CA 10th anniversary DVD was a lot of fun, except for the idiotic audience members that took the opportunity to try out their shitty, lame-as-fuck standup material instead of asking a relevant question. Then there were others that made sad attempts to be "outrageous" so they could have a chance to be included on the DVD. Ben Affleck was very funny throughout the session. The audience of professional autograph seekers ran out of the theatre in an attempt to catch Affleck and have him sign 10 copies of their crap they lugged to the event.

The titanic, ultra-extended-super-version of "Jersey Girl" was next. When Kevin told the audience that this version featured J-Lo for 40 minutes instead of 10 minutes as the original theatrical release did, there was audible groaning! I have to admit I wasn't a huge fan of the flick when it came out. But I really enjoyed this version of it. Kevin had reservations about when or if this version would ever see the light of day on DVD, however.

Last was "Oh What A Lovely Tea Party". It was enjoyable in a lot of areas, but this could have been trimmed by a good 30 minutes as well. It dragged on and on, and on... But it was worth seeing just for the fact that only in a Kevin Smith production would you see Mark Hamill with a giant cock and balls painted on his face KISS-style! (One of the original makeup designs for his character, "Cock Knocker"

Overall, I had a good time. I wanted to get a picture with Kevin, but unfortunately, I didn't. I don't collect autographs, so I didn't follows the actors around with a bag full of action figures to sign.

POST SCRIPT

On Saturday, April 23rd, I accompanied my fiancee Rosie (a huge book-aholic as I am) and her niece and grand-niece to the LA Times annual "Festival Of Books" event held every year on the UCLA campus. Jason Alexander was there to read from his children's book, "Dad, Are You the Tooth Fairy?" Rosie went over to the Mysterious Galaxy/Sci-Fi booth to see one of her favorite authors, Lyn Hamilton, and I grabbed a picture. We worked our way over to Ray Bradbury's booth, where I snapped another photo with her and Mr. Bradbury, who didn't look like he knew what planet he was on anymore. The celeb-fest continued as I played photog to Rosie while she stood next to Jeff Bridges, who was at the event because his mother, Dorothy Bridges was signing her book "You Caught Me Kissing."

After a quick lunch, we headed over to the last event on our schedule. Kevin Smith was there to promote his book, "Silent Bob Speaks. He was onstage making the crowd laugh with his XXX humor, blissfully unfazed that people brought their kids to the event! Topics ranged from his wife's refusal to give him ass-sex, to his ending of the "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy, where Frodo would be mouth-fucking Sam. Rosie and her nieces stood in the line for signing the book while I grabbed a few pictures of Kevin onstage. After his stage show, Keven went to his booth to sign books. Rosie became my photographer, and finally scored the picture I'd wanted; me standing next to Mr. Smith

Very cool. But that wasn't the topper of the evening...

We were kicking back toward the end of the building and were sitting in a corner getting ready to leave for the day. Rosie decided to call her friend Cynthia (another huge Kevin Smith fan) and began telling her all that she missed. Suddenly, Rosie's grand-niece says, "Oh my gosh. Look who's coming." Suddenly Kevin appears from around the corner. So as he reached us, Rosie thrusts her cell phone toward him and asked him if he would say hello to her friend who was a fan of his.

Kevin took the phone, mouthed the question "Who am I talking to?" and then started a conversation with Cynthia. He began berating her for missing the event! It was hilarious!

"Migraine? You should have seen the shit I went through today, and I still made it!"

Rosie's nieces were taking photos while he continued the conversation, and he was hamming it up for the camera. Afterward, the Real Life fictional character gave the phone back to Rosie, shook my hand, and left.

I Have A Stalker

It looks like I have a stalker.

This is very distressing, since the stalker in question is none other than Robert Scott Anderson, the obtuse troll-boy who in the past has stalked other men's women, whom he believed he had a relationship with. In that light, I don't know how I should feel about being the object of Robert's clandestine skulking about. If I receive a Hallmark card smelling of Rogaine and Cheetos though, I'll have to conclude Scooter plays both sides of the tracks.

Robert doesn't seem to be content with stalking me on StarDestroyer.net's message board, rubbing one out to every one of my posts, he's even gone to the extreme of snooping around my website, reading through notes for future ideas for said website, and offline web pages I'm currently working on.

Damn. Not even my fiancee does that. I'd better go buy a can of pepper spray and a rape whistle.

Anyway, I leave notes to myself in my website to update or change things later, and add suggestions made by friends whom I asked about certain issues. Then at work or on my fiancee's computer, if I have free time, I access these notes and update the website accordingly. I also email myself notes and incomplete webpages. One of these notes had the email headers on it, and the names of people who participated in that particular discussion.

Let's examine what kind of person we're dealing with here. You see, Scooter is a delusional simpleton who thinks madmen are out to kill him, and are busy framing him for things like small arms fire within women's apartments. Now, the poor man's Columbo believes he's pieced together evidence leading to a Freemason-like secret society that just out to "get" him. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

So Robert has been sniffing around my website's offline content, apparently adding to his Wayne Poe shrine in the hovel he resides in, and "discovered" that I am (are you ready for this?) part of an EMAIL LIST!! Better call Mulder and Scully; aliens will be landing any time now! So Darkstar, (a name by the way I find highly appropriate for Robert by the way; in the pornography world "the dark star" refers to the anus,) tries to piece his delusionary puzzle together by drooling over the other names who are on this email list. Then he comes to the conclusion that this list is the Official Darkstar Defamation Task Force, because some of the people on it have spoken about Star Wars subjects online.

So, am I part of a "secret" email list that was formed to discuss Darkstar? Nope. Am I on an email list with people of mutual interests to mine? Why, yes I am! I've been part of this same email list since early 1997. Uh oh...how could a Secret Official Darkstar Defamation Task Force Email List exist before anyone ever heard of Darkstar? This is a temporal conundrum not even Donnie Darko can explain...

So just what IS this "email list" Darkstar is developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome over by doing the knuckle shuffle on his piss pump? Again, its a list of people with mutual interests who discuss everything and anything under the sun. Do Star Wars topics come up? Of course. So does Star Trek, and Dr. Who, Battlestar Galactica, and even Babylon 5, on ocasion. Does Star Wars vs Star Trek come up? Again, yes, since Mike Wong and I have websites dedicated to that topic. Boy, I bet that was difficult to gather.

As we've established, Robert is a delusional little asstard who has visions of people conspiring against him, and madmen wanting to kill him. We're not dealing with a rational person here, people. Let's have some fun and run through Robert's latest persecution fantasies, shall we?

Darkstar

The "Curtis" mentioned above was Curtis Saxton of the Star Wars Technical Commentaries, a fellow who has frequently disavowed any activity in the Star Trek vs. Star Wars debates. To be sure, he used to be active and with all the vitriol we'd expect from a Vs. Debate poster, what with declaring SW tech superior, calling people "typical Trekkies", and making reference to "silliest Trekkist fallacies". But, since then, he'd kept out of it, at least publicly.

So let's see...Curtis Saxton comments on a discussion in the email list, and suddenly he's a closet "Star Wars vs. Star Trek" debater? Oh, and Curtis apparently is anti-Trek because he allegedly declares "SW tech superior" to Trek. Well, newsflash, asswipe. Because SW tech IS superior to Trek tech, this doesn't mean the person has any vested interest in the VS debates whatsoever. The list is an information exchange among peers who happen to be friends. Something I'm certain is an alien concept to Robert.

Darkstar

This is not to say he wasn't involved with the people . . . as many have noted, Mike Wong, Wayne Poe, and others showed up on the acknowledgements of Saxton's Episode II: Incredible Cross Sections, which featured highly-inflated firepower figures for Star Wars.

Ah, again with the unsupported blatant falsehoods against the AOTC:ICS. Authors have acknowledged their friends and family in their work for centuries, but Curtis Saxton isn't allowed this perk.

Darkstar

And, sure, I'd seen a few things that could've been quiet responses to my work, but I'm not so conceited as to think that I'm the focus of everyone's attention all the time. Silly me.

Now this is simply gut-busting humor! When the subject of Darkstar came up on the list, Curtis had no idea who this idiot was, and this was AFTER the publication of the AOTC:ICS. So for Robert to insinuate that Dr. Saxton may have engineered the book in subtle ways to respond to...DARKSTAR...is a fucking laugh riot. The self proclaimed "last bastion of Star Trek didn't begin his "Darkstar" persona (I have to chuckle now everytime I type his name, because I keep thinking of the asshole reference from the porn world!) until 2002...when AOTC:ICS was published! I'd better keep an eye out for Frank the bunny and errant airplane engines...

Darkstar

You see, it recently came to my attention that there is indeed a currently-active e-mail list being run through Mike Wong's StarDestroyer.Net server. The list membership appears to include Mike Wong, Curtis Saxton, Wayne Poe, Brian Young, Martyn Griffiths, Adam Gehrls, and maybe others (though I can't identify some addresses).

Yeah, things would "come to my attention" too, were I to act like a gossipy old woman and rifle through the things of people I'm obsessed with.

Darkstar

(Brian Young also makes use of the "staff of analysts" from BabTech-onthe.Net, including Sean Robertson.)

Again, Peter Jennings' retarded brother is Johnny-On-The-Spot with with the news flashes. I'd hope Brian made use of the BabTech-onthe.Net analysts; after all, its HIS FUCKING WEBSITE!!! Damn, this is more pathetic than an amputee with a hard on.

Darkstar

The group seems to be a loose confederacy doing research on Star Trek and Star Wars away from the curious eyes of the hoi polloi and 'lesser Warsies'. That sounds fine in and of itself, though of course I might be annoyed were I one of those lesser folks thus excluded.

Again, Inspector Clouseau comes to a conclusion after logically weighing all the evidence. And like Clouseau, he has no fucking clue as to what he's talking about. Out of everyone on the entire list, besides myself and Mike Wong, there's a grand total of three other people who have an interest in Star Wars in relation to Star Trek. So what do we discuss on this secret Illuminati list Darkstar (snicker) has "discovered"? Oh, let's see...in February and March, for example, one list member had problems with mold in their apartemnt, which the rest of the list offered dozens of cures for. One list member regaled us with tales of his scripts being butchered by Hollywood studios, a former Star Wars EU author laughed at a question I posed to him, one list member went into extensive detail about the calibration of his home entertainment center, and still another reported he was nursing a bruised elbow after taking a spill in the snow. I discussed updates to my website, and a couple people offered suggestions and answers.

Oohh...real cloak and daggar stuff. The funny thing is, this isn't the first time Darkstar has fucked up, and declared a "Warsie" conspiracy afoot. He did the exact same thing a few years ago!

Darkstar

The part I find amusing, though, is the goal of a lot of that research. Naturally, given the obsession of some of the members of that list it should be no surprise that I'd be mentioned, along with those horrible "Trekkies" in general . . . but the fact that they talk about "pushing to add more examples to make [me] look foolish" is amusing. I especially enjoy how much effort they expend explicitly trying to frame their collective position so that there's nothing for me to be able to argue against . . . not to mention what a poor job they do of it, historically. But, then, with some of it being filtered through Wayne, it's a wonder any of it comes out coherent at all.

Here we see Darkstar (hehehe!)attempt to paint the entire existence of the list as a secret cabal against him. And this is all from a smattering of notes on a .txt file the cowardly little twat found by desperately searching through my webpages! You see, since Darkstar's (ahhhhh-hahahahaha!!) entire website is a direct response to mine, any update I'd do on MY website would OF COURSE reflect on his! And since the one or two list members with whom I was discussing these updates with agreed that Idiot-Boy should be smacked around even more that I currently do on my webpages, THIS is his basis for declaring the entire list "just about him". Someone needs a reassuring hug. How much are whores in Hattiesburg?

Ah, but then Asshole-Star dismisses the notion that he was ever bitchslapped soundly out out ASVS and other message boards by not only me and Mike Wong, but many of the denziens from those places as well...

Darkstar

I'm not the sole focus, of course. They lament about things as any researchers would. For instance, who can avoid hearing the pain of disclosure when they say that "It is possible that we undercalculated this for the ICS"? Especially when the message is reminds them of their obvious efforts to try to make sure that "things make it a better comparison to Trek"!

"Especially when the message is reminds them of their obvious efforts to try to make sure that 'things make it a better comparison to Trek'" WTF?? Anyone own an idiot translator so we can make sense of this poorly structured sentence? Again, junior detective doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. The AOTC:ICS wasn't written in committee. Curtis Saxton was the sole author, and gave zero regard to Star Trek.. Oh, but don't tell this to the rabidTrekkies. They still need to hold on to their fantasies. And their cocks, since no one else will take pity on them for even a mercy tug.

Darkstar

But, then, few in Vs. Debate circles seriously doubted that the E2:ICS firepower figures were anything more than an anti-Trek wank, even if the Warsies cried foul at the mere suggestion that Saxton's ICS figures were based on anything other than Saxton's careful research of AoTC (despite the fact that he had little to no actual movie to base most of the figures on). And, of course, I'm sure they'll label this a personal attack on Saxton, too, just as they did whenever anyone else besides them dared breathe his name.

Yes, Asshole-star continues with his made up fantasies about Dr. Saxton's work, being the misfit little coward that he is. See, Curtis doesn't subscribe to Darkstar's personal canon view of Star Wars, and instead follows Lucasfilm's actual canon and continuity policy. So of course Asshole-star would want to dismiss this canon book as much as possible. And it's hilarious to see this idiot attempt to appeal to a minority of little Trekkie fanboys who hate the ICS series with a passion. Awww...plug up those holes girls...you're getting blood all over the linoleum...

Darkstar

That said, I guess this explains why Saxton never responded to those two e-mails I sent a couple of years ago. I'm a dirty "Trekkist" whose work had to be attacked in private e-mails, not to mention disagreed with in the pages of an otherwise pretty EU book that he and the boys did calcs for with a view toward inflating Star Wars past Star Trek levels. Woe is unreplied-to me.

Here we have the crux of Asshole-star's lamentations. Curtis didn't respond to his emails, so he makes like Incrediboy from "The Incredibles" and seeks to become his worst enemy. Boy, you can just smell the desperation. "Why won't you acknowledge me?? Waaaa!" And again he repeats the Trekkie belief that Saxton violated his confidentiality agreement with Lucasfilm and had a "Let's Write An ICS" book party.

Oh, but I'll let you in on a little secret. A couple years back, Curtis did indeed get an email from Asshole-star. He asked Mike and I who this little kid was. And Mike and I did our duty and told Curtis exactly who Scooter was. So Curtis never responded to Darkstar? Hmm...was it something we said? =snicker=

Darkstar

But, I digress. Why is all this amusing, over and above the fun I've already had above? Because, with rare exception, this site is mine. I've conferred with a handful of others on occasion (and those others know they have my eternal thanks), but over the years this site has existed I have invariably been the primary author and primary creator.

Yeah, and the rest of us have a sweatshop full of midgets building our websites for us. I thought that was public knowledge?

Darkstar

In other words, I realized that I'd been kicking the asses of Wayne and Mike and then the whole gaggle of SD.Net denizens for a long while, thanks to ASVS, the Wong Debate, and the Battle of Britain (not to mention their efforts to harass me out of the debate) . . . but I never realized that they'd been crying for help to a secret smoke-filled e-mail list of other guys for all this time.

Yeah, Napoleon Dynamite has been kicking all our asses, with his Flippin' Mad Skillz for years. Robert seems to have a very selective memory, doesn't he? He had his ass handed to him repeatedly on ASVS from everyone there, and left in shame TWICE. He had his theories and conclusions shoved BACK up his ass by nearly everyone on SD.net, until he had himself banned to he could claim he was kicked out. The same thing happened at spacebattles.com, until they banned his ass there, too. Yup, he's a regular undefeated warrior, isn't he? His ass has been kicked more times than Jenna Jameson's face has been cummed on, yet the Black Knight still claims victory...

Darkstar

Come on girls . . . I know you hate to avoid using that numerical advantage, but increasing it via secret dispatches to Curtis Saxton and Brian-and-the-gang is getting a little ridiculous, don't you think? Why not a little one-on-one?

Sorry, Asshole-star, but you've HAD your chance. Repeatedly. Mike Wong killed you when you went one-on-one with him. I destroyed every single one of your inane argument during your short stays on ASVS, when you'd run away for months at a time, and I continued to trash you on SD.net until you arranged to get yourself booted out. I continued to kick your ass, one on one, at spacebattles.com, until your jealousy for my "Trekmiss 1" video got you booted out of there permanently.

I'll continue to confer with my pals online about future webpage updates. You'll continue to live vicariously through me.Darkstar (snicker)

Now watch as Robert how he found out about this "super secret list" we've been hiding from the public at large!

Darkstar

I happened upon its existence quite accidentally, thanks to Wayne's sloppy webmastery . . . he had various cut-and-pastes from the group as .txt files in his directories.

Yeah, that sounds really accidental, doesn't it? I have to use that line if I ever decide on Burglary as a career choice. "Oh my! Whatever am I doing in the diamond exchange after hours?"

Darkstar

(When one has no index.whatever file in one's directory, the default in most cases is simply a listing of the files in a directory. As example, see Brian Young's directory: http://www.babtech-onthe.net/download/ . . . btw, Brian, thanks for the Clone Wars.)

Ah, so mine is not the only website Robert has been desperately poring through obsessively, stealing content. I can't wait to inform Brian of this once he returns from his vacation. Of course, this is nothing new; just an escalation of this dishonest pussy's activities. He's openly stolen images and content from my website and Mike's in the past.

Darkstar

As I observed these files for awhile, I saw where he deleted some, added details, and so on . . . of course after I e-mailed the list the "security hole" was plugged within a few days. I figured they'd eventually figure it out, but I couldn't resist saying hello.

"Security hole"? This incredibly inept fucktard seems to think that an email list me and bunch of friends belong to is directly connected to my website somehow. Then he goes on to suggest he used his mad hacker skills to infiltrate it!! This guy truly puts the "stupid" in "motherfucker".

Darkstar

But, for quite some time, I had access to his pages-in-progress and notes regarding them from the list which Curtis Saxton participated in, and these files remain on my hard drive. So, it will be a hard sell for you to portray the list in an innocent light, as you seem to desire, or to portray me in a paranoid light. I know what was afoot . . . Wayne provided that information to me.

Ok...Robert isn't paranoid...that's why he's been skulking through my website all this time, gathering offline content, stealing pages in progress, and sneaking around other people's websites doing the exact same thing. No, this isn't an obsessive, cowardly pussy...

Editor's update: Darkstar makes the following statement in regards to how he came across this email list:
On such an occasion I clicked my browser's "up" button instead of the "back" button, and quite accidentally found myself at his directory structure.
It was the "up button" that caught my attention. To the best of my knowledge, no browser comes equipped with one, at least not as a default. The Google toolbar, however, does allow for that option to be chosen. Click on the picture below and make note of the placement of the "UP" button in relation to the "BACK" one.

Now this can mean one of two thing:
1. Darkstar is incompetent in using simple browser software as Poe notes, "Again with the 'Whoops! How did I get here???' Gee, he must have just slipped his pinky onto the wrong key when he went and gathered content off of Brian Young's website as well."
or
2. Darkstar is lying and was intentionally rooting through Poe's directories to see what he could find.
Of course, how can I possibly deride the intentions of such an honorable man. After all, he did what all honorable men do when they find themselves where they shouldn't be. They hold to their ethics and cue the Mission Impossible theme as all honorable people should.
