How come Moff Tarkin is higher on the food chain than Darth Vader?

Citation needed or are you trying to use the EU?

I do not disagree that he was probably the most senior leader in that mission. He turns out to be more competent and/or obedient that his predecessor, for sure.

So back to the original point since it seems both you and Sadako do not disagree with me on the original point....

sorry ddm. simple deductive reasoning is generally not considered EU

Then I'll take yours and Sadako's attempt to peddle "Battle Field Promotion" as canon as irrelevant.

But could you go back to my original point concerning this since we agree. Petty squabbling does no good for an adult discussion. I'm willing to let that old argument go: it doesn't matter since we agree.

take it how you wish. you'd be clearly in the wrong though.
battlefield promotion is common and universal military practice.

agree on what exactly? you realise you'll never win this thread, right? if it makes you feel better: nobody will. ever. you should let that sink in before you get reprimanded again.

Then you truly are behaving like the energizer bunny of fail.

"Win"? This is about "winning" something to you?

I thought you said it was about this:

this is called a "debate". its what people do when there is no objective fact answering and closing the topic. in this case, people present plausible explanations and compare/contrast.

As you already know, I wanted to revisit that old point again since we seem to agree on the extension of that point.

Since we agree, there's no need to discuss that further and your off-topic baiting regarding this will be ignored on this end. If you want to actually have a productive and fulfilling discussion, by all means, let's go back to my old point on this.

This post contains no on-topic substance and just amounts to chest-thumping. Do you want to discuss something on topic or do you want to see who can sling the most clever insults? If the latter, I'm out.

thats another thing. countering your point or pointing out a hole in your reasoning is not "baiting" its DEbating. ffs man.

Nope you're wrong again.

It was commentary on your willful ignorance regards to the battlefield promotion issue.

*sigh* i get it

the words "battlefield promotion" have to have been spoken in the script or its inadmissable. and dont give him any of that "universal military practice" or "simple deductive reasoning" nonesense. since darth vader did not say "as per my right to issue battlefield promotion, you are now promoted to admiral, piette", the point is moot and ddm wins.

also since vader did not say the words "you are in command now, but not in command of the whole empire, admiral piette", vader actually promoted piette over himself and even the emporer.

I invited both of you to discuss stuff, on topic. Obviously, neither of you are interested in doing so. You're just posting chest thumping replies and trying to make what you think are clever insults.

See you later. 🙂

Okay man, you attempted to insult me earlier calling a perfectly logical post as "drivel", and now you play victim. So whatever. Have fun.

Calling a post "drivel" is not the same thing as insulting others which is what you are doing.

Just because Ushgarak is considerably bias against me does not mean what I am saying is wrong.

All replied to your drivel posts will be here.

lol...you were genuinely insulted that I called your post 'drivel'.

i guess even the moderation team is not immune to your unsubstantiated accusations.

His own words, in public: I am on the last straw with him and I get no leeway. That's viewable by everyone. It is no secret that if I piss him off one more time, I will be perma-banned. Just ask him. Whether or not I view that as fair is irrelevant and how he treats other members' posts relative to my own posts is also irrelevant: there is a clear bias against me because of things that happened in the past and that is my own fault. I don't get second chances like supposed new members do.

But, I will reply to all other off-topic comments via PM.

Edit - I used your real name out of habit, Focus. I was trying to do work and reply at the same time. I'll ask the mods to edit my post. I know we have had our differences in the past but I wouldn't do that on purpose unless you were okay with it. I sincerely apologize for that.

It was an attempt at an insult, and also...especially as the post you refered to was not drivel in the slightest, merely one you chose to disagree with.

"All replied to your drivel posts will be here."? Wow rage grammar showcase..?

I suggest calming down. Ush seems to have been very reasonable.

Again, apologies. I reported that post and asked for that reference it to be removed. Even if that is not your name, I should not have used it. It was only out of habit because you and I talk in instant message all the time. It was wrong of me to do so even if it was unintentional. Let's move on, back on topic: I derailed the thread enough with you guys. I only responded to your post publicly instead if in PM because it comes off as douchy for me to use your real name. I tried to go back and edit the post but I was past the mark by less than a minute. 🙁
