Of course I have. Whose Line Is It Anyway? (abbreviated to Whose Line? or WLIIA) is a short-form improvisational comedy TV show. Originally a British radio programme, it moved to television in 1988 as a series made for the UK's Channel 4. Following the conclusion of the British run in 1998, ABC began airing a version with the same name for an American audience, which lasted 8 seasons.
The show consisted of a panel of four performers who create characters, scenes and songs on the spot, in the style of short-form improvisation games, many taken from theatresports. Topics for the games were based on either audience suggestions or predetermined prompts from the host. Both the British and the American shows ostensibly took the form of a game show with the host arbitrarily assigning points and likewise choosing a winner at the end of each episode. However, the show lacked the true stakes and competition of a game show (by design). The "game show" format was simply part of the comedy.
See? I totally know what it is and watch it alot.
Clive Anderson's great moments for your viewing pleasure:
Watch him torment Piers Morgan.
Watch him torment the Bee Gees.
Bask in his glory.

But I'd suppose I'd rather have Neph than a forty-year old socially inept House wannabe who routinely lies about "playing the Devil's advocate" in order to convince others (and possibly himself) that he is justified in his affection for Marka Ragnos, a character who's made approximately three small appearances in the whole of canon. Devil's advocate, opposing dogma? Interesting how your advocacy appears very selective.
Oh. Confirmation bias is such a bad thing. Have I struck a nerve?
Are you that intellectually limited, that you have been inable to grasp the concept of an "advocatus diaboli" still, despite of my countless lectures on this? Poor child. An "advocatus diaboli" doesn't argue against dogma, which would be rather odd, provided the title does originate from the Catholic Church, an organisation that is essentially based upon dogmatic views. An "advocatus diaboli" argues either for the sake of an argument or takes a side in debates, that doesn't mirror his personal view. I wonder, if you can find a single person here, who would deny that this is exactly what I did here since the day I joined.
But well. We can also work it out with your wrong definition of the term. It was once regarded as "dogmatic view" that the older generations of force users (not just the Ancient Sith) were superior to their sucessors. I've always contested that believe, if you would be so kind to remember. People may want to take a look at this thread here. Is that me siding with Yoda against Kun, which means I assumed Yoda, Kun and - as a result - Sidious were possible rather close in terms of skill and force mastery for that discussion? I've even acknowledge the possibility that Sidious might be the most powerful Sith Lord ever five years in the past. Ups. I didn't find one of the countless ocassions in which I even utilized that notion as part of my own arguments, which a certain person did complain about quite a lot. But I can't understand why you're attempting to blame me for picking on your opinions more often than on that of other people. There isn't a being who tries to sell his opinions and interpretations as fact even half as much as you do...
For that Ragnos myth, you may want to check the second link. You will find Lightsnake proclaiming that I told him Yoda might be able to defeat Ragnos, and me agreeing with that notion - with all implications following from there. There goes your pro-Ragnos myth. 🙂
So what was your point again? That my philosophical view of debates totally confuses you and is so far above your head, that you can't even see its bottom side? Or was it, that your confirmation bias doesn't let you perceive evidence contradicting your own preformed opinion. Either way: Good job! 🙂
So in a frantic attempt to deflect the accusation of your dark obsession, you reference two completely random compliments I extended to you? Wouldn't that strike you as a little bit obsessive?
Ah. I was merely pointing out, that you did admit your inferiority to myself in the all fields of expertise that matter in context of a forum in which SW issues are discussed. 😉
Now, apparently, it's time to lecture you on obsessive behavior. It's highly entertaining, that you presume I'm somehow obsessed with you, after I just returned for a four week long absense from this very place, in which you seemed to have been involved in some nice debates. Where was my obsession then? Pray tell, I have allowed your Sidious essay to remain relatively untouched for two years. Wouldn't a suspected obsession on my side have culminated in tearing down your supposed masterpiece? Didn't happen or did it?
On the other handside, we have you. The guy, who did send me six private messages, to beg me to admit, that he was correct with the "Dooku vs Sidious" topic, where I was wrong. The same person, that tried to challenge me again and again, just to be put back into his place and, as a result, put me on ignore, when he wasn't able to beat me - just to start the same old discussion via mail. And drop it, when seeing that he had no chance once more. Apparently, somebody is craving for somebody elses attention and acknowledgement here - but it isn't me. 🙂
Yet, there is only one person here, that did write a 12 page essay about the supposed superiority of his own favorite fictional character and that keeps coming back into this forum, no matter how often some mod bans him for socking. Talk about obsession... 😉
And now, do us all a favor, and consider the words of Lightsnake...

I enjoy your overinterpretation of some jape on an online forum. This is the internet. Testicles fill entire rooms here, and everybody has an e-peen of such an enormous size, that it technically belongs to the skyline of NYC.
