Yes, because making a single typo is totally comparable to repeatedly not getting what a hypebole is despite it being a very simple concept.

Anyway, there's no hyperbole. As I said, the only comparison is that Kreia and Yoda dodged the strikes effortlessly. There's no exaggeration in that. I'm not using the term "B-team" as a reference to Sidious' performance against the B-team or anything. I'm just using it because it has the connotation of blitzing.
There is exaggeration, because Yoda dodged 3 jedi's strikes who are all superior to Brianna.
Tell me, if I say that I ran like Usain Bolt when I smelled my pizza burning in the oven, hyperbole or not?

Let go of this, lol. The fact that you have such emotional stakes in this is pathetic. I've clarified, it's over. There's no point in continuing this unless you truly feel insecure letting this go.
Yet here you are not letting it go. I guess you are just as emotionally invested as me. And now you will have to reply again with a cool demeanor pretending that only I'm worked up over this and you aren't, yet you do the same thing as me by replying again and again.
Now you are in a dilemma. Are you gona reply to try to win this pissing contest and prove you are just as pathetic as you claimed I am, or you will take your own advice because you'd like to pretend you don't care?
The problem is with These nu-debaters is they have so much of their ego invested in SW discussions, Sunrazer can't admit he's on the losing-end and will come up with rationalisations when people are plainly better than him. He's seen me stomp everyone and anyone in the socio-political debate-sphere, so it's no wonder why he's still too scared to face-off in front of everyone esle regarding something trivial.
This is truly tiring, lol. But I'm bored, so...

The only person who can't get it is you. You're the only one who can't comprehend what I've said even though I've been talking about this for weeks.

I don't want to be slinging insults all the time, but.... what?

I already told you that my comparison is in no way similar to this one. I said they both dodged effortlessly. I never compared the quality of the showings, as I've said three times. In other words, your analogy would be "I ran", not "I ran like Usain Bolt". Because what I said was "she dodged enemy strikes effortlessly", not "she dodged the Jedi trio's strikes effortlessly" or "she dodged the Jedi trio's strikes with the agility of Yoda" etc. I'm not comparing it to any singular figure in terms of the quality of the showing, as I've said countless times. I'm comparing the act itself, which is simply the dodging (effortlessly). So as I said, your analogy fails. Stop bringing up analogies where you're comparing figure X to figure Y. I've already said that I'm only comparing acts, or actions, and in no proportion to the figures themselves.
hyperbole or not?
I'm proving that my point isn't hyperbole, then you bring up some unrelated hyperbolic analogy, and then say that my point's the same, and say that I don't understand hyperbole. Guess that's why it's hyperbole.
Yet here you are not letting it go. I guess you are just as emotionally invested as me. And now you will have to reply again with a cool demeanor pretending that only I'm worked up over this and you aren't, yet you do the same thing as me by replying again and again.Now you are in a dilemma.

I know you'll call me a hypocrite on this, but I'm bored, and I'm technically obligated to defend myself when I'm called out, even if it's for the smallest of reasons. My stake is in my argument, not my emotions. Whether or not I choose to defend that stake is up to me. You, however, just don't want to let this go, since you're afraid of losing face. I'm not afraid of that, since this doesn't affect my stance or argument on this whatsoever. Now, it's up to you if you want to respond.
But of course, if you're going to give me shit, then perhaps I may as well as just leave this alone to prove that I really don't have emotional stakes here. In fact, I'll prove it with this - make any response, even if you type "zzz", and I'll type "I concede". I'm not afraid of this, because, as I said, I have no emotional investment. I'm curious to see if you'd be capable of letting go in the same way, though.
This is getting too serious, and indeed pathetic for something as irrelevant as this "debate", so I'm gona only reply to the point of contention without the shit slinging.

I'm aware you didn't compare the quality of the showing, that's why it's a HYPERBOLE. If you would've compared the quality, then it wouldn't be a HYPERBOLE. It would be retarded wanking.

No, you didn't do that. You said Traya B-Team'd Brianna. You could've said she effortlessly dodged her strikes, but you said she dodged it like how Yoda dodged. Just like how I could've said I ran fast, but I said I ran like Bolt. You compared what Traya did to what Yoda did, in a smaller scale, hence the hypebole.
Not sure why you are so worked up over this. There's nothing wrong with hyperboles. Me saying your hyperboles are as shitty as Stover's was meant as a friendly jab. When you denied it's a hyperbole then I thought you meant literally. Since that's the only two options there are.

I compared the act itself as well, which is simply the running (fast). So as I said, your comparison is a hyperbole.

That's exactly what hyperbole is, lmao.

Well, that worked, lol.
I'm aware you didn't compare the quality of the showing, that's why it's a HYPERBOLE. If you would've compared the quality, then it wouldn't be a HYPERBOLE. It would be retarded wanking.
There's no comparison in the first place, so it can't be hyperbole.
No, you didn't do that. You said Traya B-Team'd Brianna. You could've said she effortlessly dodged her strikes, but you said she dodged it like how Yoda dodged. Just like how I could've said I ran fast, but I said I ran like Bolt. You compared what Traya did to what Yoda did, in a smaller scale, hence the hypebole.
The reason I mentioned Yoda was because he was one of the few (or perhaps only?) people in the mythos who's noted to dodge attacks without even seeming to move. That was the basis of my comparison, nothing more.

I'm not worked up. This is clearly just a misunderstanding that's dragged on for a bit too long, lol.
But what does it matter whether it's hyperbole or not, lol? We're detracting from discussions relating to the feat itself.
I compared the act itself as well, which is simply the running (fast). So as I said, your comparison is a hyperbole.
Then you should've said "running fast", not "running like Bolt". There's no comparison to any person here in terms of quality.
That's exactly what hyperbole is, lmao.
'kay.

😬
Referring to different things, my friend.
In the first one - "there's no comparison [between the quality of Kreia and Yoda's performance] in the first place, so it can't be hyperbole."
In the second one - "That was the basis of my comparison [them both dodging effortlessly without appearing to move], nothing more."
I kind of explained it, lol.
"exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally."
Really? It's not exaggerated or anything, and it is meant to be taken literally. They both dodged their opponent's strikes so effortlessly that it appeared that they didn't even move. That's all. The fact that they dodged strikes from different-quality opponents isn't part of the comparison.

Wollf and I have a had a few debates before. The stomping on my part was always effortless. He would usually rage-quit. Sometimes he'd even go back to his lair to reflect upon spilled milk, and sometimes his friends would even reiterate the reality of the situation back to him.
