ROTJ Luke runs the Gauntlet

I don't mind if people sling insults or act smug; Lord knows I'm guilty of much more than my fair share. The difference, however, is that when I am proven wrong, I will not conveniently step into the shadows unlike certain parties are notorious for doing. If you have the temerity to throw fists, you should have the balls to handle and acknowledge the legitimate retaliation.

That is the one thing that limits my respect for you. As far as you being smug goes, that's the rationale that I have. Even against you. You correct my grammar, and yet when we debate, you tend to be on the losing side. Should I be a prick to you endlessly and not acknowledge those times when you are right?

No.

But you know what? You are right. I am a prick sometimes.

That's kind of what the internet is for. When I'm in an actual conversation I try to eliminate it completely. In a debate though, I see no reason not to correct my opponent on every issue in which their position or terminology strays from the truth.

And I believe you meant Subjekt "was" a greater authority than me, not "were." That wasn't the only time that I corrected you.

What do you mean? 🥷

(I did put 'my RW English teacher' in parenthesis incorrectly. True. But it was bait. I wouldn't have told you except that edit sniping you isn't nearly as fun as getting Faunus.)

Bait. Sure.

You're missing the whole point of this discussion, Red. I'm not faulting you for being a prick. I'm faulting you for being a prick and running off into the darkness after getting your ass kicked.

Stick around and man up. Take your licks, as the rednecks would say.

O...............K?

Do your worst. I guess.

Edit: Ass kicked? The best you've got is a misplaced set of parenthesis.

Er... you're not getting it, lol.

Well then.

What would be 'getting it'?

What is the correct response?

I'm not threatening to humiliate you here. I'm simply telling you that you need to stop correcting people and then running off when you lose a debate or someone corrects your grammar. You're notorious for it. It irks me and makes me question the respect I have for you. Either stop your "smug corrections" or, at the very least, when you are corrected say: "Damn, you got me. Sorry."

Simple.

Fair enough.

I believe you made a grammar mistake there. ermm

BAIT!

😄

"Damn, you got me. Sorry."

Also: 😠 WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I WAS USING A F*CKING CONVERSATIONAL TONE SO...

Oh. Right.

"Damn, you got me. Sorry."

Edit: ...Yes. It was bait. THAT'S what that was.

To fire a torpedo (while in an X-wing) one must only pull the 'fire' trigger. The aiming is accomplished (usually) by a 'targeting computer' that fires with much greater accuracy than an unaided human ever could. Luke, during the assault on the first Death Star, chose to turn off his computer and use the Force to aim his shot. It still took no more effort to shoot than pressing a button: the only difference was that Luke let the Force guide his actions. Luke did not apply Force (or force) to the torpedo after it had left his ship, he did not make course corrections or increase the torpedo's speed. The only thing he used the Force for during his flight was to make sure that his hands pressed the button at the right time and while in the correct place. No more, no less. [b]ALL Luke did was 'open himself to the Force.'[/B]
