That was neither clear nor obvious to me as an impartial observer.  Your post stating, "TPM IS eu," came across as a simple factual correction to the poster before you.  You did not preface the statement with a phrase, such as "from my point of view" or "it could be argued", that might have made it clear that you were rejecting the accepted definition of EU. 

I had exactly the same thought as TV's Frink when I saw your post.  If he had not posted a link to a definition, I would have been sorely tempted to do so. 

That would have been assuming I was too dumb to know the official definition of EU.  I try to avoid making such assumptions about people when there's another obvious explanation. Like if you didn't assume I was dumb you'd figure I knew the official version and was discarding it. The view that the pt is eu despite Lucasfilm's view is common enough.
