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.
VINH (see, I'm using your correct name now, as you are using mine), I appreciate that you are acknowledging my presence once again (no sarcasm intended). I apologized for my childish name calling and I shall do so again here.
However, I continue to insist that you are too sensitive for your own good. My linking to the Wookieepedia article was not an attempt to call you "dumb." Believe me, I have read plenty of your posts on the EU to know that you are familiar with the official definition. I just didn't feel like typing out a long argument on the subject. And frankly, I knew it would annoy you a little, again, because you are too sensitive.
I really think you take yourself too seriously in these debates. I will continue to make fun of you (and similar posters like skyjedi) because I do not take these debates too seriously. I know my teasing will continue to "offend" you, but there's little I can do about that. But I will refrain from calling you names again.
The PT kicks the OT's ass!!!!!!!!!!! (kidding)

Taking things seriously is not a crime. Far more offensive is going around sniggering at other posters, insulting them or criticising them. It seems pretty weird to me that the former should be considered unacceptable and the latter ok.
I just didn't feel like typing out a long argument on the subject. And frankly, I knew it would annoy you a little, again, because you are too sensitive.
Please drop this myth that I get offended by people just disagreeing with me. Had you merely disagreed with me, such as saying you didn't believe the PT should be called EU and saying you believed we should stick to the official definition of the eu, I would have disagreed with you, but I would not have gotten offended.
I don't think it's your buisiness to criticise me, nor do I think you have license to poke fun at me. (And you have done a lot worse than merely "tease".)
