Who came closest

[Isamu]

they were sort of his people, he commanded them

[aNaRcHiSt44]

Technically they are his people vadereclipse; I know you are blunt, but it is not necessary to call him an idiot. He is right, if only marginally, because they are people that served under him, hence they are his people.

[Meyer]

Noghri were not Thrawn's people. they were his soldiers and slaves. there is a big difference in that.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

Actually it is true; it is a technicality, but the people who served under him are technically his people. Not like say, he is their god and they are his people, but they are nonetheless his people because they obeyed him.

[Meyer]

so if I obey say my teacher, that makes me and all other students her/his people? NO.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

It's different; Thrawn actually ruled them, and they willingly gave themselves to him in service. Your example was conviluted and not pertaining to what the meaning I ascertained was. A very poor example there Meyer.

[Meyer]

not really. I also have to obey my teacher. which from a point of view means that s/he rules me. but the who are your people isn't decided by who do you command. it's decided from where you come from. Thrawn was a Chiss. so other Chiss were his people.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

Yes but did you willingly go over into service? You do not serve your teacher, hence you are not his/her people along with your classmates. Being a group of people that willingly serve their 'master' is being that person's people. We are not bonded to teachers, hence we are not their 'people'.

[Meyer]

you just don't get it do you.

[aNaRcHiSt44]

I do get it. But it seems you dont get what I am saying. It is a technicality that the Noghri under Thrawn are his people; I never said it was actually true. Technicality. Does that imply anything to you? Technicality.

Okay I think we're done here
