196. I know you meant no harm, but a tribute thread that hangs the tributee out to dry

Wed Nov 25, 2015, 07:41 PM

Nov 2015

is not exactly a gift. If you're not going to be around to swat flies, just close the door. Copy the OP into a reply at the bottom, say "Thank you very much," and self-delete the OP. Presto, your tribute is preserved forever and Octa can enjoy his turkey with the rest of us.

'Read my lips, no new taxes' is a direct quote by HW Bush. That doesn't mean anything. PatrickforO Nov 2015 #39

So RFK is a liar like Bush? Dr Hobbitstein Nov 2015 #41

I tend to think RFK said that because he was being politic as a matter of survival, PatrickforO Nov 2015 #42

I've never even visited that site. MineralMan Nov 2015 #20

Because you used to post on Free Republic. Octafish Nov 2015 #21

I'm not currently a Forum Host. MineralMan Nov 2015 #23

My advice to you is what I give them: Show where I'm wrong. Octafish Nov 2015 #24

I don't do conspiracy theories, woo, or MineralMan Nov 2015 #25

''Theory.'' Octafish Nov 2015 #29

And again another one refuses to debate you seriously. Rex Nov 2015 #96

For years you've harrassed me on DU, yet you never show where I'm wrong. Octafish Nov 2015 #57

No, for years I, and many others, have shown that you have a propensity... SidDithers Nov 2015 #65

Nice smear. Octafish Nov 2015 #69

Re-read my post... SidDithers Nov 2015 #71

No need for condescension. Show where I'm any of what you accused me of being. Octafish Nov 2015 #78

Did you use those sources? treestar Nov 2015 #124

Like statistics, you can find a source to say most anything you want. Octafish Nov 2015 #135

Hey Sid, what you have had to say is unacceptable.. This may get us banned. Honed 7wo7rees Nov 2015 #143

The cultish worship of any DUer always strikes me as bizarre. That is all. nt. Orrex Nov 2015 #54

Please know there is no cult, fan club, or contributions plate. Octafish Nov 2015 #56

Well, that's really for you to say--it's up to your worshippers Orrex Nov 2015 #58

That's the point: The truth. Octafish Nov 2015 #59

If you think so, then I'd like to introduce you to the "Alert" feature. Orrex Nov 2015 #60

I never said I was the 'arbiter of truth.' Octafish Nov 2015 #62

It's not up to me to disprove your claims. Orrex Nov 2015 #64

Bullshit. Calling someone a "conspiracy theorist" is same as calling them a liar. Octafish Nov 2015 #66

Of course, that's entirely incorrect. Orrex Nov 2015 #72

Now you accuse me of mental illness. Nice. Octafish Nov 2015 #79

See? Now *that's* a lie. I made no such accusation. Orrex Nov 2015 #85

No. That's what you said. Otherwise, you'd show where I'm wrong. Octafish Nov 2015 #86

Show me where I accused you of mental illness Orrex Nov 2015 #88

''Of course, I still wouldn't presume to suggest that you suffer from delusions of persecution'' Octafish Nov 2015 #89

Show me where that's an accusation. Orrex Nov 2015 #91

Those are your words. Not mine. Octafish Nov 2015 #94

They are indeed my words, and they certainly aren't an accusation Orrex Nov 2015 #98

I'm not eager for anything. I don't like you stating I'm wrong, but not willing to show how. Octafish Nov 2015 #100

If you don't like to be wrong, then show that you're right. Orrex Nov 2015 #103

I do. That's why I use sources and links. Octafish Nov 2015 #108

You really don't know how this works, do you? Orrex Nov 2015 #112

Lots there, but nothing worth knowing. Octafish Nov 2015 #118

Right. So saith one of DU's leading purveyors of nonsense Orrex Nov 2015 #127

Nice smear. Octafish Nov 2015 #136

Show me where I'm wrong Orrex Nov 2015 #137

''...all these persons direct their solutions against the man, not against his argument.'' Octafish Nov 2015 #138

If you're making a confession, then I applaud your honesty. Orrex Nov 2015 #139

Where did you post something worth thinking about? Octafish Nov 2015 #146

Yeah, yeah. Orrex Nov 2015 #154

Show where I ''promote anti-Semitic, or homophobic, or racist writers at DU.'' Octafish Nov 2015 #168

See how it works? Orrex Nov 2015 #178

You posted an accusation and you really need to support it or retract it. nt ucrdem Nov 2015 #179

Tell it to Octafish Orrex Nov 2015 #181

You and the Tag Team make me want to become a Republican. Octafish Nov 2015 #188

No one can make you do anything you don't want to do. Orrex Nov 2015 #189

''A demonstration of your dishonesty.'' Octafish Nov 2015 #191

All told, I give you about 15 minutes, maybe Orrex Nov 2015 #193

Please link to these "racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic" posts, thanks. nt ucrdem Nov 2015 #195

Why should I? I made no claim about racist posts. Orrex Nov 2015 #197

Oh admit it...you're jealous elias49 Nov 2015 #77

So that's the choice, is it? Orrex Nov 2015 #80

Nah. You want to be the rebel who refuses to believe anything elias49 Nov 2015 #83

You give Octafish too much credit Orrex Nov 2015 #87

Obsessive? Octafish Nov 2015 #90

For one thing, you've repeatedly accused me of mental illness. Orrex Nov 2015 #92

No. And you still can't show where I'm wrong. Octafish Nov 2015 #93

Not angry at all--that's another lie. Orrex Nov 2015 #97

So I'm a liar now? Octafish Nov 2015 #101

Let me count the ways Orrex Nov 2015 #105

No. That's what you said. Octafish Nov 2015 #107

So you lie and you deny that you lie. How do you have any acolytes at all? Orrex Nov 2015 #115

Yeah, compelled. Like you're "compelled" to post. Octafish Nov 2015 #117

You still haven't shown that you're right. Orrex Nov 2015 #128

I never claimed to be right. I said what I posted was true, as I understood it. Octafish Nov 2015 #172

Thus you declare racists, homophobes and anti-Semites to write truth Orrex Nov 2015 #194

I'm sorry that you got sucked into the quicksand... SidDithers Nov 2015 #95

I'm nearly convinced that the whole thing is simply performance art Orrex Nov 2015 #99

I'm all the way convinced. Iggo Nov 2015 #159

For years you've harrassed me, SidDithers of DU, yet you never show where I'm wrong. Octafish Nov 2015 #102

The President of the United States is actually a reptilian alien in disguise. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2015 #109

I can't. So what? Octafish Nov 2015 #110

Sounds like something a disinformationist would say. Act_of_Reparation Nov 2015 #111

No kidding. Octafish Nov 2015 #119

Conspiracy Theories can't be proven wrong treestar Nov 2015 #125

First off, you are wrong about what we know about Oswald. Octafish Nov 2015 #131

He may have had CIA ties treestar Nov 2015 #199

Not so. CIA obstructed justice, failing to reveal their ties to Oswald, when asked by Earl Warren. Octafish Nov 2015 #200

Welp that didn't take long ... ucrdem Nov 2015 #75

The Warrant Report (sic) Octafish Nov 2015 #106

Interesting. ucrdem Nov 2015 #129

wow Robbins Nov 2015 #114

Could it be Victoria Nuland? Octafish Nov 2015 #121

I love how his detractors mock him but won't dare debate him seriously. Rex Nov 2015 #120

I love how his fawning acolytes elevate him to the status of teacher Orrex Nov 2015 #130

Yeah its just like that. Rex Nov 2015 #140

It's adorable that you think it must be jealousy! Orrex Nov 2015 #141

Octafish posts garbage! Are you OK, or just insane? 7wo7rees Nov 2015 #142

I'll tell you what else is adorable: Orrex Nov 2015 #145

Nice smear. Show where I support any of that. Octafish Nov 2015 #149

The demonstrated liar accuses me of lying? Meh. Orrex Nov 2015 #150

Here's an example of what I have posted that bears on your smears: Octafish Nov 2015 #152

Gish gallop. Orrex Nov 2015 #156

So, you can't show where I'm wrong. Octafish Nov 2015 #166

You posted a gish gallop, which means you know that you're wrong. Full stop. Orrex Nov 2015 #176

You literally posted the exact same thread on a completely different topic months ago. Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2015 #158

That's right. So what? Octafish Nov 2015 #163

It helps when what you are posting or reposting directly corresponds to the present conversation. Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2015 #165

Great. But that's not what this thread has become, is it? Octafish Nov 2015 #169

FAWNING ACOLYTES! REALLY! ELEVATE??! 7wo7rees Nov 2015 #144

It's "fawning numbnuts". And I demand a silent thread for your insolence and disrespect. Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2015 #155

Does your support for US policy in Ukraine include Victoria Nuland? Octafish Nov 2015 #171

My position on Ukraine is irrespective of Nuland. It only encompasses the truth. Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2015 #173

Why don't you self delete the OP? ucrdem Nov 2015 #177

I am not sure at this moment. I did speak with Octafish this am. 7wo7rees Nov 2015 #183

I know you meant no harm, but a tribute thread that hangs the tributee out to dry ucrdem Nov 2015 #196

Who is Octafish? Where is he/she? Buzz Clik Nov 2015 #153

Just a poster on DU. Octafish Nov 2015 #170

Thank you for putting it into words, DisgustipatedinCA. Octafish Nov 2015 #190
