He was hot and heavy over there for a while, tho.

I never understood his appeal here. He was the most credulous poster I'd ever seen, and was demonstrably careless with sourcing, He'd post articles from odious characters like Paul Craig Roberts, or Wayne Madsen, or Don Fulsom, and didn't care that these authors were homophobes and bigots and white nationalists.

His posts about crop circles were legendary, and make for great re-reading, even to this day.

Truthfully, I miss Octa. He was one of the most entertaining posters at DU.
