Officers of the United States Government should be on trial -- not PFC Bradley Manning.

149. I'm hurt

You just leave me sitting on the curb, staring sadly at the oggan and wondering what went wrong with us and when, with only the coldly moaning wind of my heart's winter evening for company, but you pay attention to other people so much you go to the effort of making sure you're noticed loudly trying to get their threads shut down after the hosts decide to leave them up.

Why don't you pay attention to me like that, Sid? Why?

You never loved me!



Whatever. I've yet to see Octafish "make up" anything even one time in all these years and all their articles are usually fairly well supported by links to further information from many and varied sources; "Better Believe It" Octafish is definitively not. I do disagree with conclusions now and then, but we're all free to do that; I've yet to see any indication of a hidden agenda on this one's part, though, and I've never once gotten the sense I'm being manipulated when I read one of their articles. I nearly believe you're reading someone else's posts and attributing them to Octafish by mistake, because you are not describing anything like the writings by the one I read on this site.

I truly don't get it this time, Sid. When I think of people who might deserve to be discredited in your pithy, truth-dithering manner here on DU for the, in this case, fondly imagined sin of posting "made up shit", Octafish has never been on the list, never even close. I can think of several others, deserving proto-trolls all, who do deserve your special accolades off the top of my head, but.... no. And the years' worth of posts consistent with everything I've said is there for anyone to search through and see for themselves.

What are you thinking, Sid? What could possibly be the upside of trying discredit someone with no ammunition to use against them, and against someone with such a long and consistent history of valuable contribution to this site behind them at that?
