You sound very defensive Major Nikon Apr 2015 #95
Why don't you write some OPs of your own? Are you worried that people might not agree with sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #106

Hey, I found Dr. Oz, right here on DU! beam me up scottie Apr 2015 #164
What is your evidence that the majority of DUers agree with Octafish? Orrex Apr 2015 #98
The evidence is in the fact that we never see much of interest from this sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #100
You're aware that that's not actually evidence in support of your claim, right? Orrex Apr 2015 #103
I have an equally reliable test which directly contradicts that claim Major Nikon Apr 2015 #108
Why don't you post that as an OP? Orrex Apr 2015 #109

A threatening condescension makes you almost sound profound. Octafish Apr 2015 #92
