I don't make that many political threads! If the thread title was changed to US presidential threads it would be acurate, but your list contained many political threads. SO either it's just another missleading thread title or you're full of ****. I can accept either option.
And Lorizael, I don't think he cares. |

Someone who doesn't care wouldn't raise the same point in three other threads on top of starting another thread on the very topic. To a certain extent I do care that a falsehood is being repeated about me. Call it correcting the record. |

And it isn't just that, but a kind of needing people to agree with him and when they don't, lashing out at them in increasingly irrational attacks. |

It's not the thread titles themselves that are particularly relevant. It's the fact that you have virtually no ability to see outside of your own perspective. While your stances on issues range a bit and can even change, whatever point of view you currently hold is, as far as you're concerned, absolutely correct in every way. And because you look at things that way, you will do whatever it takes to support your side of the argument, from presenting information that may not be reliable, to insulting other posters, and to making a crapload of threads about the same thing. Really, the bigger problem is Oerdin is a tabloid-style political poster and frankly, that's boring. |

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you. I believe I actually do listen and understand other people's positions even if I don't agree with them and even disagree strongly. Please ignore me if you'd like as that would be better then you always following me around posting personal attacks. Surely you can do that? |

You do not try to understand other arguments. Your argue until you get backed into a corner of being obviously wrong (see the "world's largest oil reserve" thread). Then when you see no way out, you pretend like it was all one, big, comical troll thread and LOL LOOK HOW WELL IT WORKED. It's a joke, that. This is why I think you're sticking to op-ed stuff. Even stuff most people here would agree with you on (Bush sucks, etc). But you do it in such a hilariously inept manner that even people who would agree with you are put off by the threads. |

Lets assume that Imran's list is correct, which I don't but, for the sake of argument. That would be 5 out of 14 or .35... Just over 1 in 3. Please recognize that even the worst case scenario has 2/3rds of my threads not being political. The threads that are not political are either "LOOK AT ME" threads (eg, "I AM GOING TO MANHATTAN IN A FEW MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!") or dupe threads where someone more topical already beat you to it (the MOBIUS Egghead thing) or simply outrageously misleading "joke" threads without the humour. I say you're a tabloid political poster because all of your other threads are even more worthless than the tabloid ones. |

I posted that thread for the same reason I often post many of my travel threads on several forums. I often meet up with other posters and end up having a great time. If that is a look at me thread then oh well. |

The ****ing "It's a troll" crap is sooo damned see through and annoying and only comes when Oerdin's been whipped thoroughly and feels like he can't insult or tangent himself out of it. People who agree with him can't stand his method of "debate" either and are thus put off. The "with me or against me" style of arguing is one that very few people like. He's like a left wing version of O'Reilly. |
