The "weigh in on Austinchief vs Orange" thread

[AustinChief]

So.. in the course of a political discussion on another thread... Orange called me a liar and claimed I pulled a number out of my ass. (The number was that you could get oral contraceptive birth control for $15/month)

I showed him that in FACT it is a number from the Planned Parenthood website and truth be told, you can get different generics at Walgreens for $12/month and even $9/month at Walmart and Target.

I have no problem with being called names and told I'm an idiot in this forum. It's par for the course. I even have no issue being called a liar. BUT if you call me out and I show you up.. I expect you to admit the mistake and attack me for being a douche or whatever.

Which brings me to the point. What do you the general populace of DC feel about it?

I thought about it, but orange doesn't generally say anything funny enough to make me bother reading through 12 pages of bickering with another poster.

I'll just assume it was more or less:

Maybe AustinChief should try LOOKING AT THE FACTS!

(insert HuffPost link)

and stop trying to MAKE THINGS UP!

Is that a good enough answer for you AustinChief , or do you need it SPELLED OUT IN CAPS?

I've said this before, but I'm continually amused you guys mock him for posting shit from HuffPo consistently, yet jumped all over my shorts when I chide Pete for copy-and-pasting the Drudge Report.

I think that's his point.

His point was that other people are hypocritical, not himself.

Yes. He was Aliniskynized.

Bring Orange back. He is a valuable poster.

[blaise]

Is he banned or just so mad that he never came back?

I think he left of his own free will, and doesn’t return for the same reason.
I’d assume he’ll be back eventually, maybe after the sting eases a little.

[HonestChieffan]

I hope he returns. We may be polar opposites but he had his sure of good takes on issues

I think Austin is not allowing to come back until he apologizes

He is typically pretty well informed.

I don't think that's true, but I could be wrong.

I hope Orange comes back too.
