The Octagon

Unread post by Bootsy » Mon Feb 09, 2026 1:58 pm

After all of the virtue signaling, shaming, angry recriminations, outlandish claims, pithy comments and ad hominem attacks being thrown around by the usual suspects (you know who you are), it’s past time for a dedicated thread where you can battle it out without hijacking literally every other thread on the board.

Welcome to the Octagon! :twisted:

Or everyone could just be consistent in their logic and principals and debate the topic at hand without name calling.

Oh and not be offended when your contradictions from one thread to the next are called out. :D

Sounds like it is far past time for the famed Food City bruhaha, albeit with different participants. For the life of me, I can't remember the location of that particular Food City parking lot, but those threads were all time rants.

It was the Food Lion parking lot in Mountain City.

We used to have a section for this type of stuff. You could opt in. It didn’t work. Or maybe it did, and I’m not a part of it anymore.

That is exactly what it was and where it was. Somehow, I conflated the two and came up with Food City. RIP Cline. Anyone have any idea about Ggreg?

When I saw the heading I thought it was about the octagon on campus. Glad it is still there. Should be designated a National Landmark.

Rule of engagement: If you accuse someone of contradictions, hypocrisy and the like, back it up with a screen shot of their past posts. Some here (me) are too tired, lazy and/or apathetic to fact check your claim.

Tired, lazy, sure, but if you were apathetic you wouldn’t start a thread like this, need a screen shot? ;-)
