Huh. You said that.
Lol. You honestly don’t see the irony in your own post?
Not that I can recall. But I never had a problem with a quick vote being called. I had a problem with the refusal to hold a vote and that I did complain about.
Another content free post! I presume you’re trying to make a point here about my own posts, but what it is remains a mystery… because, as always, you refuse to put any effort into any of your posts. No cites, no argument, no nothing.
Ed even posted it in inky black:

I demand Octopus stop his/her dehumanizing language of the SDMB and its participants: [moderator note - poll removed]
Summoning the hive to ATMB! That’s what’s despicable and cowardly about you fools. You need social validation.
Imagine coming to social media for social validation, oh the horror!
I was also out validating this. Got a lot of thumbs up ! Validated!
I’ll admit that if that’s you doing that that’s more courageous than I’d be in this environment. I’ll have to retract and apologize about the cowardly comment.
I’ll say this, I do disagree with you and I do take offense with personal insults outside the pit but in this day and with the crazies IRL and on the internet that you posting that is brave. Kudos.
Lol, I’m out there doing this in the current environment:
And thank you. I was born American, with Scottish ancestry and a Calvinist disposition. I am going to make my moral denunciations very loud and clear, it’s just who I am.
And If I may, correct me if I’m wrong, Texas.
(ETA: Retroactively notices “San Antonio” in the earlier picture.)

I do take offense with personal insults outside the pit
That’s nice . . . but the question still is DO YOU FUCKING REPORT IT???
I did and your point is?
Nice!
I am not concerned about that in terms of what should or should not be sanctioned.
Make up the fucking excuse you have for a mind.
What in the world are you talking about? In English please.
If octopus started a thread suggesting that the Earth is flat and that in every rainstorm, you always hear thunder before seeing lightning, everyone who disagreed with him would be a “hive”.
So I don’t think we should take offense at its usage. If you just understand that “hive” just means “people who don’t share my delusion” then it’s a lot easier to understand his arguments.

Got a lot of thumbs up
The dog deserved all those ~beautiful creature!
Thank you for doing that. I don’t have an FBI office near enough or I’d do it too.

If octopus started a thread suggesting that the Earth is flat and that in every rainstorm, you always hear thunder before seeing lightning, everyone who disagreed with him would be a “hive”.
Yeah. I mean, octopus can go into practically any thread on these boards and find Dopers vehemently disagreeing with one another on everything from movie reviews to traffic policy to optimal taxation levels to military strategy to immigration reform.
When we happen to all agree about basic facts such as that the earth is not flat and the moon landings were not faked and octopus is an irrational numpty, this is not because we’re some kind of “hive mind”.
A good rule of thumb is that if everybody thinks you’re an idiot, you probably are an idiot.

You need social validation.
Is that an app or a mouthwash?
But do you see the double standard? The kind you constantly rail against? McConnell refuses to hold a confirmation hearing when a Democratic President is in his last year (eleven months, FTR) of office, then fast-tracks a “quick vote” when TRump wants to slide one in at the eleventh hour.
