I am told that people on right-wing websites say that Boojatta is a paid right-wing distractor

[Boojatta]

I guess that it goes without saying that if someone posts something on a right-wing website, then it must be true. After all, if you don't have absolute faith in the truth of everything that is posted on right-wing websites, then you deserve no credibility whatsoever on DU, right? If you don't worship Sarah Palin's "beautiful" "mind", then you yourself are obviously a right-wing shill, and probably also paid by the right wing.

1. Perhaps I should point out for the tone deaf that although the title of this thread is true ...

the rest of the original message of this thread is sarcasm.

Edited to add: I mean that it is true that I was told that. I don't know what is written on right-wing websites about DU member Boojatta, except for about three posts that a search engine found. Of the posts that I found, none said that I am right wing, and none said that I am paid to post messages.

2. I would say you are the exact opposite, a protractor.

That's just my angle on the question.

3. I disagree

Clearly he is a slide rule.

4. Like a single point, blindingly bright, you have illuminated the question.

Two rays diverged from a bright dude
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though, as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

Two rays diverged from a bright dude
And together they formed an angle.

8. Now you're just being obtuse.

Never a protractor nor a ruler be. Trust your moral compass.

5. Huh.

I always thought of you as more of a backbencher shouting out whatever crossed your mind at that moment.

6. Are there benefits?

Not that I would consider it. Of course.

7. Any thread which tips its hat to Frost and Lafcadio Hearn can't be all bad.

Who is Lafcadio Hearn, you may ask? He is positive proof that John Donne was wrong.

At least one man is an island.

And BTW, Lafcadio must be weeping in his grave for his beloved Japan.
