Chapter One. Omnileech
Omnileech is a College Student pursuing a History Major who was, a few years ago, one of the ED razz 's many committed moderates. However, like many of his ilk, he shifted hard left. While quite fond of citation, he also tends to prefer personal attacks and Strawmen when links are in short supply.
Republicans have a Gay Sex Problem- A thread in which Omnileech flat out lied about portions of the UCMJ. After literally 10 pages of telling him to confirm his bullshit interpretation of the law with either Orders or Enforcement, I threw the Hammer Down. A very Oorah Moment for me, a week in the making.
That Military Sure is a Big Spender- Omni makes a very short-lived and failed attempt to start a Military-Bash... by, of all things, blaming Re-enlistment bonuses for the Children's Healthcare Crisis. Wow. Needless to say, he was quickly put down in a bi-partisan bitchslap.
So who have you learned from here?-Omni's response to a Name Drop thread that I had started the day before. A short tangent involving whether or not the Queen was the Soverign of Canada quickly devolved into a Flame Fest. Which, considering that Omni was (at last) silenced and forced to move forward with the discussion at hand, I consider to be a personal victory. Still wondering who it was that told him to shut up though... I have my suspicions. For the record, it ended up in the Chatterbox. My introduction thread did not.
A Pro-Life dream come true...-One of the more flagrant misrepresentations to date. Omni here attempted to link Pro-Life desires to protect the unborn with a retroactive Absolutionist approach to abortion in Nicaragua. I called him on it, and the topic (after petty attempts at firestarting by a few users,) evolved into a discussion between myself and Oblivious Sage. We almost reached a middle ground. Almost.

Resid3nt is a user from Europe who began posting as an Anti-American Troll. He eventually stopped mindlessly trolling, and is now a mid-level Liberal. He hates being called Liberal. He loves to cite fallacies, but commits them with gusto himself.
OPEC Leaves Dollar, Output Questions Dangling-A thread in which I engaged Res!dent over the US debt, and it's effect upon the economy. After I showed him that European nations had debt ratios that were higher than the US, he began to question the validity of my statistics, and then resorted to trolling, and even reported me. He was never able to adequately answer my arguments.
America's International Image-A thread in which Res!dent tried to generalize Conservatives as Criminals, by using the faulty logic that, since most Servicemen are Conservative, and some Servicemen have committed crimes, therefore Conservatives have committed crimes in Iraq. I pointed out his Transitive Fallacy (though I initially miscited it,) at which point he resorted to lies and trolling... as well as attempting to pass off Haditha as four separate incidents.
