But this thread is not about the silly photograph! I have never disputed that it is probably a re-purposed "found" image. This thread is about Corruption's propaganda techniques.

The title of this thread is not "Corruption's propaganda techniques". The OP never mentions "Corruption's propaganda techniques". This thread is on the "Deconstructing Disinformation" forum, not on the "Rant" forum.
You are willfully re-purposing this thread. Much like the picture in the OP.
DJW001
Did I say I have a problem with re-purposing things? Disinformation is disinformation and needs to be deconstructed wherever it is found. Sorry if your boy didn't finish too well in this one. At least he was smart enough not to bump it again. Thanks for not doing him any favors.
My boy? What's that supposed to mean, exactly?
And I'll bump whatever I want, thank you very much, whether you mock my intelligence or not. It would be nice if you could abstain from personal insults. I don't think I've been uncivil to you so far, why not return the favor?
I don't come here to do anyone a favor. I come here to learn, to discuss, to make sense of my ideas and this chaotic little world we live in. That's why I came to this thread. You came here to settle a vendetta. There's pages upon pages of you fighting with Corruption, over something that has little to do with the topic. You ran this thread to the ground because of your feelings for a user. That was rather unhelpful. Let's hope this is just a one-off and you won't see fit to "re-purpose" any other thread on this forum...
DJW001
I'm sorry... I understood your post to mean that you approve of Corruptions propaganda and disinformation techniques.
DJW001
Where do I insult you or your intelligence?
DJW001
I'm very sorry that you seem unable to accept or learn the lesson of this thread. Corruption is a manipulative bully who does not have your best interests in mind. He came here to warp your mind. If it went on for pages, it was because he could not let go. He ran himself to ground and exposed his own corruption. I suggest you see it for what it is, then let it go yourself.
Because I don't share your views about the alteration/mislabeling of photos? You sure were quick to label me.
Your post implied that I bumped the thread to defend Corruption.
You said Corruption was smart not to bump the thread.
Since I wanted to defend Corruption and bumped the thread, what does that make me?
It's so simple, I'm 100% convinced you couldn't have posted this unware of the insinuation. Why are you fainting ignorance?
I can decide for myself who's manipulative bully that should not be trusted, thank you very much. I can think for myself. I don't need your "lesson" or your "guidance" for this end. You two exposed nothing but your personal quarrel. And totally derailed the thread.
DJW001
Which is more important? Mislabeling a photo towards an unambiguous end, or mis-titling a thread towards a hidden agenda? The people who appropriated the photo had a clear agenda. The initiator of this thread refuses to acknowledge that he even had an agenda. Which do you find more objectionable? Which is more manipulative?
DJW001
Why did you bump the thread, then?
DJW001
So he was. You will note that even now he is not rejoining the discussion.
Do you or do you not want to defend Corruption? If you do, you had best not bump the thread.
Why are you taking offense at a hypothetical?
DJW001
Do you or do you not approve of Corruption's tactics?
DJW001
Once again, this is the Deconstructing Disinformation Forum. This thread deconstructed Corruption's disinformation. What do you see as the problem?

I can't STAND "Fake Propaganda", I like my propaganda to be 100% grade "A" ACTUAL, no holds barred, REAL, ORIGINAL made-up stuff! Not that half-a$$, some"some made-up facts may have been substituted for hipper, more timely and fun made-up facts" kind of propaganda! and since it's about the organ donors in syria, who cares? want to put them out of they're misery? I suggest a few MIRV's followed by a VERY LARGE BULLDOZER !

Propaganda comes in many forms , it is not black and white...
Even the truth can be used as propaganda.

You are not the center of the universe and every post in this thread does not revolve around you.
It would be preferred if you spoke when spoken to.
