Feel free to list those here and rant about how idiotic you may find them~
The one that gets on my last nerves the most is "I see no lies" and every single of its variants. It's ****ing stupid. Lying is consciously stating untrue things. It's really not really applicable to opinions (so 90% of the content here), and when it is applicable, it defeats the purpose of using it, because the person referred to just looks like a total moronic loser for lying about their opinion on the internet.
When it comes to the 10% facts that we see here, it's hardly applicable either; if the facts are correct, and you say "I see no lies", good job, you're Captain Obvious. Most of the wrong information that is posted here is the result of an honest mistake anyway.
There's virtually no case where that expression accomplishes anything other than making the one who used it look like a particularly stupid donkey imo.

TL;DR: "I see no lies" is for morons.
