I think the trustees of the National Railway Museum may have had something to say about that. And even with Hodor on our side I doubt we'd have shifted over 100 tons of deadweight.

quite the opposite. the censorship here is getting worse. I'm here since 2007 and I can't recall my posts being secretly deleted.
Yes - I've been infracted a few times but I would never call that censorship.
And I'm referring to the person who deletes my posts.
no idea why you think I'm attacking anyone's country. you might have also confused 'personal attacks' with disproving someone's lies. 'You choice'.

right. the ukraine thread has already had one moderator with a 'tl;dr' attitude.
but now it appears that when I pinpoint my claim and one's fallacies because someone didn't take time to read the thread, it's called 'having a pop at moderators'.

Skybird came here with his silly remark about 'being after Germany and Russia', u_crank followed him with another silly remark about September 39. Our forum doctorate-to-be, CCIP, drew conclusions from what was said earlier and called me a russophobe and started all this 'hes against russia'.
So basically we are neither going to discuss who is deleting posts nor why lies are allowed. But we are going to lynch me for being a russophobe.
Thank God Tribesman has been brigged - I'm pretty sure he would add a 'Jew-eater' title.

well, judging from this thread - a LOT.
One or two people being gullible - no problem.
10 people - no problem.
the whole forum - no problem.
deleting 'inconvenient' posts revealing lies of gullible people - a huge problem.

You proved him wrong, I did the same - he didn't care. He keeps posting his 'maps, facts and whatnot' and tries to fit his narration into what he currently needs. He is an 'exemplary' forum member and I'm a russophobe. :yeah:

I'm not trying to settle world affairs. I'm just trying to prevent 'revisionism' taking place in one of the threads.
Besides, the limits you mentioned are apparently set to more than one scale when it comes to applying them.

Uh Oh! I can see this out the back door!

One thing to add to myself - I'm sorry if I come off attacking, because I don't mean to label anyone or bully them or chase them out, and that certainly applies to both of you, kranz and August. Sorry if I came off that way. I only mean to call out speaking points and behaviour, and I mean no offense towards anyone's personality. Despite all I might disagree on, I have lots of respect for both of you and am not trying to offend you - sorry if I did.

Another thing: I don't hold a monopoly on truth, and I don't think anyone else should either. One thing that I (being very much anti-Putin, anti-crimean-annexation, anti-current-Russian-policy in general) have always done is checked and cross-checked, and you'll see that even in the Ukraine thread, I've repeatedly pointed out caveats, bias, etc. when I saw them, in ikalugin's posts and elsewhere. I've never once seen him react badly or fail to acknowledge information bias. Believe me, since I frequent Russian discussion media, and I know what a paid pro-govenment shill sounds like and behaves like. Ikalugin is nowhere near that, and I think it's unfair to single him out, especially since even if his information does come from particular sources, he never overclaims anything about it and is amenable to polemics.

The notion of distortion presumes an objective truth about the situation. I'm sorry to say, but I think we're about as far as we can be from having an objective picture of what's going on in the Ukraine. There's very little independent reporting, and there are mass campaigns - on both sides - to spin the situation to political advantage. I'm sorry to say, but anyone right now who claims to have some kind of true understanding of it (and thus fights distortion) is a bit misled. I'd rather see things from both sides right now, and I don't see how ikalugin's posts are not helping in that. Don't like his maps? Find other maps. You might say he has a "Russian media machine" behind him, but actually there's easily-found resources from the Ukrainian side doing the same thing. There's a whole community of pro-Ukrainian blogs out there compiling information, videos, evidence, maps, etc. It's very easy to find some backup to help your cause, and nobody will stop you from that here.

How can we trust you?

After all, all Americans these days are rapist mass-murderers, by your logic.

All of you should apologise for something you have no responsibility for, right away :yep:

Can I apologise for our future conduct against alien races? :hmmm:

By Alien do you mean 'off World'?
:har:

In before our resident squirrel:

According to the Foil Hat crowd?
We have already sliced and diced them, Autopsy, stolen downed craft and hidden them and more.
:haha:

Okay, this is where I fall into my bad habit of actually discussing the subject rather than just handing out infractions.
I believe the moderator who deleted your post did so rather than just brig you for the obviously hostile attack.

So far I don't see that you have "disproved" anything. In the deleted post you simply called someone a "dirty liar". Can you show where you have proven that to be true?

First, where exactly did you pinpoint your claim? Did you show the subject of your attacks that he was wrong? Did you prove that he was lying? Please explain.

Second, your opening post of this thread says You accuse the staff here of taking bribes to side with one person or another. That is definitely "having a pop at moderators".

Who is trying to lynch you? "Lynch" means to execute someone, usually by hanging, without a trial. I assume you mean metaphorically, as in convicting you unfairly. Nobody is doing anything because they believe you have something against Russia, or any other country. People will argue with you for saying all Russians are liars, but that's just arguing. But when you call another member a liar you should be ready to prove it. Couple that with the fact that name-calling in general is not allowed at Subsim.

That's pretty funny, considering that Tribesman was brigged for repeatedly calling somebody a liar.

I see where people have argued against him. I fail to see where you or anyone has "proved" him wrong. He is an exemplary forum member because he has backed up his argument with facts (whether right or wrong) and hasn't attacked anyone or called them names as a means of so-called "argument". I don't know whether you are a Russophobe or not. Other members have suggested that. You have not gotten into trouble for that. You have gotten into trouble for violating forum rules by attacking other members and stooping to making accusations you haven't proven.

But the threads you're posting in are devoted to world affairs, and world affairs are what the discussions are about. Are you concerned with the affairs being discussed, or are you interested in attacking members who disagree with you?

You now accuse the staff of applying double standards. You have also said as much to me privately. Can you show and prove that this is so, or is this just another accusation because we don't agree with your assessment?

It is true. Fox Mulder told it to me throug my toilet.

It has to be quantity, not just quality. One town does not qualify it [sarcasm]

OK. Anyone from a guiltless country raise your hands.
