You have very little interest in the OP. You only squawk about useless and unrelated things. You contribute nothing to the debate. Now people are calling you on it, and you are trying deflect.
My first posting was a question about why there is this hatred between Ukraine and Russia, prompted by that "guest" that was complaining about the "racism" toward Russians, and how "evil" Ukraine behaves.
Then we got into some "fun" stuff about "Hebrew Yoga", and my contribution of the Meru Institute "goofiness" (which is actually pretty interesting) of putting "posture meanings" to each of the Hebrew letters.
Then I commented about that "guest" posting about that economist's statement (assertion) that the "trade war freeze" meant nothing as it "didn't change anything",.. where I asked for some clarification as to how a "freeze" isn't a freeze. There was no reference to the article containing this assertion, so I asked the "guest" for some information.
I was then accused of being obnoxious (which I may well have been in "guest's" eyes), most likely for "daring" to call into question "guest's" critical thinking skills. I agree that "guest's" question was an honest one, but he provided little to work with to make any comment ON his question.
He then judged my comment (questions) as "worthless", even though they were a (rather snarky) request for additional info to help him out, which makes them obviously not "worthless".
As for calling people cowards for signing in as 'guest', how is your sign in name any different? You aren't revealing your real name. Why should anyone use their real name online in this day and age?
I agree with you entirely. It is very inadvisable to use "real" names in forums, period.
But our anonymity is not the issue. The issue is that I have no idea WHICH anonymous "guest" I'm addressing, and he can then easily "hide" behind (thence "act cowardly") his "super dooper anonymity".
It's dangerous to ask questions. I could lose my job if I ask a question which offends someone. The reason I post here is because I can ask questions anonymously.
If, as you said, ALL of our "anonymous names" are anonymous, why NOT at least use a "local identifier" (an ID used only in this forum) that allows questions to be directed properly?
I didn't expect that you would constantly chime in with stupid comments. I'm not going to thank you for wasting my time.
You are fully free to not read anything with my name on it,.. and I'm perfectly free to comment on anything presented here.
Did someone make you "Free Speech Tsar"?
I'm not wasting your time. You are wasting your time, taking any notice of that which is clearly labeled as "not worthy of my time" (to you) by having my name on it.
Your thinking is as fuzzy and self-contradictory as is the impotence of your "power to censor",.. thank goodness.
You obviously don't have a life. That's why you troll this site. Maybe the Kremlin would hire you? On second thought, they wouldn't. Your comments only alienate.
So, using free speech is indicative of "not having a life"? I have the time to play around in here. That's a crime, apparently? How are you any different? You're more "worthy" because you can't string as many words together as those who can? How does THAT work!? Oh,.. your words are more "potent"! Of course...
I do realize that you'd really love to be the arbiter of "all that is worthy", and "eliminate" people who actually enjoy free speech and the exchange of ideas,.. but luckily, would-be tyrannical censors such as yourself don't (yet) have that power.
Yay!
Give yourself a "handle" that we can use to judge your "commentary value" over time, and everyone will have much more respect for you than as the "faceless antifa-like" mob member that you appear to be.
Whatcha say, buckeroo? Ya' up to the challenge?
