Excellent deconstruction of that veiled little threat at Post 45.
That poster’s behavior is curious. You see how he enters the thread and “hall monitors” every comment that isn’t in lockstep with the propaganda being presented here.
I hope these little hall monitors realize that they’re not intimidating anybody with their pathetic attempts to shut down the opposition. If he *is* a Mod and starts shadow-banning of zotting people who disagree with the Ukraine propaganda-pushers, then c’est la vie. People will see this as a huge turn-off.
I don’t think this is Jim’s intent at all. (I did meet Jim - via an arranged VoIP phone call from Baghdad when my fellow Houston FReepers were hosting him when he, Sheila {R.I.P.} and Chris visited Houston in 2004. Very nice guy.)
I did take note that six comments in a row were made -- 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50.
I, for having responded to some comments here as well, might be said to be overly involved in this particular thread, but I try to cite references and often offer URLs and such rather than "look it up" or make assertions without additional documentation.
It seems to me a "forum" which is free can indeed feature disagreements.
