Given your complaints about coruption in Ukraine, why are you supporting Russia where the level of corruption is even higher according to international measures. Moreover why call Ukraine’s leader a midget when Putin is about the same size and also supports kidnapping Ukraine’s children to Russia and then doing WHAT to them?? In addition, Putin has a well followed approval of rape being practiced in Ukraine on its citizens of both sexes. After all, rape is a manly punishment for men.
So far as censorship of abuse is concerned, most of it seems to involve particularly offensive language and insults which are specifically defined in JR’s rules of civil engagement in comments. If you don’t want to be censored, for example, stop insulting and defaming fellow FReepers.
1) --- "...why are you supporting Russia?" I am not supporting Russia, such that your underlying assumption is simply false.
Among those who comment on threads like these, some argue there can be only two choices. One supports the Zelensky government of Ukraine, or one supports the Putin government of Russia. There are more views than this, which your question simply ignores, and therefore anyone who holds a third view is dismissed, assigned the role of a P-supporter and then addressed as such. In doing so, you dilute your attempt to further discuss anything with me.
2) As far as censorship as a topic is concerned, you again "palm the ace." No comment on any side in this discusscion can censor another. This is why I entered a clear, dictionary definition into my last comment. To censor is not in the hands of any who comments on this forum, period.
It was included specifically because another stated -- and stated incorrectly -- that "those Freepers that are trying to censor...." can actually censor. They cannot. Ergo, your comment to me is a misrepresentation of the forum guidance, as it is a misuse of simple definitions as one finds in any dictionary.
If you have any concerns that I attempt to "censor" other Freepers, and if you feel that there can only two possible views of an "officially" non-NATO war between two non-NATO nations, then your avenue is not to joust with me in words, incorrectly used, but to contact with your complaint(s) the management of this Forum directly.
To that end, and as publicly available on the splash page of the site,

Ahh! The 'ol "opposing sending US taxpayers' hard earned cash to Youcrayne means you support Russia" trope.
As you and all other Youcrayniacs surely know by now, I dislike both Youcrayne and Ruzzzzziiiiia. But the FACT of the matter is that my money's not going to Ruzzziiiaaa to support the murderous scumbag Putin. But it is going to that little low-class, gay-dancing, grifting fraud Zelenskyyyy and to all the kleptocrats and parasites in his orbit who make bank off of US taxpayers' hard, honest work.
Again, I ask the question: Why are you so madly in love with one of the most corrupt nations in Europe, one notorious for child trafficking, neo-Nazi militias, human trafficking, organ trafficking, massive government corruption and one that is a money laundering center for scumbags like the Bidens, Kerrys, Pelosis and Romneys?
"So far as censorship of abuse is concerned, most of it seems to involve particularly offensive language and insults which are specifically defined in JR’s rules of civil engagement in comments. "
Again, more bullshit. At its peak, RevMom censorship frenzy resulted in large numbers of comments removed factory removed from her posts that were neither personally abusive nor contained offensive language. They simply opposed her views and her methods of spam posting pro-Youke propaganda. But there are endless comments by Youcrayniacs - even today - that contain unsolicited, personal insults flung at those who oppose their views. Those comments almost always stand.
“So far as censorship of abuse is concerned, most of it seems to involve particularly offensive language and insults which are specifically defined in JR’s rules of civil engagement in comments. If you don’t want to be censored, for example, stop insulting and defaming fellow FReepers.”
I hope you realize both Rocco DiPippo; and Worldtraveler once upon a time are to be ignored. Both comment in other FR forums on other threads, their same pompous rhetoric. So just don’t respond. As with a few others, “if you could buy them for what they are worth, and sell them for what they think they are worth, you would be a billionaire in one month!” ;)
