Hey, why don’t you Putin cultists pick on me instead of a woman,
You want names of Putin Trolls, because they certainly don’t care about the Russian people, try Navy Patriot, Desert Rhino, McGruff.
This is a forum, why don’t Mariner, TrumpIsOurLastChance and BobL go whine to the moderators if they don’t like free speech discussion.
You and these others are warned per this “shaming” of others per posts, you can really see per Mariner asserting “one is trying to sew discord” and “you’re even fit for this forum” that it is you all who are trying to defend the indefensible and somehow, you all are using this same tactic of trying to shame others.
Admin is pinged here, you take it up with them instead of using profanity, which is listed as flagrantly against the rules here, since you are telling others they may not fit in and telling others they don’t fit in.
Sorry, but calling people who disagree with you PUTIN TROLLS here without any justification (which is what some do to me) is also outside of the rules and it’s a bit sickening to have people here name call, rather than discuss things. And it is NOT “free speech” here to call people who disagree over Russia “Putin Trolls”.
But I do appreciate you mentioning people by name. I’ll look at their posting history and decide for myself - and perhaps they are trolls...but NOT just because they happen to see things differently.
And no, I don’t need to whine to the moderators, yet.
I did scan the people you’ve named. They all post here a huge amount. One of them only rarely touches on Russia, so definitely not a troll, as us trolls are only paid for posts that are PERTINENT to defending Putin, so he would be wasting a huge amount of time trying to maintain his cover. The others do tend to be more Russia-heavy in their postings, but their Russia postings over the past few years are still a small part of their overall postings, and they have been here a long time, and posted for a long time. Even Rose admits to being very interested in Russia with heavy postings in that area...be we don’t claim she’s on McCain’s payroll either.
Anything’s possible, but I’d say it’s just as likely that they (and I) see the same set of data as you do and conclude differently. That certainly is the case between McCain and Trump (or Cruz), and even within Trump’s administration, regarding the Russians.
Anyway, the name-calling of people who disagree is ridiculous doesn’t belong on the forum, unless someone has material evidence to prove their claims. Russia happens to be a very controversial topic, which is why people don’t get booted here for taking one side or the other (whereas call for gun-grabbing and you won’t be here long). But name-calling by either side is not a good thing.
