You say “I just can’t believe the site I joined 24 years ago — that I was so in awe of because of all the brilliant thinkers who were members — has become such a viper pit”

Do you participate in the “Ad Hominem” attacks i.e. attacking the person instead or their position? Most here distinguish between Putin & the Russian population. At least, I do. Putin is no good.

I try to avoid personal attacks or name-calling. I may have slipped a few times over the years, but it was usually only in response to an ad hominem attack on me.

I’m not in favor of regime change anywhere in the world. If the ppl in Russia are happy with Putin, then who am I to say if he should stay or go? We should take care of our own country’s needs first before we start policing the world.
