“I don’t fully grasp “zot,” being somewhat of a newbie”
Basically, there are some basic rules, with the most basic being to refrain from personal attacks. On Ukraine, just like most everywhere else, personal attacks is about all the Left has to defend their position, so they call people “Russian Agents”, “Putin Puffers”, “Putin Cultists”. JR doesn’t like that, and I don’t blame him. So they’re either given a time out, or permanently banned here at FR.
My own conclusion is that people who engage in nasty personal attacks actually hate conservatives and would rather not have to even post here - but for some reason (maybe employment?), they feel that they have no choice. I base that on the fact that, generally, only Leftists get nasty when they have to support their positions with facts, since many times (perhaps most of the time) their position is based on emotions (or employment) and so the facts simply don’t support them.
I missed out on a triple Zotting of Zeepers?
Are you doing this on purpose?
