Were the posters actually promoting the interests of Russia/Putin?
Yes, they are pathological liars. How do I know that? Because even after I correct them with the facts they repeat the same trash from thread to thread. And they even lie about me, straight to my face.
For example, Tcrlaf has made posts like "[such and such time ago] you were saying the war would be over in two weeks." Just to make me look stupid, when he knows damn well I never said a thing like it. And he's done this many times, spreading lies not just about Ukraine, but about his opponents too.
Normal posters, even the worst PaulBots, ought to at least behave with a certain degree of honor. These guys are NOT normal posters. They are liars and propagandists.
Don't like it? Tough. Get educated about what's going on here before you criticize me.
