Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. We've had to ask you this many times.
Attacking another user for their ethnicity is going to get you banned here, regardless of who you have a problem with. I realize that people feel strongly in a war but you can't do that here, so please don't do it again.
You're serious? The guy brings in the trolling from Russian propaganda forums- you should see the trash they spread there - the Russian here isn't ethnicity, it is the country Russia which has many ethnicities - and you let him just do it.
I'm not attacking him for ethnicity - i'm pointing that it is pretty obvious that he is a Russian troll. Do you really think that his comment isn't in a gross violation of all the rules, and such comment requires an answer with specific facts/references i gave? You're really on the wrong side here.
>We've had to ask you this many times
sorry, i don't remember those many times.
In this specific case what do you see as a "flamewar" on my side? Do you see any fake facts or lying? Qualification of cultural genocide as what being committed by Russia isn't just my words here - it follows definition, just google it.
Whereis the guy clearly lied without any possible factual backing when he made that statement of "fake". That is one of the main points and tools of Russian propaganda, and you just let it here. That propaganda right now is a weapon used by Russia together with other weapons in that war.
His "fake" to the cultural genocide being performed by Russia is no different than a "fake" in response to Armenian genocide or Holocaust. How can you let it here?
If one says that Turks committed Armenian genocide or Germans - Holocaust would it be attacking Turks or Germans on their ethnicity? How is that different when applied to Russians?
I'm reposting my comment. Feel free to ban me.
