To Voyager on political censorship here

[mikeaverko]

The below quotation is from a politically censored thread. Politically censored in the way it was closed relative to what else has been allowed on.

"Mark Bloom didn't delete your rant about Ukr.com. I did. Mark Bloom had nothing at all to do with it. In fact, the only communication I have ever had with Mark Bloom was a casual hello when he first arrived here. Don't blame Mark for your thread being deleted. Blame yourself."

*******************

He's supposedly in charge right?

I don't "blame" myself because I did no wrong whatsoever and as per another point you made about me, I don't have "silly" views on the invloved subject matter.

I know nothing about the court case you mention. However, there's clearly an anti-Russian bias that has been firmly established with numerous examples.

"Move and your fair game."

"Move" where and why repeat the rest like an autistic child?

Excuse me? Political censorship?

Listening to you and Akhmetbek questioning each other's sexuality might rank as highbrow debate in some people's books (and it is indeed mightily entertaining), however it is utterly irrelevant to your issue.

I closed that thread because it was full of meaningless drivel, and I did not, in fact, "censor" any of it. People can read it all, unaltered, and decide for themselves whether it advanced any of the points which were up for debate.

You may recall that I actually asked you what was going on - this was largely because I was concerned that you should have somewhere to advance your views. However I don't recall you saying "I object to VCI because they don't allow me to ask some guy whether he has sex with men behind closed doors".

You may have noticed that nobody has touched this thread. That's because it's on topic.

Voltaire:

Akhmet initiated such manner with me and I replied in kind. I didn't initiate such manner.

SRD and yours truly engage in substantive discussion, whereas some others come on as flat out cranks with the intent to troll a discussion to a low level.

They can be ignored yes. They can also be excommunicated as well. That scenario would be far more just when compared to what has gone on over at ukraine.com

For the record, I don't support them being banned (unless they really get out of hand). Likewise with myself. That's because I know my views to be soundly based and if I'm wrong, I'm willing to acknowledge such. Educated people with a zen for learning carry on as such.

Some of the moderators don't abide by that which is very clear by some of the actions they have taken.

The moderators shouldn't abuse their powers in a clearly hypocritical manner as I and others have detailed beyond any reasonable doubt.

Mikeaverko,

You seem to be a sincere guy, but you just don't get it. I explained this to you in other threads, and I'll give it a shot here, just for grins....

You are welcome to come here and trash the concept of an independent Ukraine in the context of Russia as much as you like. You can complain about Americans, Russians, Ukrainians, and even the Irish, if it makes you happy.

There is no political censorship here in that context. If I agree with your comments, I'll say so. If I think you are off base, I'll argue with you. Sometimes, I might just ignore you. So far, so good, right?

Here is the kicker I have tried to get across to you several times before. This is russia.com, not ukraine.com. If you have a problem with one or more moderators on ukraine.com, take it up with them on their turf. They don't hang out here, so they won't read your words of wisdom here. Constant ragging about Dobko from ukraine.com on this site is both counterproductive, and annoying. It also flies in the face of the rules here at russia.com. Please stop spamming this site with a littany of problems you experienced on a different site. Either take up your problems with the site that threw your butt out the front door, or forget it, and get on with your life, and political point of view.

Your missadventures with the staff at ukraine.com don't warrant hijacking russia.com in order to build a new base of operations. Follow the rules, or try to remember why a thread was deleted. It's your choice.

Voyager:

The two are affiliated no?

You think it's right that Dobko continues to trash me there and that an out and out crank like his friend "CzarMikita" goes after me over here?

You don't critique that aspect thereby showing a clear bias on your part.

You mean that this doesn't even qualify in the "Open Board" section?

I put it under Politics because it's a political matter.

What says the other moderators as well as posters?
