I moved it to the Lounge because it's a low quality or informal discussion. The one interesting post, from Tzeentch, gained only a stupid response.

To answer your point: that's fair, but because it's not automated it doesn't always happen.

don't call my responses stupid; it's just a veiled ad hom.

you live in Moscow, don't you? Bit worried about the content of my thread?

Yeh, they only allow me to keep this forum going on the condition that I stamp out any criticism of Putin or the glorious FSB, defenders of the Motherland.

sarcasm aside, I think it's a legitimate question to ask you.

I don't see why. You're clearly on a war footing already, and it's clouding your judgment.

I serve the TPF members, not the Russian state.

Thanks for clearing that up. Let's go back to a TPF member's 'interesting' response... Tzeentch claimed: "China probably has more power over western internal affairs than vice versa" then fucked off without justifying/explaining themselves (this is just one example of this from their post).

Why did you brand my response to that 'stupid' and move the thread? Have another go at explaining yourself.

In case it has to stated explicitly: this is not a Russian website, it's in a foreign language, and it's a philosophy forum with no mass appeal, and certainly not in Russia. The Russian authorities don't care about us and I'm happy for people here to criticize the Russian government if they want to.

Tzeentch made some good points and you were too lazy, rude, or ignorant to discuss them.

This doesn't answer my question. It's merely another ad hom.

Thanks for the info on a question I didn't ask.

It wasn't for you.

ah, it's for members with interesting (thoroughly unsupported) claims, yeah?

oh my god this is beyond stupid

what is?

A reason could automatically be added to the thread by the mod who moved it. — Professor Death

Could works better than should.

I originally had should in there :scream:
