    Well, I do make judgments on the affairs of other nations based on “a history of behavior” and I’m free to post my opinion. I’m not here for your petty and aimlessly pedantic bs. Consider yourself blocked.

      Rather than block people with opposing views, why not just disagree and live with sharing spaces with people who think differently from you?

        Huh? This is not me blocking someone over opposing views. Are we reading the same thread? I’m blocking someone who I found painfully pedantic for demanding evidence over a throwaway comment in an incredibly informal forum and treating it like it’s some sort of official statement. It’s a smug, clueless, and self-serving attempt to “keep people accountable” without regard for context. If anything, this person is trying to shut me up by using demanding evidence as a weapon.

        So yeah, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t accuse me of things that didn’t happen.
