North Idaho Wolfman is a fair moderator, and like all of us, he might make a bad call, but I don't see him as an overbearing type of moderator. There is another tractor forum where if you sneeze, they will ban you. Just keep in mind that you are a guest in their house, and you have to play by their rules. Don't agree with their rules, then go somewhere else. The moderators here are a lot more tolerant than on many other forums that I have visited. In fact, sometimes I think that they are overly tolerant, allowing some 'transgressions' to slide by them without comment.
twomany,
I'm really trying to figure out your angle???
You either want us to roll over and lick ourselves,
or
You want us to storm in there guns a blazing?
or
You think Russia and Putin are completely right in there actions?
So confused????
I want us all to THINK and not be lead around like a bunch of sheep.
It is difficult to keep "politics" out of a tractor forum.
But
If you "think" V. Putin is a mad man. it is due to the media putting that thought in you.
Have you followed any of his comment or presentations? Really? I see he is protecting the well being of a massive nation, filled with caring and significant individuals. Both physically and morally. Have you ever worked with any Russian people? They are no different than you or I!
Is the badness of men of the recent past embodied in, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Xi, Maduro, Chavez, Kokomeini etc, or is it the results of the PEOPLE reacting to their own ill intended concepts? Did M. Gaddafi not have a family? Love his wife and children?
The evil is in Power. "Power corrupts, and absolute power Corrupts absolutely."
The power of the media
The power of mock representative governments
The power of a smash and grab group
Would you be a willing and submissive resident of Donetsk? Palestine or Libya? a Uyghur or Hutu?

I only offer "NEWS" (varied perspectives gleaned from the internet) from Ukrainia. The topic of this thread.
Some seem to "LIKE" it, Some do not. I could care less what others like.
