Moral bankruptcy?, The Butler in the library with the canlestick Options

[communicat]

Old fashioned pacifists (and even WP:NPOV rules, surprisingly) believe there are always two or more sides to a story, and all significant sides merit equal attention if anything resembling "truth" is ever to be arrived at. Paradoxical thing is, when someone tries to do so (both at WP and at WR), he/she is promptly labelled "commie". It's reminiscent of the Catholic leading figure (I forget his name) who once observed: "When I gave people food, they called me a saint; when I asked why people were poor, they called me a communist." I suggest the latter is because people like to cover up their own moral bankruptcy, but I'm open to correction. Like I said, there are always two or more sides to a story. Maybe.

Radek:
*Snort*

Ya know Radek, that stuff really messes with your brain after a while. (Which might not necessarily be a bad thing if you want to add to your dazzling collection of wikimedals).

Radek:
"Says the guy [communicat] responsible for the majority of the mindless prattle over the last few weeks."

Says the guy who, whenever his neo-nazi views are challenged, can only retort/resnort "Fuck off". Well, as you can see, I'm not fucking off; and I still maintain you're a neo-nazi, despite or because of your unconvincing veneer of intellectual "superiority".

He did give you a very nice synopsis of US involvement in Chile. Be grateful he didn't decide to really squash you about USSR involvement in central Europe. However, by that time he had realized he was dealing with a True Believer, and there was no point.

If there's anything worse the people who simply say "fuck off" when they are called neo-nazis, it's people who call anybody whose politics are to the right of Rosa Luxemburg a neo-nazi in the first place.

Get the story right, you banal creep. Radek gave me no "very nice synopsis" about US/Chile. I deliberately distanced myself from that off-topic. His "very nice synopsis" was in fact directed at others including GBG who subsequently demolished Radek's brilliant thesis very nicely, thank you. As regards USSR involvement in central Europe, my only regret is that Radek was not among those at Katyn. Same applies to you.

When people like you take their masks off and start making racist (yes, yes, I know "Poles" are not a race) and sociopathic remarks like the above, while at the same time whining and self-pitying themselves over how they got banned from some internet forum "unfairly", I know I'm doing something right.

Telling a dumb Polack that "he should've died at Katyn" takes no balls. Try something braver. Go insult some other ethnic group along the same lines.

Scumbag.

On reading the above brilliant exchange of sentiments, my only observation is that, as we grow older, we apparently grow no wiser or more intelligent--just a little less crazy, and the cultural and historical references change from generation to generation.

As to Communicat, it's like this. He's a rabid leftist. As such, he feels morally superior to others who aren't equally far left. He comes here to bait and criticize, as this (ironically) flatters his sense of moral superiority. Others understandably insult him in return. But this only encourages him because after all, if you sincerely believe yourself to be morally superior, insults are only evidence of your moral superiority.

I've already plonked him, myself.

I disagree that WR is going downhill. I find it quite entertaining!

Nah, you've not plonked me. You've simply and unsrprisingly failed to respond to my earlier remarks about body counts. But you're right about one thing: WR is not going downhill. It's already at the bottom of the cesspool, thanks to rabid wikipedians like you, Radek, and Roe. Funny things is, whenever anyone tries to engage them in reasoned debate about NPOV in WP modern history articles, the topic goes off-topic and then off-off-topic and mudslinging replaces rationality. Why am I not surprised?

GBG, you may ban away. Why would someone want to participate in a cesspool, and why would the current swimmers welcome such obnoxious criticism of the water temperature?

Like I get to decide or something.

There was a moment when I thought a small purge could turn the site around. But that moment passed. If it is any consolation sometimes I feel the same about your posts, although you were never among those I felt needed to be banned.

Thanks a lot.
