Do you ever remember your threats about people contacting you who threatened harm to me, my family and my home and wanted you to join them? They obviously regarded you as a fellow traveller. The posts (fact or fiction?) that put me on my guard in the first place? Do you remember the Tic-Toc, Tic-Toc countdown you added to many posts you made? No of course not. This is yet another of your countless posts, which have the sole purpos to attack me.

Absolutely!

In an fruitless effort to get you to tone things down a bit and to point out how much and how many people you were upsetting - from behind your keyboard of course - I brought to your attention the fact that two of the people you'd rubbed up the wrong way contacted me online, with a view to "paying you a visit". I warned you of this and also pointed out that I'd told them - in no uncertain terms - to get a life. It's just a forum, not the centre of the bleedin' universe (you should try better to keep it there). You transmogrified that into something completely different. As you do with so many things. "Family? "Home?" WTF are you talking about? Absolute bollox. A fantasy, contstructed in order to justify your own actions. The "Tic-toc" was reminding you (when you'd periodically gone off on one) of the above and that if you continued in the same vein I believed that, sooner or later, somebody was likely to make good on their anger. The eternal conflict between yourself and Paphitis here is a typical example of those I've seen you involved in. You have an unparalleled knack for arousing passions in people.

As hard as some might find it to believe, in the 18 months we met monthly, I never showed you anything but the hand of friendship. You have never suffered any harm from me off forum. That's your speciality. You're a Jekyll and Hyde. No prizes for guessing which is which.

As far as my sheep-like echoing everything that the west have gotten up to, that's another fantasy. I've expressed anger and reservations about lots of things. Starting perhaps with the original invasion of Iraq, which I thought was going to be militarily brilliant but turn into a total disaster in the future. I've previously listed my contempt for a number of current UK politicians. My loathing of the EU is a matter of record. Also, unlike Paphitis, I have a fairly low opinion of Trump but regard him as transitory and currently, after the mid-terms, a bit of a lame duck POTUS. None of that scratches the surface of my dislike of dictators/depspots/tyrants. A matter of family experience. They're the buggers that are going to fuck you up.

Conversely, you've agreed with absolutely everything Russian as far back as I can remember. That's a gold-plated fact.

You shouldn't take yourself so seriously mate. I don't think many in here do and what I said about people like myself and Paphitis being platforms, providing you with your bread and butter, is the hard-to-swallow truth.

Just for the record, I have read the above post from LR, but not the preceding post from the Pootin fanboy!

I am not going to get myself into an ad hominen exchange online as it is a complete waste of my time.

I have said my piece, and my views on Pootin are very well founded and very much in agreeance with the international community and mainstream.

Australia has a lot more friends in this world than Russia does. FACT! In fact, Australia is a respected citizen of the world, Russia is not.

Australia does not send warships into the waters near a G20 if it knows it will cause security concerns for the host, unless of course it is invited. It was a real shame that Pootin was allowed to attend the G20 in Australia considering the fact that Australians were calling for Pootin to be denied entry on account of the 45 Australian families that lost loved ones from their shooting down of MH17.

We do not want anything to do with Russia and couldn’t care less if the Russian Embassy in Canberra was given its marching orders back to the shithole they came from.

Yes, it is a shithole! And I couldn’t care less if Australian Emnbassies in Russia are completely shut down. Give our diplomats a vacation on the Sunny Coast or something. Poor bastards probably haven’t seen the sun in months.

Don’t want anything to do with the shithole! And it is a friggin shithole. We don’t need them, have no trade with the shitsain country and as far as I am concerned, Russia can go fuck itself!

Australia is a blessed country. The Russians can just look upon our country with envious eyes. They can look upon our country and see wealth and bueaty while we look on their’s and see a shithole!

We would rather have dealings with Saudi Arabia and North Korea than the Russian shitstain!

All Russians can be deported, except for those that have requested asylum and protection.

There is no reason why we should even have any diplomatic contact with these criminals.

Well ..... what a wonderfully unbiased, well researched and clear description of your arch enemy! Vladimir will be real chuffed when I send a copy to him! I assume you are speaking for the main stream majority? Just confirms, if it was needed, what a complete and utter dick-head you are. Main stream my ass ..... more like the foul water sewer!

Not worth a reply! Yes we all know how you feel you have told everybody before ..... frequently. In fact at 95% of what you post covers the same subject .... a constant repetition of the same old whinge about ME!

Ok but how many times should we hear the same story over and over again?


Excellent! I am not taking sides, just saying these points are excellent, and this is what (at least my self) is interested to hear.

‘Bread and butter”. “Hard to swallow”. I’ve gotta work on my puns.

I very sensible observation. Although It may only take 'two-to-Tango' that won't fill a dance-hall if the rest just listen to the music !

Pyrpoliser,

They may both be ‘platforms’ with opposing views to mine and others, but unfortunately neither of them ever explains their point of view in any detail and rarely link to other than MSM sources. I try to ‘discuss’ but when the only reply you get is a personal ‘slagging-off’, condemnation, ridicule, the derision of sources and authors and constant unfounded and unsubstantiated criticism, it leaves anyone with a contrary view (particularly me), constantly on the defence because I do take the threads that I take the time and trouble to comment on, seriously!

I do not deny that although British I do have a lot of respect for both Putin and Assad, as do their respective populations. This is not determined by an ideology but because I genuinely believe they are more the subject of propaganda assaults than any proven criminal act’s or failures under International Law ..... it’s all rhetoric that once promulgated by the MSM (and Government agencies/NGO’s) becomes ‘proof’ in some people’s minds, people who ARE driven by an ideology. But, if you follow the more credible independent news sites, the most probable scenario becomes obvious and it is rarely the view the majority are made aware of.

Why do you think ‘They’ are now censoring the information available on the Internet? Because people are beginning to ..... as RT says ..... ‘Question More’

[Pyrpolizer]

Don't worry RH, and don't expect much of an agreement with other forumers.
You and LR (from what I figured so far) have diametrically opposite views on nearly everything.
But that's the whole beauty of it.
Go on supporting your views and everything will be alright. Nobody is fully correct or fully wrong, it's always a two way road in learning from or teaching to others

Although LR's question of
"When have you expressed a single doubt or criticism of absolutely anything that's come out of the Kremlin" was addressed to you, I want to say something about it.

I only dealt with 2 issues so far that have to do with Klemlin Vs West issues. a) The skripal case and b)the latest part of the war in Syria.

In both cases the accused by the Western Governments and Media was Russia (Russia & Assad in Syria). In both cases Russia was pushed against the wall having to listen to insane demands to prove innocence. In both cases I felt that the Western Governments and Media were orchestrating a propaganda war against Russia aiming at getting support from their brainless masses.

I am really curious to learn from LR when exactly has Russia accused the West of anything, and when exactly has it used unfounded propaganda against any western nation just to get support from her own brainless masses? All I see happening is the reverse.

[Londonrake]

RH: obviously, you found my suggestion unpalatable then. Ho, ho, ho! (private joke) Fair enough.

Excellent! I am not taking sides, just saying these points are excellent, and this is what (at least my self) is interested to hear.

Forgive my not starting with a "What a sensible reply" ingratiating intro.

Note though that in what followed RH doesn't actually refer to those "excellent points" at all, nor to the entirely truthful fact that he's agreed with absolutely everything that's come out of Russia for the duration of his interest. NB: you don't have to have been a member for 10 years to look back at 10 years of another member's posts of course. RH's first post seems to have been in May 2009, in a thread started by Milti who's very angry about the standard of driving in Cyprus. Everything changes but............. stays the same - eh?

Anyway, I've provided some background about my views which I think support my claim to having a balanced approach to western politics and am not the rabid "programmed" follower of the propaganda line, etc that Mr Hood likes to claim (that not being slagging off of course). That's surely more appropriate to those who slavishly follow the "party" line with total fidelity?

Pyrpoliser

They may both be ‘platforms’ with opposing views to mine and others, but unfortunately neither of them ever explains their point of view in any detail and rarely link to other than MSM sources.

RH is not - and never has been - interested in any point of view other than his own. His suggestion that the entirety of global MSM isn't worthy of consideration, and that it should be contemptuously swept aside and ignored is ridiculous. He's merely trying to confine any discussion (actually there isn't really any discussion) to narrow confirmation bias criteria.

I try to ‘discuss’ but when the only reply you get is a personal ‘slagging-off’, condemnation, ridicule, the derision of sources and authors and constant unfounded and unsubstantiated criticism, it leaves anyone with a contrary view (particularly me), constantly on the defence because I do take the threads that I take the time and trouble to comment on, seriously!

"Discussion" previously touched upon and here correctly italicised. There's always been a distinct lack of "discussion". Which of course is why regular disagreers with Mr H invariably become so jaundiced in their replies.

Slagging off?

Your comical self opinion and refusal to face reality are for me merely a source of entertainment and amusement.

Usual crap

Thank you for your ill-informed opinion

.............you are pre-programmed to accept what you are told without question.

The paranoia shows through when you make stupid statements like that.

I have to admit I do find it difficult to actually find what some one who is paranoid, seems to think I should find!

What a load of self opinionated rubbish!

What a prick!

YOU have no intelligence and prove it every time you post

That's just a selection from the past few pages of this thread. You could fill a great many more pages with examples of Mr Hood's slagging offs. Hypocritical?

...............derision of sources and authors and constant unfounded and unsubstantiated criticism.........

RH often proudly proclaims that you can only get "the truth" from "Independent" sources but never answers pertinent questions about them (similar to his ignoring the repeated pertinent one about his 100% Russian record). These hallowed sites are all virtually identical. They're full of left-wing authors espousing the same material as RH. Radically anti-west, most notably anti-US. You can search as much as you want through any of them but I doubt you'd have any better luck than I have in finding a single item critical of Russia/Iran/North Korea/Hamas/Hezbollah, fill in de blanks.

Let me get this straight then. These are places you go to find "the truth" but all the myriad of news sources throughout the West are pulling the wool over your eyes? What credibility can you attach to such sites and articles? When criticisms of authors are posted they're dismissed as "unsubstantiated" (just like "unapproved" articles), even those originating from the likes of Wikipedia. The real truth is RH goes to these opinion shops to find ones that suit his agenda and like alcoholics and expats he wants you to join him.

I do not deny that although British I do have a lot of respect for both Putin and Assad, as do their respective populations.

RH doesn't just respect, he oft appears to virtually worship them. His posts praise Putin's omnipotence. It's sometimes barf inducing. Don't you think there might perhaps be just one or two Syrians who feel something a bit different than "respect" for Bahshir Assad? Or, are those types all terrorists? Do you think all the Russians setting in Limassol are here holidaying, for the sun and sand? Young people in particular are flooding out of the place. BTW, don't you say somewhere else in here about your not being British? That's always been my view. Your usual output gives the distinct impression that you loathe the place and would enjoy nothing better than to see somebody like Putin give them a good hiding.

But, if you follow the more credible independent news sites............

Previously covered. Your favoured few sources of material are highly prejudiced, anti-western, far left-wing, bespoke opinion shops - with the credibility of the Flat Earth Society.

Why do you think ‘They’ are now censoring the information available on the Internet? Because people are beginning to ..... as RT says ..... ‘Question More’

And I'm the paranoid one?

[Londonrake]

Pyrpo. I don't regard you as some sort of neutral referee. You have your own opinions, as do we all, which you've made plain enough in the posts I've looked through.

I don't want to kick over the ashes and start off another load of minutia of timeline posts but if, despite everything that happened and came out, you're still of the opinion that the Skripal affair was some sort of vast and incredibly complex western conspiracy, cleverly cooked up to make the poor Russians look bad, then you're beyond convincing. Certainly by a poor, robotic victim of MSM propaganda like me
