Eight = 4 x 2:
As we go forward we all recognize that both sides are in a propaganda war and accept that is ongoing. There is no need to get into arguments over which sources are propaganda or not. Each side may provide links to news and each thread participant can decide for themselves what is valuable to them. Proving or disproving what is propaganda is an endless circle game to be avoided.
We need to lower the levels of animosity towards all posters. None of us are leading or participating directly in the combat. Enough harm is being done on the battlefields and in the cities and we do not need to bring additional animosity here. Remember, our focus is on current news related to the war. It is not on pre invasion events, whataboutism, or anyone's personal desire to widen the conversation to include pet peeves and personal interests. We will thread ban those who cannot abide with civility or posting guidelines. These threads move fast enough that posts can be be quickly buried so don't feel the need to respond to every slight or disagreeable thought that is posted. Those too shall pass. Pontificating "truth" without sources is frowned upon. Don't stray in that direction, please.
Keep in mind that the Do not do list includes name calling, especially Nazi in any of of forms or derivatives; bickering over stupid stuff; stay away from racist stereotypes and calling folks orcs; bringing up old pre invasion news and whataboutism. Those will all be considered trolling and get you infracted or thread banned.
Repeated failure to follow the rules and be civil will get you thread banned.
What we want is for this thread to be a source of information for those of any persuasion and meaningful discussion. You are all a great source of both knowledge and information from all over the world. Contribute without rancor or anger.
Please do not copy or quote any posts from the previous thread into this one. Start fresh!
