Really, CC4, it might be time to stand up again. Certainly, I do anticipate censorship on this one, and I can’t wait to see how it feels. Give it to me…

Censor what?

Maybe you should stop feeding the trolls. Getting into name calling matches is pointless

Well, yeah there is that, though, don’t call me a one trick pony, the bitch slapping will begin.

Don’t pretend a moral and intellectually superiority when it’s obvious from one’s own words they don’t really understand their topic.

It’s shame there isn’t more interesting discussion to be had.

It’s also a shame these trolls always turn out to be pure troll, rather than surprising us with something insightful and meaningful. The way I see it, I was trying to offer bridges for communication, but the troll was simply trolling.

They read like challenges to me. A good way elicit an emotional response.

A challenge is still a simple challenge. Sure, my patience is running low and I get suckered into emotional response tit for tat - but you’ll not fine me stoop this low

I did not realize that cc4 does not have moderation rights here. Somehow I got the gist that he did.
I’m a newb. So that’s how far you let people go… possibly you are special, cc4. Sort of like Lebed…

! "JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A prominent
leader of the Organization of Ukrainian
Nationalists (OUN) living in Yonkers,
N.Y., has been accused by The Village
Voice of being a Nazi collaborator.
The naming of Mykola Lebed, 75, as
a Nazi collaborator, arose with the
release of a 1985 GAO report in which
the former OUN leader, identified only
as “Subject D, " is described as “a certain
high-ranking Nazi collaborator, an
alleged war criminal,” The Voice reported.
The newspaper alleges that Mr.
Lebed, who is now retired, was let into
t h e Unite d State s because he was
considered “an extremely valuable
intelligence asset” by the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA)”https://www.ukrweekly.com/archive/1986/The_Ukrainian_Weekly_1986-06.pdf

This is the sort of thing that you can really get behind, right? Or bend over for?
I am amazed at the level of information availability that we have which confronts the programmed positions. As I struggle with the problem of the programmable human; the propagandized versus the propagandist; the one crux that has to be clung to is a pledge to seek the truth, and I do believe that in that pledge there is a corollary which positions wee humans as merely having beliefs, which means that our certainty on matters will always deserve an open stance. Of course, that open stance is a defensive one rather than a receptive one. As they say in prison: keep your soap on a rope. The proof is in the pudding. Ooh, this is getting messy… Really, CC4, it might be time to stand up again. Certainly, I do anticipate censorship on this one, and I can’t wait to see how it feels. Give it to me… Thanks CC4 for all that you take.
