his intention was to be insulting on a personal level and to engage in name calling. he wanted me to be offended purely because he didn't like my opinion, and he wanted to basically punish me for having an opinion he didn't agree with by trying to make me feel bad with his hostility and negativity.
it does not matter if he said "you are a retard". repeatedly calling someone's "take" retarded has the same effect and is guided by the same malicious/hostile motive. He also had an extremely mild point to make which did not remotely justify his extreme language, so it was just a pretext to wrap his hostility around.
Sorry, I'm one of those 'Putin shills' you love to complain about so I thought the name calling was just how you liked to engage with people, though I will admit that you tend to just call everyone names and not specific people. I'll be more sensitive of your precious feelings in the future ... ignoring all of the mud slinging I see you engaging with in other parts of the thread.

Need I go on, precious? I'm sure they all deserved it.
And even though I generally like you, your take was still retarded.
I can call your point retarded without being insulting on a personal level. At times, I do think you have had retarded takes, but rarely. Calling me an FSB contractor is on that level, but I don't hold it against you because I still judge people by the overall value of their contributions.
That is not punishment. That is just criticism.
So then you are both in the wrong.
So if you want to get specific, my statements were along the lines of "your takes are consistent with your being an FSB contractor, not a person thinking for yourself". I don't know if you are an FSB contractor, I can only have suspicions which are rooted in comparing your positions to those of a hypothetical government agent vs to a hypothetical independent person who happens to be pro-Russia for other reasons.
And I don't say it out of anger, I said it because it was an honest suspicion triggered by certain things you said and positions you took. I think a fan boy who wants russia to win because he hates globohomo is different from what an actual contractor would push.
Wait, so you don't like it when someone calls your points retarded, which is in no way a personal attack on you, but this barely veiled attack on someone is somehow OK?
When it comes to Russia, you do have a paranoid streak. Nord Stream 2 and all that, when you were absolutely sure that it was an inside job when Russia can just shut down the pipeline. Or the attack on Azov POWs.
Hence my surprise at your earlier comment.
If an FSB contractor has nothing better to do than argue on a forum with 30 people, then I can imagine why things went not as planned.
Russia 100% murdered them, and there is clear evidence of it from numerous sources. There was never any HIMARS strike on that building. Numerous eyewitness accounts state that Russia moved all their "Azov" inmates to a building rigged with incendiaries then set them off to murder the POWs. Russian video of the aftermath is 100% consistent with setting the place on fire, as opposed to a HIMARS strike which would have blown a small hole in the roof and not torched the whole place. Remember "potholes"? HIMARS warheads are pretty small.
No, I was not "absolutely sure" but I think it is more likely that Russia did it to themselves. There are a number of reasons why they would do it, such as to play the victim, to justify escalation, for Putin to shore up internal support, etc. The alternative explanation is that the US/UK did it, which I simply don't believe because those governments don't operate that way, and if they did it, it would cause a rift between those governments and Germany, which might have been the Russian goal. Since Germany has not gotten mad about it, that shows that German intelligence thinks it was the Russians, too.
Russia, as a state, is run as a scheming KGB entity since Putin is dictator and his whole background is KGB. They do weird and shady shit all the time, far moreso than other countries, even China. They also don't fool anyone, but the Russians don't even care, and keep doing it anyway. Probably because it still works for domestic consumption.
Investigative stories of Russian bot farms and contractor farms showed that they were more for quantity than quality. It was more about getting your quota of comments and posts out than actually trying to farm maximum "karma" in reddit terms. Democrat propaganda on reddit for example is way more sophisticated, though of course they are working with an extremely compliant user base that is easily manipulated.
