Way to Russia Talk Lounge

What is the purpose of this forum?

To talk about Russia and the FSU or to talk about Winston?

Winston, Winston, Winston. Is that all some of you can think about?

Is that the total sum of your intelligence or lack thereof?

Common people I counted at least 6 different Winston bashing topics. This BS needs to stop.

It is one thing to chastise him for the wrong things he has done, but this is getting to be ridiculous.

Mark,
Look back at your history of posts - you have made a lot of posts about Winston, good or bad he created enough interest/controversy for you to post at least a dozen. I admit i think it is going on a bit now, buts its a free forum and they have as much right to Winston bash as you have to post multi page political commentary.

The purpose of this forum is to express one's views, to learn, to help other's with our own experience, to ask question's, in hope's of creating a cross cultural understanding, etc. I have learned many things from all post, even Winston (even as much as I distain him). Since Winston continues to post his crap other's on this board should have the right to be critical of him. I agree with both MTB, and Mark, it is going on a bit long. But I wouldn't suggest to anyone to stop. I have also been a big critic of Winston, but now I just don't reply. I think Winston is enjoying the criticizm myself, or he would have quit posting long ago.

Agreed with Randy

I've been critical of Winston too. But how many times can you bash someone for somethin they have said in the past or even in the present?

Notice how Winston isn't even trying to defend himself anymore? In the past he would have responded to everyone's comments.

I don't need to comment anymore. And the commensts I have seen are just a re-hash.

This is supposed to be

WayToRussia.Net Talk Lounge

How does bashing Wintson get us any closer to learning about Russia?

From now on all topics that contain nothing except discussion of winston are gonna be locked or deleted.
by the way, this topic becomes one of such type
There is no sense in bashing one person day by day.. Especially considering that, as Mark said, such actions and topics have nothing in common with the forum's purpose.

Did I name you? NO
No I am talking about that 104 postings about Bush and Bush Vs Stalin. Who looks better in a Thong? Stalin or Bush. Which I agreed with Brendal that someone should set up another forum for these postings.
You have been on this rampage all day.
If you an issue with my postings then PM me, if you want you a piss match on this forum, post another accusing comment to me and prepared to be flamed. Understand? Evil or Very Mad

I haven't noticed some people starting or attempting to start a topic with any moral or signifivcant value. They seem to just want to criticize or insult people.

The whole point is, you int the one to judge what is 'moral' or 'significant'. If people respond, then they obviously are interested. Get it? Now get off ye high horse and stop crying and start contributing for a change.[/quote]

Uday: i am a newbie to this forum, and have not read all your previous posts, but i fully agree with what you said above. May i add that for those who are 'disgusted' or had enough, or whatever with W Wu's postings, that they just do NOT respond to his postings. Is it so very difficult to NOT respond to a posting or postings from a poster that you do not like or find repulsive? If you cannot do so, it says a lot more about you :-)

Same question over and over again.

Why should we ignore someone who is violating the rules which agreed upon?
Why the majority of posters who are abiding by the rules have ignore him?
Tell you what. While you are eating at the table, I will vomit next to you. Just ignore me. Why should you have ignore me?
Winston was warned about his conduct and he read the rules. He could easily adjust his posts and put links to other website where he posts are unedited. But no, he posted his debate with Jack the Marriage agent and the more about his sex life. People got feed up and voted to ban him. You may like Enimem, but you cannot force everyone to here him.

Well, wwu is just doing it to get a reaction... if you don't give it to him, he'll go away as do any other troll.

The thing is, I personally would enjoy reading about his purported imaginary sexual exploits if only he'd shorten his essays down by like 90% or so.
