Site Admin.
Having not been able to look in here for a little while, I have to ask this question.
Almost every post is written by 3 or 4 people and pushes a US bias. Anybody who posts a question or expresses and opinion, is immediately howled down if that question or opinion is not pro USA. Not quite what one would expect from the site banner.
Surely there could be some moderation here to correct the domination of the forum by the resident "mafioso".
New contributions need to be encouraged. This is not happening at present. |

That's also exactly my opinion.
I hope you don't consider me like being a member of this "mafia" you are talking about... |

You have expressed some intelligent and independent opinions, like me however, you have sometimes succumbed to the idiocy that has been flaunted here ad nauseum for so long . |

How much can you discuss about Russia that nobody hasn't mentioned before in this forum?
I have seen alot of forums and they have a irrelevant thread or a anything goes thread.
Politics is always being debated in the talklounge, so how can you get around this without involving the US.? |

I hate posts like this one. If you are SO willing to talk about Russia then make some contribution. I saw none of your input about it yet your are not satisfied with what is going on.
Russia is being discussed here, but you can say only so much about it. Plus, the only place people talk about the US and the world's affairs is in the Talk Lounge.
So, I do not know where you are coming from, but nikir you are wrong this time.
Plus, nikir, you are one of the most foul-mouthed contributors anyway, so you need to just be quiet if you do not like it. |

I thought that we were only allowed to praise America. If we don't, the secret agent from Ca would arrange a covert bombing mission on our position.  |

thought you all were big boys...certainly everyone of you dishes out the hate America rhetoric...well I was discussing this issue yesterday with a moderator via phone...and I know who the certain people are who are to perhaps be banned...so keep whining...but the hate speech you all project has been noted...and most comments by me or the other Americans is always in reaction to lameness of a few. It will be good riddance when some of you go.
Now then I just picked up a recent issue of Russian life magazine and it was good to see a picture of a good friend of mine in it...the world is a small place. |

USA Bias...NIkir how can the site be bias when you project your ill will here...kind of the pot calling the kettle black. If you do not like or have anything to contribute then perhaps visit the other threads. You have come accross as one of the most offensive individuals on this site...and you seem to always start the hate. Like this post for instance...grow up
Oh but yes RUSSIA is very relevant here...after all it did bring us all to this site...of which I have in fact used the services sold here |

| Nikir, I completely agree. But what do you think should be done? Banning seems heavy-handed to me... |

Actually, this is the post of nonsense. Nikir has posted many, many useful bits of info about Russia, travel tips, etc etc. You are a troublemaker. I appreciate the info that Nikir has contributed. You,and Surfguy, on the other hand, contribute nothing but pro American nonsense, which, frankly, serves no useful purpose than to make the world despise America even more than they do now. Your arrogance, and holier than thou attitudes are not required, nor encouraged.
I've tried to say things like this, but to no avail. Perhaps Nikir will have better luck. |

Please name these 3 or 4 people, because this sure seems like a lie to me. The only people I can think of who push the U.S. the most are Surfguy and Vitalsigns, and even then Surfguy just hates what he considers baseless bashing. I am surprised that you of all people would have the nerve to complain about relevance considering you've relished every opportunity to put people down. This is WayToRussia, not WayToBashPeople. |

BCbud you should be more considerate. You have negatively contributed to this forum from the day one. Do you think I do not remember. You are doing the same thing up until today.
What mostly ticks me off is you, when you feel like you may get in trouble for your share of non-relevancy on this forum, begin to post these nice Russia-related posts everywhere. C'mon, I see that. On top of it, you play blame-games pointing fingers at others, and I will not be surprised if you PM the mods secretly trying to make everyone else you do not like look bad in their eyes. |

First of, the US related discussions go only in the Talk Lounge, why would anyone have a problem with that?
Go there and talk about Australia or China, I will have no problem with that whatsoever. Tell me, why is it a problem to anyone that I or someone else talk about the US? |
