I very sincerely and respectfully disagree. foldr’s comments here are very out of line. They are seeded comments copy/pasting the same smearing of Craig Murray’s alleged bias on every post about the Assange hearing.

It’s unconscionable to me that you would think the guidelines rule out my comment but wouldn’t find deep, inarguable cause for more concern over foldr’s comments.

I cannot see any way the account age or comment history bears relevance. Being a commonly-seen community member for years, then suddenly deciding to spam smear comments about Craig Murray’s alleged bias on posts about the Assange hearing still is quite flagrant.

Brief factual note: none of my recent comments mentions Craig Murray or says that he has a bias. Some other posters did this. I've been posting about Assange for many years, but this will be my last word on him as I am no longer allowed to go there.

I wish you'd just talk to me if you really think there is something sinister behind my posts, as you seem like a sincere person. It's actually quite hurtful to be accused of such things, regardless of how annoying or wrong I might be. Contact details temporarily on my profile.

There are two separate issues:

1. Posting repetitively on flamewar topics is against the site guidelines.

2, Accusing other users of astroturfing is against the site guidelines.

foldr did #1. You did #2. You both broke the site guidelines so I replied to both of you.
