Bellingcat? Really? You know they're a cutout for the western spy agencies and can't be trusted ever. They get debunked on the regular. The guy that supposedly runs it says he got his training playing video games!

I noticed and admired how thoroughly you addressed the actual content of the GP comment you replied to, in stead of just going ad hominem.

[pacifist]

He is citing Bellingcat - an outfit that has been thoroughly discredited and who's only use is as a cutout for spy agencies to spread their lies. Not ad hominem. Just facts. Here is the definition in case you were wondering:

ad hominem: adj. Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument. adj. Appealing to the emotions rather than to logic or reason. n. To the man; to the interests or passions of the person.

Thank you so much for that.

Can I supply you with some definitions of commonly used terms that I unilaterally decide you don't know, or would you feel that was condescending?

[pacifist]

Oh, you were condescending from the start. So yeah, no need. don't expect another reply. It's been a real joy interacting with you.

[CRConrad]

No, I was being sarcastic. Look it up in your dictionary. (No need to post what you find.)
