> I guess this means you lost. How, exactly? And what is that you're saying signifies that I have "lost"? That yet another random HN poster (@guelo in this case) intentionally mischaracterized hard facts - the fact that all of the people indicted were Russian citizens, and that Russia does not extradite its citizens - as "unsubstantiated conspiracy theory propaganda" hardly surprises me, but it in no way makes me "lose". Such is the nature of HN these days, and it saddens me to see this place devolve into this. Many of the people here dismiss or ignore cold, hard facts when those facts are not favorable to their side in almost every comment thread on HN. @Guelo is the offender this time, but there are countless others. Facts cannot be argued with, and so in this case, he simply dismissed them because he didn't like those facts. It's wrong that people choose to do this, and that is the crux of the message on my profile page that you quoted, but they do it all the time and I will point it out whenever I see it. Your comment is even more bizarre to me. You essentially said "You got schooled!" when someone said that the facts I presented were unsubstantiated propaganda, even though they are simply undeniable facts. He presented no argument to support his comment, such as proof of some sort of new extradition treaty that would allow for Russian spies in Russia to be extradited to the US. That would certainly make me "lose" this argument, and I would be happy to concede at that point. Short of that, I can't see that I have "lost" anything based on his comment. You essentially jumped a on a bandwagon where there was no wagon - but rather just a band, making meaningless noises.
