There is difference between beliefs, often created by meadia and news, and witnesses. As Ukrainian, I'm a more authoritative source of information about Ukraine and Ukrainians than other people. When I will see beliefs about me posted by people who never visited Ukraine and formed by Russian state TV, I will post my witness. These posts are not equal. My witness can be used in court, while Russian disbelief cannot.
For example, the majority of HN'ers thinks or thought that «dang» is Chinese name, while very few know that «dang» means «dan g». However, the majority is not an authoritative source of information.
I'm lieutenant of Ukrainian army. Your ban is least of my concern. Russians can ban me forever. HN works well over EDGE, so I can read it more easily than other sites.
It's hard to write thoughtful comments for me right now, because I left my personal notebook at home, with all links and documents, because my internet connection doesn't allow me to browse internet freely, because HN may say that I'm posting too fast after writing long and thoughtful comment.
You are not providing us with tools to fight propaganda, disinformation, and beliefs. I need something like a court system, where everybody can lay out all facts, and then they are accepted or discarded by judges. Otherwise, I'm forced to repeat my comments again and again. Create and iCourt for me, and we will use it instead of your site.
