I wish I could downvote you but I don't have enough karma. Calling all Russians "communist f*ckers" is weak sauce. There are plenty of people in Russia who hate communism and who are against current situation.

"RUSI GO HOME" is a common term, especially in Eastern Europe. This phrase is directed towards occupant Russian military and politics. I, myself, have Russian friends and relatives, who are against commies, Putin and all that shit that is happening in Russia. Sorry, that you understood it that way... Probably, I could have put it in more diplomatic language, but I get angry when I see similar pro-Putin propaganda shit and from suspicious account...

  > Probably, I could have put it in more diplomatic language Probably you could have used more diplomatic language than "communist faggots"? That doesn't go nearly far enough. Such a comment has zero place on Hacker News. Fortunately, users flagged it. The values of this community are intellectual substance and personal civility. That comment violated both of them badly. Please don't do that. I know it takes work, but it's work that we all need to do, and there's nothing more important to this site.

      This reply does not seem much in the spirit of what I wrote. Every sentence you've written here manages to evade the point and/or blame others—except "Agree.", which I'm therefore not feeling sure you do. Please don't break the rules again, regardless of what bad things other people may have done.

        >This reply does not seem much in the spirit of what I wrote Mmm, I guess this is the case when they say it is somewhat hard to communicate with electronic text. Since I'm not native English speaker, it might be dry but in essence I tried to put: 1. Motivation 2. Agreement, even with the presence of Motivation 3. Wish that I could have just flagged without commenting - and the plan of doing so in the future.

        Ok, that makes sense. I agree with you about the perils of communicating online.

I don't see what it has to do with communism, Russia isn't run by communists.
