Hello,
Please see the rules of reddthat here: https://reddthat.com/post/9701
No racism or other discrimination No endorsement of hate speech
As such you have broken our rules, specifically being racist. You have remained civil and I thank-you for that. Normally I would have banned the account in question by now, but have decided not too unless others end up reporting your comments, but I see that as unlikely as this has become a worthwhile discussion.
What has your post in the community abandonedporn got to do with this? Nothing. This is an offtopic conversation which you started off with zero context. And text with zero context can be read with a myriad of inflections even when the best intentions are meant.
If you started off saying you knew the area, or lived down the road, that may have some credibility and then tied into your current feelings about the issue then we wouldn’t have had a problem if you said it in a way that acknowledged it was your own opinion. Like how you have now is amazing, I wish all comments were as thoughtful as this. But you chose to originally post in a community that has next to nothing to do with Russia to voice your opinion on your dislike.
Hatred towards any country is not welcome on Reddthat. I understand your feelings and they are worth while.
I look forward to seeing you in a different community, maybe a political community to have a discussion.
Thankyou
Reddthat Admin Team
