  1. Would see? Certainly not, maybe only suspect... And nothing, of course, about the fact that it was you who unsolicitedly brought the 'off topic' subject😁 of a poll, a subject that you called "arbitrary claptrap" when I followed up. Not to mention other evasions...
  2. The more was arbitrary claptrap as there will be no election , as ordered by Z. 1. Missing are your apologies for putting words in my mouth - about what I was allegedly implying. 2. My "arbitrary claptrap" was a comment to your claims about poll results in case of - purely hypothetical - elections. 3. It was not Zelensky who ordered "no-elections". But you have no means of knowing it, because facts ("intricacies") are not your thing. This explains that. This does not make it so. Even Putin repeating it incessantly doesn't make it so.
  3. I wasn't implying that you were implying this. Besides, there was a lot more in my comment...
  4. Thank you for the Wiki link. My numbers are from a popularity/trust poll by the KIIS Institute "conducted during the period of Zaluzhnyi’s dismissal saga: from Feb. 5 to 10". Quote: "for the period of Feb. 5-10, 64% trusted Mr. Zelenskyy, but at the end of this period, the figure was 60%" [these were the numbers of which I said they are more than twice as big as yours (23.7%)] OTOH, the poll you are quoting, by SOCIS, conducted between February 22 to March 1, is a quite different one - it is a much broader one, including for (simulated) presidential elections. Your number - 23.7% - measures the distribution of votes for the first round of presidential elections with 10+ candidates. No, there is no way to hold any kind of elections during war/martial law. For details see Martial law in Ukraine. Besides, the respective legislation was adopted long before Zelensky became president.😁 The SOCIS poll shows that about 66% are against holding presidential elections during this war. According to the KIIS poll, "only 15% of respondents believe a presidential election should go forward".
  5. This does not follow. Yes, this does follow. Can you please post the link? And verify the Wiki's references for this number? I found recent poll numbers which are more than double of yours. I found your number - 23.7% - in these somewhat peculiar publications : Sputnik Afrique, TASS, Iran Front Page, RT International. Off topic.
  6. A wikipedia entry shows a current poll with ... I am still waiting for a response to my second question - "what does follow from the poll?"
  7. Yes, how is he and what follows from it?
  8. I hope it only sounds like BS, but I am not so sure, and this is very troubling for this OO forum...
  9. I don't know if I want to try to run an open forum, because [...] 😁My remark above was not an invitation for you to open a forum.😁 Rather, it was to make a point of principle.
  10. You are free to create such a forum, but you cannot expect that a given forum owner, for example of this one, will tolerate on his premises the broadcasting of views he abhors. Or tolerate irrational behavior in a debate, for example when a person refuses to justify his claims, the concept of evidence-based debate etc. This requirement will stop nothing: any idea may be found to have something to do with Objectivism😁 I am not proposing to initiate force against anyone. Not sure what you mean... In any case: force is not the only form of harm.
  11. A forum is a space for discussions/debates. What you are describing is an unmoderated forum (= zero control over content). The owner defines what, who and how. It is not "pretty much true by definition" that a forum is unmoderated. My understanding is that @Boydstun described various choices as to how to moderate a forum, not choices as to how to exercise one's free speech. One does not have an a priori freedom of speech on a private forum. It is implicit in the attributes of private property. The non-owners are guest and are subjected to the rules of the house. Harmed is that owner who does not want his property to be used in ways he does not desire, for example to spread ideas he hates.
  12. Are you among them? Not in the thread "Remembering the CG Computer-Generated Pandemic Tyranny". Then keep this in mind !
  13. You @EC unexpectedly closed the thread "Remembering the CG Computer-Generated Pandemic Tyranny" and did not provide a reason. I was waiting for an important answer from @monart... Some more transparency would be welcomed...
