To delete other people's comments without answering them with reasonable arguments is wrong. Please stop deleting other people's posts. This page should be about free democratic, intelligent discussion. Make your argument, if you have one. If not, then stop violating this Talk page.

If you make unreasonable comments it is certainly not wrong to remove them. You have been told over and over that your posts here need to be on the subject of RT, yet none of them have been.TiB chat 12:25, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

>Mr Trappedinburnley, thank you for your kind comments. Contrary to your assertions, Sir, my comments have been directly related to RT. The problem is that some unknown users, including you Sir, have deleted them instead of answering them. Do you not have the intellectual courage to answer me instead of deleting my posts like a... like a 知的弱虫 (intellectual weakling)? Address yourself to my points, Sir. I tire of repeating them 'over and over.' Gunnermanz (talk) 16:13, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, I am at the point of blocking you per WP:NOTTHERE. Your last possibly useful contribution to Wikipedia was in 2016, and since then you only create disruption. I hatted the comments (not removed them) because they do not belong to this page.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I checked that you have previously been blocked for this behavior but have chosen not to change it, therefore I have blocked indef.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can this statement from the lead be improved? It sounds like the news reporters are spreading disinformation, while the point here is that it was accused by its own reporters of spreading disinformation.

"RT has also been accused of spreading disinformation by news reporters, including some former RT reporters."

The only disinformation being spread is being done by the likes of you. This is bog-standard anti-Russian propaganda, which like Russiagate has no genuine substance. The atlantic council is a NATO funded organisation. Not providing unbiased and objective opinion. John2o2o2o (talk) 12:43, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
