Remaining silent or expressing a neutral position doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of intellect, but cowardice – absolutely. It's very convenient to consider open positions as a sign of stupidity. An intellectual without a flag or emblem is meaningless.

Remaining silent or expressing a neutral position doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of intellect, but being a coward certainly does. It's very convenient to consider openly expressed opinions as a sign of stupidity. An intellectual without a flag or emblem is just an empty shell.

There seems to be a fundamental problem with perception. It's all about making assumptions, twisting things, and making illogical comparisons.
Where did I call anyone stupid? We were talking about beliefs. Even when someone doesn't have any, imposing them into a dialogue and pretending to be intelligent is absurd. Mocking someone else's beliefs is not intelligence. And displaying a flag and emblem is a completely different matter. And in this case, intelligence is generally not required.

If you're asked for your opinion and you remain silent, you're a coward. But when there's a discussion that can perfectly well take place without you and doesn't affect your interests, why interfere? Draw your own conclusions or don't read it.

Just to reiterate, I simply asked to remove the word "please" even from the background mode. I had no idea that it would uncover so many issues and escalate into an argument. I even wrote that I didn't care anymore. But no, arguing is not my thing; it's yours.)

Thoughts regarding the "I would like to register for the tournament" button. I don't understand why it says "I would like" instead of "I want to register for the tournament." I understand the Soviet-era logic of subservience to authority, which has become a habit, where every statement needs to start with the word "I would like," but I don't understand why it's necessary here too?

Piterius

As far as I know, the person who created everything advocates for a world outside of politics. So, the question about a redesign is quite logical. Put it on the plan.

Just to reiterate, I only asked to remove the word "I would like" even from the background mode.

Great Piterius "asked to remove the word 'I would like'," is this a typo? Although, most likely, he was just tired of writing. In your posts, there was no request, but a command - "put it on the plan."

So, right away, he asks the Creator. We all go to the Creator here on the forum.

+ regarding the "lucky наркоман" thing. He called me that many times, and it turns out it's a reflection of his own consciousness... :D

And some people called me an idiot.
But now it turns out what the real problem was.

Missing the old "good" theme, we discuss everything seriously...) as a result, sometimes such pages appear at the end.

It lacks the old "good" theme; we discuss everything seriously... as a result, such things sometimes break through on the last pages.

It has no meaning. Now, all such discussions boil down to harsh mutual insults and accusations. The level of tension is very high and continues to increase every day, as the instigators are working diligently. In fact, it is already impossible for either side to prove anything. It's a dead end.

Well, I wouldn't say that. Overall, we communicated normally, and who could we possibly offend? An icon with a cute boy and a sword?)) You yourself wrote that such reactions are primarily a reflection of oneself (or at least that's how I understood it), and I completely agree.
And just in case, I declare that I don't have any negative feelings towards Piterius. Moreover, I confirm that I have repeatedly heard reasonable and, most importantly, well-founded opinions from him. As well as not-so-good ones.
Besides, enough time has passed since the political discussions, and it would be interesting to see the current mood and compare the predictions with reality.
I understand that there are special platforms for this, but here, the icons are familiar.

Probably, he wanted to write about a zugzwang. :)

So, I didn't want to get involved in the topic for a long time, while philosophical or philological discussions were going on about registering for the tournament. But everything has simply devolved into politics, which means it's time to wrap it up, and perhaps even hand out a couple of bans to the restless ones. :confused:

Dude, Petya, aren't we supposed to be allies? I’ll write “idiot” on your forehead with permanent marker if you keep talking nonsense.
P.S. Regarding the topic at hand, it all sounds really cool! +++

Hold on. Let's take a step back. Nico, let me remind you that these guys from Russia have taken 20% of your country's territory. And they boast about it, especially people like Merlin. They say you have some kind of internal conflict. Think about it ten times before you proceed. I remember the attitude towards Russians in Batumi. Or do you have your own cunning plan?

Are there no moderators left? Or is it now acceptable to engage in inciting ethnic hatred and making direct personal insults in one paragraph? Especially towards characters who, historically, have never had a state other than the Russian one. Kyiv is the mother of Russian cities, an originally Russian city and territory of the Russian Empire. And the Dnieper is the same: "In the decree of Catherine II dated January 22, 1784, it says: 'The provincial city called Yekaterinoslav should be located, for greater convenience, on the right bank of the Dnieper River near Kaidak…'". So, who took what from whom?))
