His comments were that Russia's anti-Turkish sanctions were limited to removing Russian wives of Turks, temporarily, and then bringing them back, and my response was that was nonsense. And so on... that's your usual banter, snark, etc, limited to this thread: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=416035
That's about Russia, the Middle East, Syria, shooting down planes, United States, Kurds, Turkey, and so on. Again, nothing wrong with that, although it was approaching a boiling point.
However, in a completely different thread, on a topic totally unrelated to that, a topic about US, Germany, Russia, and sanctions, (as opposed to actual war,) while completely unprovoked, East Marches II had this to say: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=416301
The East Marches II wrote:Looks like America's sanctions are getting serious. Unlike Ivan and his daughters of the motherland leaving their Turkish husbands, I believe dollars leaving wallets is a good measure.
Sure he tossed out the casual phrases like "America's sanctions" and "dollars leaving wallets" to appear as if he's posting on topic, but he's clearly hoping to flamebait me, across several threads, into yet another pointless discussion, which could evolve into flaming, in a place where that's neither on topic nor welcome. That's classic Flamebaiting. And he knew I'd read that, because I am the OP of said thread.
It's not a secret on NSG that I'm Russian and proud of it. Nor that other posters trolled me on it, and have been warned for it: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=272324 (First two posts)
East Marches II's point makes a pretense addressing the topic, for the sole point of taking a nonsensical discussion into a potentially flaming one, across two threads, which makes it a classic case of Flamebaiting.
