If you post publicly some material I have right to address it.

"I also told you that I don't want to speak to you again."

So do not speak to me. Nobody is forcing you.

I told you not to ping me either.

Ivan

[A. Pole]

I told you not to ping me either.

I did not ping you. I responded to the article you posted. And who are you to give me orders?

Maybe you should turn your attention to the topic being discussed and leave me alone? Angry tantrums are not healthy. Please, try to find some rational arguments and abstain from personal attacks.

[PeterFinn]

technically you could say Russia used a nuclear weapon against a person on British soil.

Let's not say that, okay? That would invoke a US response via NATO on our NBC policy. Meaning it would get very warm in Moscow. Very warm.

Look, I made it clear to you that I think you're an utter kook and a traitor who makes this site looks disreputable. What in God's name possessed you to think I'd have any interest in anything you have to say?

In terms of leaving you alone, oi, mate - I didn't ask you to post on this thread, I made it clear I don't want to hear from you - you're the one who insisted that you had to poke your snout into this particular trough.

Please refrain from personal insults.

Obviously, President Bush needs to consult an optometrist qualified in the art of correcting defective "soul vision".

You have been told not to post to MadIvan. Knock it off!

Akhmed Zakayev Foreign Minister of the Chechen government in exile, he is accused by Russia of terrorist attacks. Mr Zakayev, 50, lived next door to Litvinenko and saw him hours before he fell ill

Bump

As I understand Russians want the same standard to be applied to them as to the West.

Well, then, they need to hop to it on the prerequisite demonstration of civilized behavior.

[Cheburashka]

I wonder what part of "Go to hell" the Russians don't understand. This behaviour is outrageous.

Ivan, they understand "Go to hell" perfectly. They've just said it to The UK.

[MadIvan]

My reply is not repeatable in polite company. As you might imagine, I'm not crazy that the Polonium 210 Hotel is less than 50 miles up the road from me.

He is posting to me and insulting me. I was defending myself in a polite manner. I am just interested in the article. I would post it myself, but it would create the duplicate.

Also shouldn't his insults to be removed too if my defense was removed?

[A. Pole]

Well, then, they need to hop to it on the prerequisite demonstration of civilized behavior.

Who would have the position of the judge if Russians had to prove their innocence?

[Lead Moderator]

I'm not going to warn you again.

I can understand your anger.

I certainly don't think the UK should agree to this. And it won't.

I don't know if the two men should have been given asylum in the United Kingdom, but having given asylum knuckling under to this sort of ploy is not an option for the British government.

[GVnana]

Agreed. Britain has every right to complete justice in this matter. Russians poisoned London.
