u/EddieC responded in chat:

05:19 EddieC This does not make any sense

05:21 EddieC 1) What previous ban? I have been posting on this account since Jan 2022 - have never been banned

05:23 EddieC 2) Upvoting myself? When? Where? Why? You can see the # of votes I get on my posts/comments - hardly any

05:25 EddieC 3) Smear campaign? What smear campaign have I been involved in/ Is making suggestions and following up when there is no response = a smear campaign?

05:26 EddieC Is polling the SaidIt commmunity whether they are willing to chip in $ to help solve the cloudflare issue a smear campaign?

US tank is a "trophy", hit and captured by Russians.... by In-the-clouds in news

[–]neolib 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't understand why this is somehow surprising, documented tank losses are enormous on both sides:

Russia

Tanks (2948, of which destroyed: 1970, damaged: 154, abandoned: 310, captured: 514)

https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html

Ukraine

Tanks (797, of which destroyed: 539, damaged: 68, abandoned: 59, captured: 131)

https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-ukrainian.html

Some people are arguing tanks are much less useful in the age of FPV drones which cost orders of magnitude less (like a thousand of drones can be bought at the price of one tank).

Canadian police have charged three members of an alleged hit team for their role in the assassination of the Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the first arrests in a high-profile killing which officials believe was masterminded by India.

Steven Pinker on "Gender": "a grammatical distinction among categories of nouns ... grammatical term was co-opted to refer to the conceptual distinction between M & F because the English word "sex" also refers to copulation, and writers & speakers wanted to be clear they weren't referring to *that*"

I think YouTube is not blocked by political decision because it's too popular, videos are blocked only if YouTube itself geoblocks them for Russia (Russian censors can't block individual URLs on HTTPS websites, the whole website or nothing).

Every person who works physically sells their body for money, it's usually only for religious people it makes a difference when person allows to use their body for sexual purposes.

I thought you were not a moralist as you were arguing against religion in another thread? And now you sound as if "whores" are somehow lesser people, who should not be trusted even when they testify under oath.
