Neither in my old journal nor in this one have I ever deleted someone “for something.” Yesterday I deleted mikas_murashev. Since he is now writing some kind of degenerate posts, let me explain. I am completely fine with anyone who criticizes our debates. No problem. The only thing everyone likes is hundred-dollar bills. I understand the liberal screeching of “don’t invite fascists” (I’ll write about that separately). But to consider yourself a comrade from a friendly organization and then call for a boycott of the debates— that’s called being a fucking scumbag. And stupid. 1. It’s simply not a decent thing to do, because he knows these debates matter to us, and organizing them is difficult, exhausting, and nerve-racking. 2. At one point these debates were on the verge of collapsing altogether: half the people were afraid to come because they feared fights, and the other half trashed us over the choice of participants. In general, there was less discussion beforehand than usual. 3. Everyone knew that Kuryanovich’s people were putting together a support team. That is completely normal. And Nosik also invited his supporters. But unlike the patriots, they are not organized. So the “boycott” really could have left dolboeb without support. I absolutely do not care who wins the debate. But I will not be happy if the whole hall is for one side and the second guest gets hounded. Fortunately, the debates went excellently. They may even have been among the most successful ones. But still. So Mikas was deleted for being a fucking scumbag and an idiot. We draw conclusions from people’s behavior. I don’t know why everything came out in blue. Some kind of glitch. There is no intended meaning in that.
