Well it wouldn't really, would it? The internet is so vast that I doubt whether a few people posing as "normal" internet users will make much difference. .

I've also just read how you dislike the "black-painting" of Russia on this site. In my opinion, you should distinguish between criticism of certain aspects of Russia - and specifically a small, corrupt group of people in power - and the country itself. Personally I deplore what's happening to Russia at the moment precisely because I respect her people and culture and history.

I would much rather be a member of a forum where there are lively disagreements, than read endlessly polite platitudes: спор между форумчанами до добра доведет!

There should be no censorship here at all. Frankly, I find it "detskii sad".
