As claimed above, Ronaldo9 is posting like a provocateur and is likely foreign. He/she showed his hand in another thread he started on Greekchat entitled, "President Trump Expected to Make Swift Recovery from COVID-19." In that thread, he/she gave himself away by using phrases that an American would never use. For example:

"* * * he bravely stood in harm's way to lead the country even at risk to himself. All obeisance is owed the President.

Thankfully, * * * and the President remains firmly in control of all the levers of government.* * * recover as quickly and brilliantly as many other great, conservative world leaders who have had this, like President Bolsanaro.

While it is now appropriate to suspend next month's election, * * *"

How many Americans do you know that talk that way? The British spellings mentioned above are another tip off.

Ronaldo9 joined Sept 2020. He has also admitted that English is his second language, likely to obfuscate possible grammatical errors, though I think he/she writes pretty well - but he/she does not write like an American. Also, Ronaldo9 seems to devote in inordinate amount of time to posting, which makes me think that his job is to sit in front of a computer all day and type out the rhetoric he posts here. (Parts of some posts also seemed canned.)

In addition, Ronaldo9's original posting of "President Trump Expected to Make Swift Recovery from COVID-19" was made made at 8:20 am Greenwich Mean Time, meaning the post was started at 1:20 am (pac); 2:20 am (mt); 3:30 am (cen); 4:20 am (east); and 11:20 am Eastern European Time. Get my point.

Like FaceBook and Twitter, the Greek Chat moderators should beware.

In any event, all this political talk needs to be stopped.
