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.

I absolutely agree with you on this point.

I haven't been here for long and I completely agree that these political threads need to be shut down. I signed up for GC to reminisce about the good old days and, once in a blue moon, state my opinion. These political threads devolved quickly and became abhorrent in absolutely no time at all.

No politics in the politics forum?

I respectfully disagree. I think it's okay if we discuss politics in the politics forum.

We just need to be cautious about being respectful and kind to each other and not repeatedly dehumanizing people by following them from thread to thread merely to call them names like "goblin", "troll," "witch," "ogre," etc., or trying to delegitimize their perspective by questioning their race or national origin.

For heaven's sake, y'all, this is why I avoid the POLITICAL FORUM! I'm not naive, I just don't like the arguing.

If you don't like the political "discussion" in a Political Forum, don't go there!

TriDeltSallie, What, LM, GA, et al.:

All my posts in which I express support for President Trump and hope his health recovers are now being deleted one by one (e.g. http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=247345, etc.), so that only the accusations that I'm a troll, pig, or a "foreign" spy due to my being an immigrant remain.

XXXI construe that to mean commenting in support of Trump in the politics forum or expressing opposition to Biden's policies is out of bounds and my time here is done.XXX Correction, all my posts are being deleted by the mods, including those in Greek Life forum, except this thread. Sorry for jumping to conclusions.

I thank you for the friendship you've extended over the two weeks I was here. While the level of passion expressed by another user was - to put it mildly - unexpected, overall I enjoyed our discussion greatly. Kindly pass on my regards to the other ladies if this post is deleted prior to them seeing it.

Take care and best regards,
Ronaldo

Do you seriously not understand what a troll is in Internet parlance?
