Nick Berg was in Iraq. Did he stop being American or Jewish because of his geographical location? Dmitri's currently in the U.S. Need I spell the rest of this syllogism out even for a lowly tax leech like yourself? Ah well. He doesn't stop being a Russian just because he's not always in Russia. Got it? Are you sure?

Meanwhile, notice how you avoid admitting that you were caught in a lie about your tax-leeching status [shame shame shame...] by instead posting insulting, self-aggrandizing stuff? No surprise there. Now then, precisely what value is added to society by all the busy work that you do at taxpayers' expense, which taxpayers are still violently forced to finance AT GUNPOINT? I'm sure you'll come up with some hubris-based bunk like "research is what we do when we don't know what we're doing and without it, we don't make as many accidental discoveries". Do you know a single tax leech who hasn't come up with some similar "justification" for getting to leech off of real people that actually matter and add value? And of course you deflect the unflattering truth through incessant snobbery, as if that justifies your not having to add tangible value to society. We have all the data we need regarding your realm of "expertise" but the porkers in your inefficient state predictably INSIST that only ignorant people would assert that. Prove me wrong: why should we continue adding to the $7.1 trillion dollar (record high) national debt to (involuntarily) subsidize you?

Finally, you quoted the guidelines from a different page in this site because you didn't see what you wanted on THIS page to justify your maliciousness towards Dmitri. You conveniently included only a mere excerpt though. Here it is in its entirety:

The Habitablezone exsists to serve the
interests of the space community, to
put Space enthusiasts in contact
with each other and the people
who are making an impact on
our journey to the stars.
For engineers, reporters,
authors, rocket scientists,
planetary scientist, geologists,
students and for all.

Interesting. For ALL. As for what's left:

Habitablezone is moderated
and free of anomalism,
pseudoscience and advertisements.
It is here to educate, and
facilitate communication. Please
enjoy your stay at one of the more
habitable corners of the Internet.

Anomalism pervades many of the postings in this forum, although the definition of anomalism is admittedly a relative term. Nevertheless, the very passage that you quoted said this forum is here to educate. Rather than educate Dmitri about your preferences, you instead took out your understandable insecurities on him. You are a bully, a tax leech, and a coward. You know why. Why not apologize to Dmitri for not handling that newcomer's posting maturely like folks such as Gary admirably did. A growing quantity of others among us know why you didn't but when will you come to terms with why? Acknowledgement of a personal problem's a major milestone regarding overcoming it. Ah who am I kidding. Go back to your tax-leeching sinecure and "add more value" to society, you important little person you.
