The individual in question is 13 years old and he was only fueling the debate to cause chaos. Good riddance.

There is nothing to fuel if you don't give them fire. Let's all learn to ignore and let them be. I just think ejecting is way too far. I know this is a sensitive topic and we all stand with Ukraine but it's not the poor child's fault if they are brainwashed. I don't even see it as a blocker to all enjoy this game together, unless they start spamming and disrupting continuously our gameplay but I did not get that impression actually

For instance, I *know* the earth is a globe but I'm not going to be condemning people who "believe" it's flat. I will simply ignore them. This is what you do when you read something you don't like on the web. I see no benefit in trying to change the mind of the other nor I have any interest on them attempting to change mine.

Sanctions and ejections should only be done in response to specific actions or offenses, not opinions.

Anyway, I know what's been done is done but just wanted to state my position on the matter

I thought everyone agreed we are done with this argument.

In fact, instead of banning 13-year-olds, lemons should be excluded from the citrus category. We should reclassify it in the "other" category. Lime is definitely a better citrus fruit.

There’s no real way to go to war with someone as that is not a mechanic in the game. Taking territory isn’t really a thing either as no one owns any territory really. War and territory taking can be done in role play but we don’t have a map or anything

You're absolutely correct in your assessment, Former Argentina. Fundamentally I do agree with the sentiment, in fact in most cases that's usually how I'd handle the situation, by just letting bygones be bygones. Had the backlash to his opinions been more restrained and had the opinions been expressed once a conclusion to the disaster had come to pass, it probably wouldn't have required a response in the first place. But, given the current atmosphere and the sentiment of the region at large, if an ill-informed individual sparks discourse with their misunderstanding of the situation and the nationalism they feel blinds them from actually seeing the truth when discussing it on the internet, it's just a powder-keg for a very displeased residency in the region that will inevitably call on the Regional Government to take action, or simply express their disapproval of their presence here, against an individual who is feeling attacked by us simply speaking the reality of the situation. The actions from Putin are so reprehensible and obvious (to us who have far more expansive access to non-propaganda media) that someone who repeats the propaganda comes off as being just as bad as Putin and people will have visceral reactions which cause disruption and some chaos.

Essentially, although the actions disagree with the general philosophy of the region, I had to pick between keeping the peace in the long haul and following those principles. It's similar to how regions generally handle other fascist-supporting (whether just brainwashed or actually fascist) elements of the game by simply outright rejecting them from having breathing room anywhere, but I do see the downside of taking these actions to the people themselves since they get stuck in an even deeper echo chamber. If they come to their senses and aren't rigid to a change in their thoughts on the matter, then I would be completely willing to let him back into the region, if he wished to return.

I agree I think there is a balance between our regional harmony and making sure nations in our regions feel comfortable and having freedom of speech/ expression. I think the nation in question was deliberately causing discourse and for that reason I think it best they were ejected and find somewhere else to share their views. We’ve made it very clear in this region that we support Ukraine, if people don’t support Ukraine then that’s their choice to find another region but I think we conversations on RMB need to be productive and peaceful, yes let’s debate but let’s not debate when it comes to the killing innocents civilians, anyone who debates for that IMO is wrong.

Yeah this was something that was making me a bit uneasy, I understand that it’s about the comfort of members of the region who have personal connection to the issue but I dont want us to just ban people who genuinely don’t know and are being lied to, and calling them Kremlinbots and the like when they are just victims of propaganda where the leader of the nation has completely shut out unbiased info. I understand why the choice was made though.

Also, I don’t think they were 13, there was a different person who was saying they were 13.

I feel like they will never change there rigidness, if they go to a pro-Putin region, they will be fed more Russian propaganda.

I mean just think of it from there view, they probably think the banject was just us not accepting the truth.

Yes, but according to polling data the amount of Putin supporters is more than the amount of invasion supporters, so some Putin supporters are against the invasion.
