>Please do not debase yourself with personal attacks and unsubstantiative remarks.

You should follow your own rule here and stop posting.

>instead of immediately jumping to "may be one of the greatest psyop of our time", which completely drowns out any merit to your message. Saying something is suspect is one thing, immediately accusing it to be the work of phantom Russian hackers

Nothing wrong with jumping to something that factually happened, on the specific subject platform where it happened. Only you believe it drowns out merit because apparently facts and history go against your narrative. They weren't "phantom Russian hackers", they actually were Russian hackers. We know this because we had a federal investigation and congressional hearings that confirmed the fact that reddit is a target for Russian propaganda campaigns.

>essentially frames yourself as being QAnon of another political stripe, and discredits your own position.

IMAX-level projection. "Believe my false narrative or you're Qanon-like!"

>There were many many #resistance grifters and fabulists during the heady days of Russiagate

And there it is, the mask slips off, "Russiagate". Straight from the Trumpers Qanon script.

>and you do yourself no favors by using the same sort of accusatory tone and language as that ilk.

It's accusatory because it actually happened, on the same platform.

>Do try harder next time.

No need, this worked perfectly.
