110. Do what on purpose?

I don't attack people who don't attack me, I speak exactly as I'm spoken to.

I get a big chuckle of you bringing up ad nauseum my hidden posts which mostly consisted of threads regarding Ukraine in which you never even participated.

Again, which Americans here, as you said, was I accusing of killing that child, and what's your garbage about me hating American women?
