    [FONT=Verdana][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]"It is only after I have denounced pervasive Eurocentric racist bias as well as constant incidences of verbal abuse against people who come from a faith based left backgrounds in the forums; that all of the sudden I am the target of ''infractions''. In eastern theosophy there is no distinction between ‘’philosophy’’ and ‘’religion’’. It is Eurocentric and racist to impose a western standard of categorisation. You advertise your brand as ‘’internationalist’’, yet the entire structure of your application is designed to give Anglophones and westerners an implicit advantage. I plan to file complaints with the appropriate anti-discrimination authorities; as well as to inform the public about the pervasive incidence of Anglophone Ethnocentrism, Eurocentric Racism, and anti-religious discrimination in your brand website."

    [FONT=Verdana]“…I am ware that I find myself in a hostile environment at revleft. From the day I became a member of this website i have been subjected to sustained rhetorical hellfire. In fact, on the day I joined I posted a message in the introductions forum ''bolivarian greetings''. My intention was to say ''hello''. Instead of being welcomed, I was bombarded from the get go with a shower of political criticism in the thread and in private messages. revleft is not exactly a ''friendly'' place for Leftist with a Faith based background or non-native Anglophones. I learned early on that in here one better be prepared to defend oneself or be pummelled. So I play the game. if you want to say that i am a ''troll'' for defending myself against verbal abuses: then, ‘’troll’’ I am…”[/FONT]

    I don't know what authorities you could hope to turn this site over to, but I agree with the rest.

    I agree too. Many Vietnamese communists were Buddhists. Many good socialists are Islamic. I have no problem with that as long as they do not let their faith override their communism...which they don't.
