    Haha... ut-oh: "page not found". Google is thorough and more powerful than we thought.

    I'm a bit skeptical of this and haven't heard anything similar from other left-wing sources.

    It's still the top google hit when you type "pseudo left".

    Default Does the WSWS write about Leon Trotsky? Not according to Google

    via wsws.org

    Searching Google for “Who is Leon Trotsky” will not lead web users to articles published by the most widely read Trotskyist site on the internet.

    Why is this in the practice forum?
    "I'm not interested in indulging whims from members of your faction."
    Seeing as this is seen as acceptable by an admin, from here on out when I have a disagreement with someone I will be asking them to reference this. If you want an explanation of my views, too bad.

    You raised the same point / issue at this other thread, where I responded:

    Yes, but I think you're spamming. It's becoming a clear problem when you are posting 3-5 threads a day for whatever reason and newcomers have to wade through piles of your RSS feed that they probably have no interest in. If we are trying to revitalize the forum, you're a barrier to that right now.

    Okay, and you've expressed similar sentiment at this thread as well:

    I don't agree with your criticism, and I'm not spamming.

    That doesn't matter if it's constantly the same spamposts you've been making though. I don't care if you agree or not that it's spam, cause it clearly is and users have been expressing this for pretty much since I joined the forum in early 2013.

    I'm sorry we don't agree. You sound so authoritative, but your assertions are only your own.
