Cumpiler asked two very clear and direct questions:

>How many countries has China invaded and bombed in the last 30 years? >How many deaths did China's warmongering caused abroad?

You didn't answer those, just started hand waving some stuff about China's "own form of colonialism" -- without even explaining what that is and how it works (which personally I'd be curious to hear about, and believe *is*" likely guilty of violence).

So you very clearly are the one guilty of shifting the goalposts, going on tangents, and bringing up usernames instead of real arguments.

I'm sympathetic to Infecto's positions, but I have to agree. I do think Cumpiler69's username is outrageous enough as to draw some commentary (provided it's civil and is semi-friendly ribbing) and perhaps even raise questions of whether they are a troll, but the substance of their comments is strong enough as to override these minor observations/objections.
