In general, I approach Ciba as a place where anyone can say anything they want to, but I can probably only do that while continuing to ignore all of your "discussions".

In all honesty, they are so preposterous, I sometimes wonder if it isn't all some act you cooked up between yourselves. It's an absurd theatre, especially considering I was under the impression you two actually know each other in real life. There was some comment under some post about whether something was illegal, which was off-topic, but was in relation to some IRL interaction you had.

His anti-semitism, which I have tried to soften (see above) is so over-the-top, I wonder if it is real, and there isn't something else at play here.

I am going to ban both of you from this journal. Nothing personal. If you are genuine people, it is a shame, but I can't be responsible for shit people say here in the comments.

The collective trauma from 3 occupations within 5 years followed by the 50 years under Soviet shitrule and derived consequences of tortured souls and minds deeply engraved in each family here in Baltics still manifests itself in so many ways. Even through denial of the causality and importance of keeping it clear and rememberec. Killed and expelled relatives, forced lies to survive via unwanted collaboration, crushed self-esteem, guilt and lots of alcohol to soften the swallowing of everyday's shame in the country that was once free and dearest above all.
At some point I decided to leave it all behind and look only for what I can do to move forward with my life and all the good and beautiful things to create.

Good for you - and I it would be profane of me to judge any Latvian in this regard.

I'll let them back in after a week or two ;).

Some people think of Ciba as poisonous place. I just see it as one of the better mirrors on LV society for ... well reasonably thinking people of various stripes. I have always valued that.

Yup, the content is generally very honest, including those humble attempts pretending not to be seen as such. Pure non-indexed pseudo-anonymity provides manifestation of reflected lightness (or darkness) of being.
