What would they do to him? Make him eat slugs? Work in an iphone factory?

The Chinese would have him for lunch. The disputes over territory between the two countries are legendary and there is much of Russia the Chinese would like to take back.

I can see him working at the iPhone factory....

You know what you need if you want some Putinjelly? More Chinese food.

Yeah, the fact that the Chinese and Russians have "settled" their border dispute is just China's way of telling the Russians they'll be back later for what they think is theirs. For now, they want to focus elsewhere like those islands and the border with india.

I'm exercising my constitutional right to free speech and while this website isn't exactly a democracy, if members can openly express their racial bigotry with immunity from administrative action (which I'm in favor of letting them speak their minds), then certainly we should be able to talk a strategic region in the Pacific Ocean. Good grief.

You do not have free speech rights here, and they make the rules up as the mood changes.

What specific TOS does it violate ?

Ryan of VJ moderation has informed me that we are not allowed to discuss that topic on VJ. I have already been suspended twice for bringing it up.

You are Joking right?

No.

I started a thread some time back on Obama's statement that he considered the Senkaku islands covered under the US-Japan security treaty. Other posters turned that thread into a flame war and it got locked.

I then started another thread on how a US official said that if the President asked the military to vacate the Senkaku islands of a Chinese occupation force, they could.

Ryan killed the second thread and suspended me for 48 hours because "this thread you started deals with the same issue in [the] thread that was closed for TOS violations."

Those two threads dealt with the same issue, so they killed it.

And what is that issue?

The Senkaku islands.

That is all I am allowed to say.

They should just thread ban the flamers.

I suspect there is some other reason the people who run this site don't want to see Senkaku threads.

Maybe they wouldn't mind if we called them Diaoyu?

Wasn't it one of those threads about the possibility of extremophiles living in Europa that ended up in bashing the current president and the color of his skin?

I could see how that's related.

I wasn't around to see why the first thread got locked. All I knew is it got locked because of VJers doing what VJers do and then the Senkaku topic was declared forbidden by the powers that be.

[GandD 5,966]

This thread is on borrowed time anyway.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Absolutely. Obama is the new Kevin Bacon. No matter where you start, you're never separated from him farther than by 6-degrees...

I am willing to bet money the motley crew made it about Obama, and how Putin would have handled matters so much more effectively...

Either way, Senkaku is no longer an allowed topic on VJ so I'd appreciate it if we'd all change the subject now and get back to the original topic. Chinese coercion, not including those particular islands of the south china sea.
