You can't attack other users like this, no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are. We have to ban accounts that do it, so please don't do it again.

The term "useful idiot" isn't an attack. It's a term. I wasn't calling him an "idiot". I was saying he was being used by propaganda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot

It's an obvious attack, and so is telling people that they're being "used by propaganda". We ban accounts that post like that repeatedly, so please don't do it again.

You need to make your points by focusing on the topic at hand, not swiping at the person you're arguing with.
