Reported . . .

Your claim as "richrichie" was that In fact.

Unless you're now claiming that Russia is open about police visits.

As for "Sweaty", who are you, Prince Andrew the 2nd?

Let me guess, you're from the UK?

Furthermore, unless I've claimed something, don't attribute me as claiming it. Sound fair, sweaty?

Not from the UK. Far from it.

The assertion by richrichie was that "In fact .. (more people in UK are visited by the police for social statements than people in Russia)"

The response from vedmed concerned reported visits from police which can easily vary from actual visits from police given one country is better known than the other for not reporting police actions, and in any case cited no source for the claimed "reports" of arrest.

You did in fact refer to a user as "Sweaty" .. why and whether that was meant to land as an insult isn't clear - something you might want to work on.
