[Vision2020] Paul Kimmel and Doug Wilson

[Jack Van Deventer]

Sunil, do you think posting anonymous fliers that give a false impression is
the best way to make Moscow a better place?  Of course, fliers aren’t a
problem any more.  We have plenty of malicious anonymous posters here on
Venom 2020 that do nothing more than spread hatred as they tear others down.
All in the name of tolerance.

 

Moscow is made of better stuff than this, but you’d never know it from this
forum.

Jack

Hi Jack,

Glad you're back.  Now that you are, can you clear up my confusion regarding
your flyer comment?  I asked you last week, but never heard back. 

Thanks,

Sunil
