GROUPTHINK MOSCOW is about as clever a soubriquet as Blind2020 and
similar juvenile constructs, but I imagine that you already know that,
and just don't care.  After all, you still address Andreas as Andrea,
and pretend that you don't know that he is male.  I did call you
ToeKneeTime initially, but only because it appeared in your own
e-mail.  The capitalization and exclamation marks are clever, too.

Are all conservatives like-minded?  Really?  Then you are a much more
shallow lot than I imagined.  This does present me with a a conundrum,
because in my experience most conservatives are thoughtful, rational
human beings.  It' is unfortunate that your immediate friends have
apparently convinced you otherwise.

We get it, and we would never "disqualify" anyone based on their
persuasion, whatever that means.  However, we would disallow those
whose sole purpose was to annoy, antagonize, and disrupt.
