What was it that ended up closing it?

I think the nature of *some* of the posting had become very much anti Russians/Russia rather than discussing the war and its ramifications.
“Man, my poor head is battered,” Ed said.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

We had a russian propaganda guy coming back with different registrations everytime he was kicked out. His posts were removed and the thread eventually got locked to stop that.

I hadn't realised. - I did spot he'd returned and posted once with his name reversed, but wasn't aware there'd been multiple incarnations.
