Please ban Russians, that's not an attack?

It's a form of discrimination solely based on nationality. Even if they're not living in Russia anymore, this is still attacking those people born as Russians.

Ich habe die österreichische Staatsbürgerschaft und verhalte mich wie mein Land neutral. Leider wird mir hier von einigen Spielern sehr aggressiv nahegelegt was ich denken oder mich verhalten soll. Sollte BGA das weiterhin dulden werde ich meinen Account löschen. Ich spiele auf keiner Webseite die politisch Stellung bezieht. Da ich meine Mitgliedschaft zu Zeiten des verlängert habe, möchte ich dann meinen Beitrag zurück. Es ist Ihre Seite sie können machen was sie wollen, aber ich unterstütze das nicht.

I am sure the player meant "ban the IPs", the IPs of those players who are using BGA with a Russian/Belarusian IP.
I am sure the player didn't mean people who were born in Russia and who now live elsewhere.
And given the current situation (which is tense, as I am sure you have noticed yourself), I don't consider it to be an attack.
What I meant was that I am happy we managed to express our contradictory pieces of opinion, without getting to "mo*on" or "n*zi INSULT", "f*sc*st" or "co**unist INSULT" or any other thing, such as those.

For me, the discussions were civilised, constructive enough (we managed to see how others think), and given the current situation, I don't see them as attacks.

Even if they are Russians who do not agree with the actions of their own government, they get punished by BGA if this were to happen.

The sad thing is that nobody thinks 2 steps ahead, thinks about the implications on all parties involved.

Can we just please stop that player from making those aggressive comments on the forum?
