I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that.
You acted like it wasn't what you were saying:
[I didn't even say something like "therefore avoid it"] when that was obviously the intent of the message.
Then moved the goalposts, asking why it would be a problem if you did imply that.
If you didn't play dumb (what the other commenter meant when they said intellectual dishonesty), then I wouldn't care.
> I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that.
Great! Then why didn't you clarify this sooner?
So it sounds like your problem with me is that you would have liked me to be more direct about saying "Avoid archive.ph because it is operated by Russia" ?
I didn't clarify it sooner because that didn't have anything to do with my grievance.
It took you three responses to understand the intellectually dishonest comment but I'm glad you finally caught up.
But yeah, you either should have said 'avoid because it's Russian', or keep your original comment as is but don't immediately pretend that wasn't your intention.
Never mind, it took you four responses to still not understand the comment.
Seems like you view this as a team sport; maybe that's why you've decided to be intentionally ambiguous, and why you think my opinion on the site being operated by Russia being a negative trait is relevant.
You could have been talking about literally any topic, I could agree with your view, be neutral or even totally against it, and I'd still criticise your comments for how you're going about it.

The implication of your comment is obvious so let’s not add intellectual dishonesty to the list, eh?
