You're running out of evidence to back up your claims, that's all.
You could at least have the courtesy of answering questions, such as
the question *where* I have offended the Polish or Hungarians. If you
make such allegations, you should back them up with proof (i.e. a literal
quote from me where I actually said this). Otherwise it's just libel.

In egalitarian Internet discussions, the strength/"backup" of your
arguments (or lack thereof) matters, not who you are.

It was you who lumped me and Canadian activists together with Stalinism:

Isn't it absurd and demeaning to allege totalitarianism to those who
stand up against corporate totalitarianism ? After such comments,
you'll have to accept my frankness that...

This is not an offence, just a historical fact. Like it or not: It was
this kind of politically na�ve, uncritical people who have let totalitarian
and/or very harmful systems "happen". It is happening again, albeit with a
friendlier facade (and the PR has become much more sophisticated since then).
That's why I'm a bit allergic to such attitudes.
If you can disprove my statements with facts, feel free to do so.
That's what list discussions are about. We are here to share information
and learn from evidence-supported points. But there's no point in empty
dismissals like your latest one.
