As elections draw closer, passions run higher, and one of the consequences is the growing number of insults and profanities in the virtual space. This is only natural: users — whether by duty, for pay, or out of genuine conviction — want one group to take the seats of power, and the other not to. For some, given their particular cultural and intellectual level, the way to express that passion is through foul language.
Many people now publicly report receiving messages full of insults and threats. Some even turn to law enforcement (which, by the way, is pointless, unless the target of the abuser’s aggression happens to be government officials or their supporters).
Naturally, online activists occasionally remember me as well. But I neither take offense nor complain. I don’t even delete such comments. Because they, too, carry information. And if reasonable people happen to read those messages, they can clearly understand what kind of people these Nicolists really are (the ones sending me “greetings” come from that group). These are people who either work for Pashinyan or sincerely admire him. Therefore, as their boss or idol is, so are his subordinates and worshippers. If one of them is a thug and a foulmouth, why should the others be any different?
I suggest everyone follow my example: don’t be offended and don’t complain. And don’t waste time deleting. Insulters — whether fake accounts or real ones — reveal information about themselves, not about you.

Thus, every single Nicolist comment is a full report on the kind of people this government relies on, and, more broadly, on the kind of country we are living in.
