Thread Name: BS: How to have a civil debate
Subject: RE: BS: How to have a civil debate
"I learn it from history books."
You cl;early stated on The Famine that you are have read nothing on it nor does the subject interest you.
Having openly said that, you have no grounds whatever of claiming what you claimed and it is outrageous that you should do so, and then indulge in the string of abuse you did, much to the amusement (and embarrassment of all involved - you were asked on numerous occasions top stop, yet you persisted until the thread closed.
Quoting historians requires having read and understood them to some degree - and - most of all, being interested in the subject under discussion.
I deliberately avoided mentioning names as such behaviour is widely known enough not to have to - "historians" has become a standing joke throughout this forum .
I have no intention of spoiling this useful thread by trawling over old ground with you - that does not make for civil debate, but, if you persist in such behavior, reasonable discussion will not be possible and threads will continue to be closed.   
I have said what I have to say on your behaviour - as far as I am concerned, the matter is over here.
