Sorry, not myself today.

Dave,
But if she says what you say she says

I am not passing judgement on what Macmillan says. Just on what Keith says Macmillan says. Which I have read.


You know she said it. You have the quote and the link.

Jim,
"your refusal to respond to what some of us believe to be the major points of the war"


I think your beliefs are wrong. They are contradicted by the history books.
That is why you can not find anything supporting them.

"That is the knowledge of current historians."
No it isn't -


Ye is is. I have quoted many.
You can not quote one.

Jim again,
Keith's arguments are, and always have been a mass of contradictory, ill-thought- out claims


I have made no arguments.
Just stated my 3 views, and showed that they come from the history books.

Current historians know everything their predecessors knew or thought they knew, but now have much more information available to them.
Historical knowledge only advances.
Long dead historians are no longer relevant.
