"You've just complained about being insulted but you seem totally incapable of posting to those who disagree with you without prefixing it with insults."

Complained Jim? No long ago gave up on that, I merely commented on it. I tend to deal in the coin paid to me and besides what insults?

I highlight my apologies because inhabiting this forum we have lying bastards who say I never apologise or own up to making mistakes (Just recently blown that myth/downright lie clear out of the water - Ask Raggy). So it seems as if you may be able to recognise rare breeds of bird but your command of the English language is so damn poor that you cannot recognise and take note of an apology when it is made.

"I put Tommy's story, as he told it to us, on the 'unregulated Remembrence Day' thread - that is how he told it, that is how I first posted it and that is how it remains."

I know, I read it, and that was a very modified version of the story you first told. Think it was one of the Muskets who first brought up summary executions and you introduced us to Tommy Kenny to support the lie - It was you who wittered on about there being special squads of Military police engaged in the summary execution of British soldiers and various people were introduced out of the woodwork who were supposedly veterans who had witnessed this that and the other but nobody could find any details, nobody could give the name of any dear innocent comrade who had been executed in this manner. Obviously the much valued commodity of common sense does not exist in your universe Carroll, but ask any serviceman who has ever been on active service and he will tell you the names of those who were there alongside him, the names of his Sergeants and the names of his Officers - and you are really trying to tell us that such a servicemen would not be able to tell the name of a friend summarily executed by a British Military Policeman standing within a few feet of him - utterly preposterous and totally unbelievable.

Here is another of your lies Jim:

"You even claimed that you were able to find that there was no record of him having served - yet when I tested your ability to find such information by asking you to produce details of my uncle, who was a medal winner in WW2, you couldn't even begin to produce such information."

1: I stated that you hadn't checked that he had served. In talking to my grandfathers and their friends what service, branch or regiment they had been in was always the first things they told you. Where they served was the second. Those bits of information were vital to frame the stories they then told - Yet Tommy Kenny mentioned none of those things otherwise that information would have been on your tape recording, and so disinterested an interviewer were you that you didn't see fit to ask or check. As far as research methodology goes that is appallingly slack and slapdash.

2: Contacting various sites I came up with not one but six Tommy or Thomas Kenny's who served. I managed to do that for a very modest outlay and I managed to do that easily within the course of one morning.

3: As for you testing my ability - I see no reason to dance to any tune you want to play - especially not if it involves personal expense in doing something I am not in the least interested in.

You have still not managed to provide verbatim any lie I have told on this forum, and guess what Carroll - you never will.
