You are clearly an advocate of the nationalist school of thought then Jim.
I do not feel qualified to judge, but I am impressed by the fact that revisionism has long been the dominant view of actual historians.

Now the personal stuff.
Everyone else can stop reading now.

" not distortions of positions (NOT GUILTY), no unqualified then ignored accusations of "censorship", or "suppression"(YOU DID NOT APPROVE OF CERTAIN HISTORIANS BEING QUOTED), no hidden agendas (I HAVE NONE), no screeching u-turns and changes-of-direction in midstream MY POSITION HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY CONSTANT AND UNCHANGING-2 SIDES TO THE DEBATE), no praising to the skies(NOT GUILTY) then vilifying of respected and skilful historians(NEVER DONE THAT EITHER)..... in fact, a discussion on which one can make up their own mind on what is said rather than what is claimed to have been said.(AMEN.)
