Thread Name: Folklore/History: Irish Famine
Subject: RE: Folklore/History: Irish Famine
You have refused to qualify, or even acknowledge your accusations and you continue to lie abut them - "No abuse and name calling from me.", which is what I expected.
They stand as what they are, unjustified, unqualified and totally ignored (by you) inventions on your part.
I have been though your 95 postings to this thread; nowhere have you attempted to address or even acknowledge the undisputed facts of this subject - the closure of food stores, the policy to evict 3000 + families by taxation and to protect the evictors and home destroyers with armed police and soldiers, the shipping of food out of Ireland while a million starved, the locking up of grain in warehouses, the open contempt shown for Irish people by British officials and politicians.....
These are not opinions, they are historically documented facts known to all, historians and politicians alike.
You know this is true, which is why you have totally failed to respond to them - not even to deny them.
Instead you have clung to two or three historians, one of the main ones you have now rejected because she didn't make your case for you.
You now appear to be clinging to another one like a drunk around a lamp post, even though what he has to say has nothing to do with the proven facts of the famine.
Instead of argument you have given us labels and slogans, "republican", "nationalist", "revisionist", "80 years out-of-date"....
invented garbage which you continue you dishonestly offer up instead of even a pretence of argument.
Where have you even referred to any of these facts or attempted to disprove them - nowhere?
I have little doubt that you will continue to dominate this thread and will continue to offer nothing - this is trollism at its crudest.
Defend you ideas (if you have any) or show us where you already have defended them - give us one single example of where you have attempted to deal with any of the salient points of this subject - and stop lying about the serious contributors to this thread who care about it's subject and are not here on an attention-seeking ego trip.
