Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
You are obviously not going to respond with anything resembling a sane explanation of your insane claims
I suggest you take a serious look at your behaviour on this forum - which has led to your deliberately flooding and destroying thread after thread with your fanaticism.
Here, on the basis of a few cut-'n-pastes, gathered to fit a preconceive stance on a subject you have on knowledge whatever (despite claims of it being your "lifelong study" you are now attempting to do what no historian (or even tabloid journalist) has done and single-handedly re-write the history of World War One as it is regarded by all historians and educationalists in Britain today.
While you may have pointed out some features of the subject that have been put under scrutiny by diverse, and not particularly distinguished or qualified historians (and a tabloid journalist) - you have redifined
THE CAUSES OF WORLD WAR ONE, COMPLETELY IGNORING THE NOW FULLY ACCEPTED IMPERIALIST NATURE OF THE CONFLICT
THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR AND HOW IT WAS LED
THE ATTITUDE OF THE PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT, WHY THEY VOLUNTEERED, THE NATURE OF THE PROPAGANDA WHICH LED THEM TO DO SO AND THEIR FEELINGS ON THEIR ASPIRATIONS, THEIR TREATMENT AND THEIR DISILLUSIONMENT - ALL FULLY DOCUMENTED MATTERS OF RECORD.
No single historian (or even tabloid journalist) has attempted to make the claims you have made here
A tiny handful of relatively unknown historians have, as I said, have questioned some aspects of the conflict and thrown them open for debate.
You have lumped them all together, and on the basis of a few hastily gathered cut-'n-pastes, have attempted to turn known history on its head and create a whole new historical scenario for the events all in total ignorance of the subject, and without ever having read a book
As far as I can see, your attitude displays signs of acute megalomania.
This is now happening repeatedly on this forum on virtually every topic you become involved in.
Please have some regard for those of us who do have some interest and a little knowledge in the subjects we contribute to.
If you are gong to continue to behave the way you do you will damage this forum ore than you have so far, which is not inconsiderable.
