Mac did not make your point.
He thought you were claiming that Sheffield said his views are not generally accepted BY THE PUBLIC.

That is true, and they are not.

You actually claimed that Sheffield "has acknowledged, as has the BBC article, that the views he hold are not those commonly held by OTHER HISTORIANS"

That is a blatant lie from a blatant liar.

You also claimed that Sheffield said things that contradict my views.

Another blatant lie.

Ideologues like you have to win at all costs, and lying is a normal tactic.

I would rather lose.
