Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
Non of my quoted historians could be described as "obscure" or "tabloid journalists."
Max Whatsisname is a columnist working for an extremist right-wing rag whose history includes unqualified support for "Herr Hitler" – he no way resembles the "qualified" historian you have been demanding from the rest of us.
"But Jim, both this week and last week it was YOU who first posted about his programme!"
And it is you who has consistently used his programmes to back your dinosaur case "Paxman to camera".
Nobody is dismissing Paxman's programmes – on the contrary, they have been saying what the rest of us have been saying since this thread started- you are the only one dismissing evidence out of hand "because it doesn't come from real historians".
I was pointing out your increasingly ludicrous stance of hiding behind historians and rejecting evidence that echoed exactly last night's program – idiotic leadership, dishonest recruiting under pressure, executing British Christians profiteering... it was all there in spades.
How does this measure up beside your blanket support of an extremist racist site, your ludicrous use of an obscure bunch of Australian Utopians to support your suggestion of arming a mass-murdering dictator with riot control equipment (please deny this – I would love the opportunity to put it up here!!), your hiding behind 'experts' to back your racist "implant" claim... and every other stupidly extreme disgusting stance you have taken on this forum.
I'm thoroughly   enjoying Paxman's programmes – they absolutely vindicate all the arguments people have put forward in opposition to your jingoistic rantings – your disgusting accusations of "revisionist", "leftie", "out-of-date", "romatic", "lies" (this latter particularly disgusting when it is aimed at WW1 veterans)
Paxmans programmes have shown the "Blackadder" incompetence of leadership, the dishonest and immoral recruiting, the Imperialist nature of the war.... all human life is there.
Cant wait for the next one.
Your case is dead – give it a decent burial
