"Jim, she is attacking Revisionism."
She is indeed - not your distorted interpretation of "revisionism"
You have consistently and quite deliberately misused the term 'revisionism' to avoid addressing the facts of British culpability.
You are still doing so.
One more time:
TREVELYAN'S LETTER EXPRESSED CLEARLY GOVERNMENT POLICY - ACT OF GOD - CLOSE WORKHOUSES AND GRAIN STORES - ENFORCED EMIGRATION - CULL THE POPULATION - UNQUOTE!!
I will continue to put this statement up and I have no doubt you will continue to ignore it - which is fine by me; every time you do so will be a further exposé of your lying dishonesty and yet another hole in your already well-riddled credibility.
"Your are dishonest and wrong to claim there is no dispute."
Don't you dare call me a liar - if you have any evidence what exactly that dispute is and how it contradicts anything I have said, tell us what it is; so far you have only alluded to it.

This from the Dictionary of Irish History Studies.
Revisionism
"For others, professional historians born in an independent Ireland and former students of the Institute of Historical Research in London, the British relationship is not paramount. For them, the Famine was a historical problem to be coolly dissected and demythologized. Anxious to wean the Irish public away from myths of the past, the revisionists tended to play down the importance of the Famine, or suggested that it was somehow inevitable and not the fault of the British government"
