And where exactly does Mr Terry Coleman say that people were forcibly put on ships? After all it was you who stated the following wasn't it?

"The forcible shipping out of sick and dying human beings was a contributory factor"

Which is quite a bit different from what you are now trying to rather pathetically state:

"Starving people were left no alternative other than to pack onto overcrowded and unsuitable coffin ships"

And even that, strictly speaking, is not true is it? Classic example of emotive, hysterical claptrap laid on with a trowel.

When it comes ability related to reading things and understanding what they are saying, believe me I do not need help from anyone - wish that the same could be said about you.
