Subject: RE: BS: I am not an historian but........
look Jim, i don't agree with Keith. someone so positive about their point of view is almost guaranteed to be wrong.

describing the bugger who killed off half my family as competent is actually offensive.

but i think Keith really believes this stuff, and if historians are writing it this way - what can we do? not much. Keith and Terribus are probably the first in line for a whole load of deluded people.

Its like when Sir Thomas More wrote the history of Richard III as a skunk. the rich people won the war. they always do. they write the histories.

can't blame the bloke. he knows what he's read. I know what I was told by people who were there. he can't blame me.
