Guest, I did not misrepresent the piece.
He used a different word of disparagement to dismiss each of them, but I just used one.
It does not alter the contempt he expressed for them and their work.

Compare that to the total misrepresentation Musket put on here about the Coast programme.
Why no criticism?

Jim, that piece says how intelligent, well informed people like the Guardian sub-editor, although strongly anti war, were moved to enlist not by jingoism but by disgust at the German war machine.
It tells us how false perceptions were formed after the thirties by relentless propaganda from the likes of Clark and Taylor.

But all that is irrelevant to my case.
My case is that the historians have rejected those old myths, and that is why you can not find one who supports them.

Let us know when you have.
