What you cannot be bothered to do Mr McVicar is support your own knee-jerk opinions, I on the other hand have fully explained and supported mine, all on information supplied by Jim McLean himself.

As to historical fact and the order in which things happened your perception may well be at variance to mine. Unfortunately what is inescapable truth is that McLean & Co had absolutely nothing to do with the protest that may, or, more likely may not, have prompted Captain Richard Laning USN to make any reference to Eskimos. There has been no verification presented that he ever made the remark.
