Meh.

He seems to know that such laws exist and it's not our fault if he breaks them. I think the laws are stupid but it's still my fault if I run afoul of them.

Listen to what he has to say and if you disagree with him, then prove him wrong, IF you want an open and honest discussion.
I'd engage honestly if I thought he was doing the same thing.

Nothing about the way this thread has gone suggests that he is. I see a lot of highly selective historical reading, blatant ignorance of topics he professes a high degree of familiarity with, and a mindset that assumes anyone with contradictory information has been brainwashed or lied to.

As soon as other posters start engaging (Jimbuna, Oberon), suddenly there are "documents" that back up his nebulous claims, but only available in French.

Then it's a mystical hour-long "documentary" that is sadly only available in French.

Next - instead of arguing in support of his thesis suddenly the only thing we're supposed to do is prove him wrong.

Then he decides that we're all off-topic and he'll only continue in French. If we want him to explain we should post in French.

Of course being off-topic wasn't a problem when discussing conflicts that happened during the war between the Kriegsmarine and the Royal Navy.

You cannot reason someone out of a position they did not reason their way into.

I have zero interest in having a full and frank discussion here. There are better ways to spend one's time.


This might make me a bad forum user, but that is waaaaay down the priority list.
