Given this, the least you could have done is to have a good bit of proof lined up in this board's language (English) before you even wrote your first sentence. But you didn't. If you didn't prepare, you have to expect to lose.

If you really don't like my Google Docs idea ... well, I don't see any reason why this must be pushed through this year and this year only. Your chances of getting somewhere likely won't be hurt if you spent this year preparing and coming with a nice concentrated fist around the same time ... oh, next year?

Just my two cents.

I must also show my appreciation to the excellent moderation we are getting on this board. It is on days like this when the differences in moderation quality really show

@ Kazuaki Shimazaki II : Thank you for your kind message.

As I already said, I didn't open this thread, and this has never been my wish. Sailor Steve forced me to do, because he wanted to know my arguments. That's all.

No, you didn't open this thread. What you did, though, was to post off-topic in a game thread, stating that the war was entirely Britain's fault. When someone disagreed with you and it turned into an ongoing argument, I moved it to General Topics.

Therefore you did indeed start this fight, and now seem to want to blame it on someone else. This sounds familiar.

I don't blame you. I'm just saying what happened. I'm pleased to expose my arguments, but I didn't plan to open a debate.

May I ask that this thread is not closed. Fahnenbohn has provided evidence as asked. There still might be some discussion left.

As for Oberon's Holocaust memorial day, we are not talking about the Holocaust in this thread, so I see no reason to close the thread because of it.

That's just my opinion.

I agree, although I'd rather not call what he delivered "evidence", I don't see why this thread must be closed. You'll never know...
