In any case, can we not all exercise a bit of restraint?

Thanks marc----and Dan-San--in fact the 'seminal' post I feel was Manfreds post 153 wherein HE mentioned, W.W.2 and dealt with the Bombing campaign in a pejorative manner that I only tried to balance by reminding him, and others, to not forget who started it!
I feel he became quite Anglophobic in post 157!
In post 132 (probably the first time we ever spoke together he called me 'hateful'--then in post 133---'an idiot'!!
Another poster took offence at my simple claim that England and France in W.W.1 were parliamentary Democracies-----142 and 147----but, in spite of my requests to 'correct me' (because he obviously thinks I'm wrong!) has remained quiet!
Chock criticises roundly and mentions allied war crimes IN THE SAME BREATH as German war crimes in two World Wars! But he uses a book about the Battle of Britain as ---and I quote exactly (as it is only right that I should---having been accused of more Machiavellianesque -----well, doctoring)--" My main sources for info relating to Dresden"
He further accuses me of ---for some, preumably Germanophobe reason of my own, of harping on things better left alone in case it upsets Germans--sort of thing---YET I DID NOT GO THERE FIRST-----and indeed he kept up with me post for post!
I agree with Russ of course---and with marc, and will drop out of this thread----but be assured that I feel not talking about history is no way to ascertain the truth about it, and that stance ill becomes a history based forum...
Dave.
