You expect me to thank you for that nasty, sarcastic screed you wrote? And you’re accusing me of the same.

I call that projection. You would make a good Democrat.

All I did in my original post was politely disagree with your contention that Dean-Charles Chapman was fat. I then noted that a few things about WW1 uniforms that might have affected your perception.

I just searched photos of the actor, and I didn’t see any in which he had what appeared to be a roll around his middle. He has a roundish face, but there are people like that, and many of them aren’t obese.

I have roughly 1,000 books about the Great War in my den. Many of these books detail the lives — and, all too frequently, deaths — of individual officers and enlisted me. There are photos of many of these fighting men — and I guarantee you that in such a large sample you will find all kinds of faces.

Your original post — #2 in this thread, I believe — stated that you hadn’t seen any of the nominated films. Your later posts suggested that you had.

This is rather confusing to me, but I get the impression you know nothing about the Great War and aren’t even a serious commentor, just someone out to provoke an argument.

Certainly, your nasty response to my fact-based original post was excessive. I normally try to be polite to everyone on these threads, but on the rare occasions I get a nasty response, I don’t let it pass.

I have boundaries. No one smarts off to me.

So, drop dead, again.
