Then your behavior makes little sense. The webpage you made a point of linking, posting and defending didn't argue that mammoths lived in "mild" climates.
Now it becomes more clear. Maybe you are not as much a liar as just careless. I did not post it or any links. Go back and look.
I replied to an attack against it, but really am skeptical of the tropical aspect myself. I did however think the evidence supporting mammoths being flash frozen was agreed upon. I am not sure how else the well preserved specimen can be accounted for.

No. All the frozen mammoths appear to have died from causes other than freezing -- e.g. mired in mud, flood or land slumps -- and got buried deep enough that their bodies were entombed in the permafrost layer (which was not generally as close to the surface in the Pleistocene as it is today). See the webpage I linked earlier, and many other sources.
