1—I didnt say YOU said that. It was a general point.
2-Instead of patronising other freepers, which is certainly something you are good at (I have argued with you before and read you in threads I havent taken part in), and in my case because of my supposed inability to read and comprehend, perhaps you should take a look at your posts, and how they are constructed and read to other freepers.
The reference to the Ukrainian famine could easily be read as you making a comparison between historical events.
But rather than look at how you post, I understand that you find it easier to simply patronise people, as you seem to have a very high regard for yourself and your intellect.
In all the time I have been on FR, which now nearly 8 years under two names, I frankly have never seen you admit error, even when others have clearly corrected your statements or facts. You come across as incredibly arrogant and extremely patronising, and more importantly infallible and that every other freeper is rather below you.

So? You mean there might be something wrong with making the starving nations net exporters of food and carting away food needed for starving people under guard might have been wrong in both cases? Gee.
“But rather than look at how you post, I understand that you find it easier to simply patronise people, as you seem to have a very high regard for yourself and your intellect.”
Get out of your basement. Take a walk. Kiss a girl. Get over yourself. You don’t think that your comment about having read about the famine in school might not be viewed as “patronising”? Worse than not seeing the obvious, you’re a hypocrite.
“In all the time I have been on FR, which now nearly 8 years under two names, I frankly have never seen you admit error,”
When I make one, I admit it. I don’t make many. If you haven’t seen me admit error, then you haven’t read enough.
“even when others have clearly corrected your statements or facts.”
Again, when I make a mistake, I admit it. I make very, very few errors about history.
“You come across as incredibly arrogant and extremely patronising, and more importantly infallible and that every other freeper is rather below you.”
I really don’t care how I come across. I just care about getting my facts right about history. And generally I’ve done that. If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.
