penetrating analysis
***If what brojoke has been doing here qualifies as penetrating analysis, then the whole field of historical research is doomed.
No, BroJoe is far from guilty of analysis, penetrating or otherwise. I was speaking of other posters to this thread, of the opportunity provided for expression of their analysis for edification of readers.
I'm a "history-buff", not a historian.
What I express here are facts & personal opinions, potentially "penetrating", but not necessarily so.
The "whole field of historical research" has no dependence -- zero -- on what yours truly, BroJoeK, may post here.
It is, however, based on assumptions which any true historian is free to challenge and adapt to his/her only analyses.
You of course are not required to believe a single word I post, but you do have to meet certain standards of civilized language, or you and potentially this whole thread, will be deleted by our mods.
It has happened, and it can happen again.
You've been warned.
