episode 1) The Battle of Britain thread, it set the benchmark for all of your subsequent anti British contributions, because it was the first one I saw myself, the may have been many more previously.
Your points:
1. Not really a battle
2. Not really a victory for Britain (wording you used: not a defeat for LW) either way it was underplaying any achievement by the British.
3. not really very signifficant event in WWII
4. some other generic pap some others spout about how the LW were so terribly disadvantaged it was easy for the Brits anyway.
5. the Americans really won it for us because they SOLD us food and fuel and ammo.
6.History is written by the winners so everything we know about it is a lie but only you know the real truth.
7. you somehow needed to bring Op Market garden into the question to highlight general British incompetency.
8. Britain is nothing but a bunch of colonialist and nationalist pigs with a sense of self righteousness which is why we keep resisting your version of the truth.
episode 2) North Africa, I forget which thread it was involved in.
your points:
1. Not really a battle because it was easy for the Brits with a numerical advantage (see points 1,2,3,4 above and merge them)
2. The Americans won it for us by SELLING us food, ammo and eventually getting involved.
3. somehow Op Market garden was brought up again to highlight British incompetency and in particular Montgommery's.
4. History is written by the winners so everything everyone else know is just a lie but only you know the real truth.
5. Britain is just a bunch of colonialist and Nationalist pigs with a sense of self righteousness which is why we keep resisting your version of the truth.
episode 3) this thread, an innocent link to a bbc programme about bomber command which you even agreed was objective and unbiassed, yet somehow you managed to drag us down another one of these roads because you couldn't help trying to remind everyone the British are just war criminals.
your points:
1. Britain are war criminals.
2. We built a statue to prove it.
3. History is written by the winners so everything we know about it is a lie but only you know the real truth.
4. Britain is just a bunch of colonialist and Nationalist pigs with a sense of self righteousness which is why we keep resisting your version of the truth.
5. Britain should hand over the Falklands?
what it shows me:
you don't really think very highly of us......but that's ok because you said you like the UK and you live here.
can you see 'MY' point now? so forgive me if I get a little sensitive, it's just you seem ever prepared to take anything dear to the Brits and rip it to shreds at any given opportunity.
you can tell me I've exaggerated it and twisted your words all you like but everything I mentioned 'is' something you said and I am just telling you what it sounds like to me.

You are really a word twister!
But i really believe your conception of the written information is garbled somehow.
For example: NEVER in this thread was written that "Britain are war criminals" except by you.
If you really say, that there weren't any war crimes by done by british citizen, you've already made everything written by you here worthless.
But the rest of your interpretation isn't any better and only proves Sternjaeger (whose posts i usually detest
) right.
Imo, of course.
