It wasn't. You simply didn't like being called out that you were flat-out wrong - and that your position, lacking completely in fact, cannot be reduced to an "opinion". You could put a Holocaust denier on a panel with an Auschwitz survivor, and give them both equal time to present their stories, but the cold, hard truth will ALWAYS be that there WAS a Holocaust and that millions of innocent Jews died as a consequence of it. Just because someone has chosen to "believe" it was all a hoax, does not give that idea any validity - because it's indefensible.

You're daft. At the end of his lecture he stated "YOUR part of the problem". By the use of the English word "your" it was directed at me personally. He made it personal.

your plural of your (Adjective)
Adjective

Belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing: "what is your name?".
Belonging to or associated with any person in general: "the sight is enough to break your heart".

Except I didn't use "your" as a reference to you directly... I used "your" as a reference to the first "you"... which was PLURAL in use, within the context of the sentence... you just read it as singular (meaning you)...

Here's the quote form the actual post.

and as I posted when I was done (and assumed you were too) with this.. I'll quote (so there are no contextual errors) what I asked you:

.. for you to consider it "personal" then you must also agree that you are part of the problem...

Which means you agree with me.

Which is it?

I believe you meant to write, "YOU'RE daft". The form you used, "your," is actually the possessive. FYI.

This is why I love this board. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.
